Choose how often we check your X posts

X now charges for every statistics check: each time we read the numbers of a post, and each time we count the followers of an account. Until now, we paid this for you. From 12 November 2026, X statistics use credits, at X's own price with no markup. Posting to X does not change (a post without a link stays free), and the other 12 networks do not change.

For each X account you choose:

• Check each post - 5 checks (as before), 2 checks or Off. One check of a post costs half a credit, 1 credit for a post with a video or GIF.
• Count followers - Daily (as before), Weekly or Off. One count costs 1 credit.

Open Billing, then Credits, and click X statistics. Each X account shows what it will cost a month, from its last 30 days. Until you change something, every X account stays on 5 checks and Daily.

Every organisation that uses X now has credits for about 3 months of its own use. Where the balance was lower, we added free credits.

New

• Update now - on a published X post, get fresh numbers whenever you want, for half a credit. It is free when we already checked the post that day.
• When you connect X - we ask how often to check the posts of the new account, and the onboarding shows the same choice.
• If your credits run out - we email you first. At zero, your posts still go out, we stop checking X statistics, and the numbers you already have stay visible. When you add credits, we start again.
• API - PATCH /v1/accounts/{id} sets the X statistics of an account, POST /v1/analytics/posts/{id}/refresh is Update now, and GET /v1/credits shows the balance and the X statistics of the month. Two new webhook events: x_statistics.paused and x_statistics.resumed.
• MCP - two new tools, update_post_analytics and set_x_statistics, on the hosted server and in the npm package 1.57.0.
