Why Xquik wins over ScrapeCreators

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. ScrapeCreators publishes Instagram benchmarks, but none for X. Xquik publishes every X benchmark run with its run ID. Xquik bills only delivered, unique, filter-matching results. Empty pages, failed requests, retries, duplicates & filtered rows cost nothing. ScrapeCreators’ pricing bills 1 credit per request, & empty search pages still cost a credit. On the Freelance pack, that is USD 0.00188 per page. An empty Xquik search costs 0, & each result costs USD 0.00015. 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.

  • The Twitter API page lists 7 endpoints. They cover search, profiles, user tweets, tweet details, transcripts & communities.
  • Search finds posts through Google-indexed results, not native X search.
  • The docs say recent posts can be missing from search. Google ranks the results, not recency.
  • Each successful search page costs 1 credit, including empty results.
  • User tweets returns about 100 of a user’s most popular tweets, not the latest.
  • Most endpoints cost 1 credit per request. Cached results cost 0 credits.
  • Freelance costs USD 47 for 25,000 credits, which is USD 0.00188 per request.
  • Business costs USD 497 for 500,000 credits, which is USD 0.000994 per request. Credits never expire.
  • No account-level rate or concurrency caps apply. The homepage suggests staying under 500 concurrent requests.
  • Requests use an x-api-key header. The hosted MCP server takes OAuth or that header.
