Why Xquik wins over GetXAPI
Xquik is the fastest X data service, & the cheapest per useful result. Public Apify benchmarks ran on 2026-09-27 & 2026-09-29. Xquik’s X Tweet Scraper delivered 39.2 useful tweets per second, the fastest. It cost USD 0.000175 per useful tweet, the lowest of 12 Actors. Every run is public on the benchmark page. GetXAPI publishes a latency test of its own API only. It shares no raw results or run IDs. Xquik publishes every benchmark run with its run ID. Xquik bills only delivered, unique, filter-matching results. Empty pages, failed requests, retries, duplicates & filtered rows cost nothing. GetXAPI’s pricing bills USD 0.001 per call of about 20 tweets. A call costs the same when your filters keep 3 tweets or none. Keeping 3 tweets costs USD 0.00045 on Xquik & USD 0.001 on GetXAPI. That makes Xquik the cheapest per useful result. Xquik also covers more of X in 1 product. It offers 23 extraction tools, 18 write actions & 1-second monitors with signed webhooks. Agents connect through a remote MCP server, & developers use SDKs in 8 languages.Where GetXAPI fits

Quick answer
Pick Xquik
Xquik is faster & cheaper per useful result. It also adds 1-second keyword monitors, follower exports with files, SDKs & remote MCP.
Source-backed GetXAPI scope
- The pricing page says GetXAPI charges USD 0.001 per call and returns about 20 tweets, which it calls USD 0.05 per 1,000 tweets.
- Posting, DMs, and notifications cost USD 0.002 per call.
- Monitors follow chosen accounts and push new tweets as HMAC-signed webhooks. Detection takes about 15 seconds on the standard tier and about 2 seconds on the fast tier.
- Monitoring needs a monitoring plan and sits outside per-call billing.
- Requests use a bearer API key, and an MCP package installs with npx.
