A Tweet Binder alternative for people who want the raw data, not the report.

What does Tweet Binder cost in 2026?

Tweet Binder no longer lists public prices. Its pricing page says Tweet Binder PRO comes as a single annual plan. PRO access is granted on request through its team, and the old legacy plans are no longer available. A free version still covers up to 200 posts from the last 7 days. Its PRO guide describes a monthly tweet balance spent by most report types, with 7-day reports that don't use the balance. To get a price you have to contact them.

How do Tweet Binder and twitr.sh compare?

When is Tweet Binder the better choice?

Choose Tweet Binder when the deliverable is the report itself. That might be a post-event recap for a client, a branded summary for a sponsor, or reach and impressions figures someone else will quote. Its historical reports reach back years, and the guide gives a 2012 hashtag as an example. It also does the metric work for you, and nobody on your side has to write code. A data API can't replace any of that.

When is twitr.sh the better choice?

Choose twitr.sh when you want the tweets and will decide what to do with them. Maybe you are building a dashboard of your own, or feeding posts into a model or spreadsheet. Maybe you want an AI agent to answer “who drove the conversation around our launch hashtag?” without a sales call first. There is no annual plan and no tweet balance to manage. You pay for each call, see the exact price in the HTTP 402 response before paying, and you aren't charged for an empty result. The same API can also reply to the people using your hashtag, through an account you connect safely.

How do I track an event hashtag with twitr.sh?

A typical three-day event, priced at twitr.sh's list rates:

That comes to about $8 for the whole event. The monitor stops on its own when its prepaid hours end, so nothing keeps billing after the event. Here is what the calls look like:

# look back: the first request returns 402 with the exact price
curl -i -X POST https://twitr.sh/api/tools/x_search \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"q":"#launchweek","queryType":"Latest","resultsLimit":200}'
# -> 402  "amount": "0.240000"  (200 results × $0.001200)

# pay from a USDC wallet and retry
npx agentcash fetch https://twitr.sh/api/tools/x_search -m POST \
  -b '{"q":"#launchweek","queryType":"Latest","resultsLimit":200}'

# go live: a keyword monitor for 72 prepaid hours
npx agentcash fetch https://twitr.sh/api/tools/x_monitor -m POST \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: launchweek-2026' \
  -b '{"action":"create","query":"#launchweek","hours":72}'

Events arrive on a free polling feed or an HMAC-signed webhook. The monitoring guide covers both. Prefer to ask in plain English? Install the skills with npx skills add lnvestor/twitr-skillsand tell Claude “track #launchweek for three days and summarize who drove it.”

What can you build from the raw data?

Once you have the tweets, the report is whatever you decide to compute. A few common ones, and the calls behind them:

None of this needs a dashboard. A spreadsheet, a notebook or an agent with the x-twitter-research skill can do it. You own the method, so you can explain exactly how every number in the report was produced. That is the real difference from a packaged analytics tool. It is more work, but nothing in it is a black box.

What should I know before switching?

twitr.sh does not estimate reach or impressions, and it does not design reports. If your clients expect those numbers, keep a reporting tool. twitr.sh is also not an official X product. The only access X sanctions is its own API, and you can compare costs on X API pricing and Twitter API vs twitr.sh. For other options see X API alternatives, and for every tool and price see /tools or the docs. If a hashtag campaign seems to be underperforming, the free shadowban checker and X algorithm checker can tell you whether the account itself is being held back.
