How the Hashtag Counter Works
Enter a hashtag.
Up to three to compare.
We read the latest posts.
The counter takes the most recent posts that use the tag, up to 60, and measures how much time they span.
You get the pace.
Posts per hour, and an hourly chart for the window those posts cover.
Why Posts per Hour, Not a Total
X doesn’t publish how many times a hashtag has ever been used, and no public tool can see every post. Any site that shows "1.2M tweets" for a tag is estimating, or showing a number from another source. Pace is different: it is measured directly from real posts, and it is what matters during a live campaign or event. Is the tag speeding up or slowing down, and how does it compare with another one?
Measure, Don’t Spam
This counter measures how a hashtag is being used. It does not help post, and it isn’t a tool to push a tag into trends. X treats coordinated mass posting and repetitive posts as platform manipulation, which can get accounts limited. Post naturally, and use the counter to see how the conversation grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tweets does a hashtag have?
X doesn’t publish all-time totals for hashtags. The counter shows how many posts a tag gets per hour right now, measured from its latest posts.
How often can I refresh the count?
Each refresh is a new check, and you get 5 free checks a day. A refresh every few minutes is enough to see a trend.
Can I compare hashtags?
Yes. Add up to three hashtags to compare their posts per hour side by side.
Is the hashtag counter free?
Yes. You get 5 free counts a day, which reset at 00:00 UTC, with no login.
Where can I see more than the count?
The Hashtag Analytics report shows who is posting, the top posts, languages and related hashtags for the same tag.
