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](https://xquik.com/en/trust#benchmark-x-tweet-scraper).

Xquik publishes reproducible benchmarks with run IDs. OpenTweet publishes none.

Xquik bills only delivered, unique, filter-matching results & each published post. Empty pages, failed requests, retries, duplicates & filtered rows cost nothing.
