## Why Xquik wins over SnitchFeed
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. SnitchFeed publishes none.
Xquik bills only delivered, unique, filter-matching results. Empty pages, failed requests, retries, duplicates & filtered rows cost nothing. [SnitchFeed's credit docs](https://snitchfeed.com/docs/credits) bill 2 credits each time a keyword's X scan runs. They bill per search, not per post found. Starter sells 7,000 credits for USD 59 a month, about USD 0.0084 each. So 1 X scan costs about USD 0.0169, even when it finds nothing. On Xquik, a search that keeps 3 tweets costs USD 0.00045. 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 SnitchFeed fits
