> Compare Postproxy with Xquik for tweet publishing, tweet search, follower exports, replies, monitors, signed webhooks, REST APIs, SDKs, and MCP. See examples.
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt.
Use this guide to decide whether Postproxy or Xquik is better for specific X tasks: search tweets, export followers, monitor accounts or keywords, publish actions, send webhooks, and connect apps or agents.
This is a factual comparison and migration guide. Verify current Postproxy pricing, post limits, supported platforms, and product terms on the [official pricing page](https://postproxy.dev/pricing/) before buying.
## Quick answer
Your team mainly needs one publishing API for multi-platform posts, queues, analytics, publish logs, webhooks, MCP, or workflow tools.
You need publishing plus tweet search, follower exports, media uploads, DMs, monitors, signed webhooks, SDKs, and MCP in the same account.
## Source-backed Postproxy scope
Postproxy's official homepage describes one API for creating social posts across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Threads, and Pinterest. It also positions MCP, skills, n8n, Zapier, Make, Needle, and other workflow tools as publishing integrations.
The official API overview says Postproxy can create and manage social media posts across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and Threads. The getting-started guide describes built-in scheduling, error handling, retry management, authentication, and a connected social account requirement.
The official pricing page lists Free, Build, Scale, and Enterprise plans. Free includes 2 profile groups and 10 posts/month. Build lists 10 profile groups, 120 posts/month, comments, analytics, 30-day publish logs, and webhooks at USD 17/month. Scale lists 50 profile groups, no listed monthly post-count cap, 180-day publish logs, webhooks, and priority support at USD 99/month. Enterprise starts at USD 699/month.
The pricing page says one published post counts as one post even when cross-posted to multiple platforms, and rate limit quotas from Postproxy and social platforms still apply.
Postproxy webhooks cover `post.processed`, `platform_post.published`, `platform_post.failed`, `platform_post.failed_waiting_for_retry`, `platform_post.insights`, `profile.disconnected`, `profile.connected`, and `media.failed`.
Postproxy's X guide says X has strict rate limits, separate media upload limits, and shared-app publishing limits. The BYO developer credentials guide says connecting X profiles with your own X developer credentials exempts those profiles from the shared 24-hour posting quota, subject to X credit balance and platform per-app limits.

## Current cost checkpoint
Use the current Postproxy plan limits when the job is social publishing. Use Xquik units when the job needs tweet search, follower exports, media posts & account monitors, exports, monitors, or account actions beyond publishing.
| Task | Postproxy unit to price | Xquik unit to price |
| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Publish 100 posts across social channels | Build includes 120 posts/month at USD 17/month. Cross-posting the same content to multiple platforms counts as 1 post in Postproxy. | Create tweet or reply costs 30 credits/call. Upload media separately when needed, also 10 credits/call. Xquik publishes to connected X accounts. |
| Publish more than 120 posts/month | Scale is listed at USD 99/month with no listed monthly post-count cap, subject to Postproxy and platform quotas. Postproxy says X shared publishing includes 20 posts per 24 hours, while BYO developer credentials use the account's X credits and app limits. | Price each X write call. Top-up credits cost USD 0.00015/credit, so a 30-credit create-tweet call costs USD 0.0045 before included monthly credits. |
| Search tweets or export followers | Not a Postproxy core task; it is a publishing API. | Search tweets and follower exports cost 1 credit/result, with CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, API, SDK, and MCP handoff options. |
| Monitor accounts and deliver events | Use Postproxy webhooks for post events. | Active monitors check every 1 second and cost 21 credits per monitor-hour. Stored events and signed webhook delivery management are included. |
Choose Postproxy when the main task is multi-platform publishing. Choose Xquik when X is the main channel and the workflow needs reads, exports, DMs, media uploads, 1-second monitors, signed webhooks, SDKs, or MCP.
## Xquik value to test
For API comparisons, price the whole task: endpoint access, pagination, retries, storage, exports, alerts, webhooks, SDKs, and maintenance. Choose Xquik when those pieces must ship together.
23 extraction tools cover tweets, replies, quotes, reposts, likes, followers, following, verified followers, communities, lists, Spaces, articles, and search. Export results to CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, or API responses.
17 X write actions cover tweets, media uploads, likes, retweets, follows, DMs, profile updates, and community actions from connected accounts.
Account and keyword monitors check active streams every 1 second. Events can be stored, polled, or delivered through signed webhooks.
128 REST operations, 10 SDKs, MCP, pay-per-use read endpoints, API keys, and transparent credit billing keep integration work small.
## What to verify in a trial
Use a real task: search a keyword, export followers, upload media, send a DM, monitor an account, or deliver a webhook. Compare outputs, not feature labels.
Confirm returned data, pagination, retry behavior, webhook payloads, export formats, and API ergonomics. Then compare total cost for the same task: access, included volume, top-ups, and engineering time.
Decide where the result goes next: CSV, JSON, webhook, SDK call, MCP tool, dashboard review, or another API.
## Postproxy Webhook & Quota Trial
Test one profile group before migrating a publishing queue. Connect only the
social profiles required for the trial. Keep the Postproxy profile-group ID
beside each scheduled post.
Publish one text post and one media post. Cross-post each item only where the
campaign requires it. Record the Postproxy post ID and every platform-specific
result.
Subscribe a test receiver to Postproxy post events. Capture these documented
states when they occur:
* `post.processed` for the completed parent post job.
* `platform_post.published` for a successful platform result.
* `platform_post.failed` for a final platform failure.
* `platform_post.failed_waiting_for_retry` during retry handling.
* `platform_post.insights` when refreshed engagement becomes available.
* `profile.disconnected` when a connected profile needs attention.
* `media.failed` when an attached media item cannot publish.
Store the event name, Postproxy post ID, platform, delivery time, and receiver
result. This separates a queue failure from an X-only publishing failure.
Run the X portion once with shared publishing limits. Run it again with your
own X developer credentials when the trial permits. Compare accepted posts,
retries, X credit use, and platform errors. Do not infer quota behavior from
monthly Postproxy post limits alone.
Use Xquik for the surrounding X workflow. Search source tweets before writing.
Retrieve the published Tweet ID afterward. Then export replies, quotes,
reposts, and likes through their specific routes. Use an account monitor when
new post alerts must continue after the publishing job completes.
## Migration path
Start with one API-backed task. Keep the current integration running while you compare output shape, latency, pagination, retries, exports, and alert delivery in Xquik.
Keep the test small: one task, one output, one cost model, and one downstream
owner. Confirm Xquik returns every required tweet, reply, follower, profile,
and media field. Switch only when the handoff needs less code or costs less.
Price the real workload. On Postproxy, price monthly post volume, profile groups, publish logs, comments, analytics, webhooks, and platform quota needs. On Xquik, Starter is USD 20/month with 140,000 credits. Top-ups are USD 0.00015/credit, webhook and stored-event management are free, and active monitors bill only while enabled.
Review REST API authentication, endpoint groups, and response patterns.
Map dashboard tools to REST calls, signed webhooks, exports, and MCP tools.
Check included credits, top-ups, free operations, and active monitor billing.
Verify current plan limits, post caps, and platform terms before making a final decision.
