One flat request rate on every endpoint and every plan, up to 50x cheaper than the official X API on reads.
100 free requests · No credit card · Never expire
Every plan includes all 40 endpoints and the same 20 req/sec rate limit. You only choose how many monthly requests you need.
Cancel anytime. Pay by card or crypto. Run past your quota? Pay-as-you-go extra requests at your plan’s rate.

The same volume runs about $1,000,000 a month on the official X API. A custom Sorsa plan is a small fraction of that, with a lower per-request price, a higher dedicated rate limit beyond 20 per second, and a dedicated account manager.
Talk to salesOne API call is one request, on every endpoint and every plan. No credit multipliers, no per-endpoint tiers. Here is why it stays cheap as you scale.
You pay your plan price. Extra requests past your quota are opt-in and prepaid, with an optional spending limit, so there is no metered billing that spikes with your traffic, no credit math, and no surprise charge at the end of the month.
Look up to 100 profiles or 100 tweets in a single call. One request, up to 100 complete records.
One of the highest per-request yields available, so even large audiences cost very little.
On the Pro plan ($199 for 100,000 requests), here is the effective cost once you use the right endpoint.
| Data type | Best endpoint | Cost per item (Pro) |
|---|---|---|
| Tweets (search, timeline, mentions) | search-tweets, user-tweets, mentions | ~$0.0001 / tweet |
| Tweets (bulk by ID) | tweet-info-bulk | ~$0.00002 / tweet |
| User profiles (follower lists) | followers, follows | ~$0.00001 / profile |
| User profiles (batch lookup) | info-batch | ~$0.00002 / profile |
| Verification checks | check-follow, check-retweet, check-comment | $0.002 / check |
The official X API bills per resource: every post, profile, and follower in a response is a separate charge, and there is a 3,000,000 post-read cap. Sorsa bills per request, with the author profile included.
| Feature | Sorsa API | Official X API |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per request (flat) | Per resource fetched |
| Cost: 1,000 tweet reads | From $0.02 | $5.00 |
| Cost: 1,000 user profiles | From $0.01 | $10.00 |
| Free to start | 100 free requests | No free tier; one-time $20 credit for adding a card |
| Author profile in a tweet | Included free | Billed as a separate user read |
| Monthly cap | None (plan quota, then pay-as-you-go) | 3,000,000 post reads |
| Batch endpoints | Up to 100 tweets or 200 profiles per request | Limited |
| Authentication | Single API key header | OAuth 2.0 with Bearer token |
| Setup | About 3 minutes, no approval | Days, approval required |

High-volume plans cover 1 million to 10 million requests a month. Teams pulling more than that run on custom plans, with lower per-request pricing, higher dedicated rate limits beyond 20 requests per second, and a direct line to our team. If you are scaling past 10 million requests, we build the plan around your volume.
The more you commit, the less each request costs.
Lifted above the standard 20 requests per second.

Onboarding and setup built around your pipeline.
Powering trading desks, AI labs, and agencies in production since 2022.
Sorsa uses flat per-request pricing. One API call counts as one request from your monthly quota, on every endpoint and every plan. There are no credit multipliers, no per-endpoint tiers, and no separate charge for the author profile returned inside a tweet. You pick a plan by monthly request volume, and the price is the same whether you call search, a follower list, or a verification check.
Yes. Every new account gets 100 free requests: enough for up to 10,000 tweets or 20,000 profiles across all 40 endpoints. No credit card is required, and the free requests never expire. You can also test every endpoint without signing up in the Sorsa Playground: run real requests in the browser, confirm the data shape fits, then start free and upgrade when you need volume. Plans start at $49 per month for 10,000 requests.
On the Pro plan, 1,000 tweets cost about $0.10 through search or timeline endpoints, and roughly $0.02 through the bulk lookup endpoint, with the author profile included in every result. The official X API charges $5.00 for the same 1,000 post reads, plus another $10.00 if you expand the author profiles.
The official X (Twitter) API is not free. X removed free API access in 2023 and now runs a pay-per-use model with no free tier: you prepay credits for every call. Since October 2026, X adds a one-time starter credit ($20 for saving a card, plus a match of up to $50 on your first auto-recharge) that expires after three months. Sorsa is different: every new account starts with 100 free requests, enough for up to 10,000 tweets or 20,000 profiles across all 40 endpoints, with no credit card and no expiry. After that, plans start at $49 per month for 10,000 requests.
Any single endpoint call is one request, no matter how much it returns. A search page of about 20 tweets is one request. A batch lookup of 100 tweets is one request. A follower page of up to 200 profiles is one request. A verification check is one request. That is what makes read-heavy work inexpensive on Sorsa.
Yes. Every plan, from Starter to Enterprise, runs a flat 20 requests per second. We do not throttle speed on lower tiers, and all 40 endpoints are included on every plan. The plans differ only in monthly request volume and a few support and analytics features. High-volume plans, from Platform up, can get higher rate limits on request.
High-volume plans cover 1M to 10M requests a month, from $1,699/mo, with rates down to $140 per 100K requests and higher rate limits on request; Business and larger plans add a dedicated account manager. For anything beyond that, or custom terms, get in touch through Talk to Sales.
Sorsa bills per request at a flat rate, while the official X API bills per resource, so every post, profile, and follower in a response is a separate charge, and there is a 3,000,000 post-read cap. For read-heavy work such as search, monitoring, and follower analysis, Sorsa comes out up to 50x cheaper, with a single API key instead of OAuth and no approval queue.
Yes. Every yearly plan comes with 2 months free: Pro, for example, is $1,990 a year instead of $2,388. You can change plans at any time from your dashboard.
With extra requests turned on, nothing stops: calls keep running pay-as-you-go from your prepaid balance at your plan’s per-request rate, up to the monthly spending limit you set. With them off, the API stops returning data until your quota refreshes or you move up to a larger plan. Upgrades take effect immediately with a fresh full quota, so you keep going without waiting for your billing cycle to reset, and you can make them at any point mid-cycle from your dashboard.
Yes, on top of any plan. Turn on extra requests in your dashboard and add funds to a prepaid balance by card or crypto. Nothing is spent while your plan’s monthly requests last; once they run out, calls keep working and each extra request is billed at your plan’s rate: $4.90 per 1,000 requests on Starter, $2.00 on Pro, $1.90 on Growth, $1.80 on Enterprise, and down to $1.40 on Hyperscale. You can cap extra-request spend with a monthly limit or leave it unlimited.
No. Requests that return an error are not deducted from your quota. Only successful responses count, and each successful call is one request regardless of how much data it returns.
You can pay by card or with crypto. Card plans renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time from your dashboard; your plan stays active through the end of the period you have already paid for. Crypto payments are one-time, so there is nothing to cancel: you simply pay again whenever you want to keep going. You can upgrade or downgrade between plans as your volume changes.
