One flat request rate on every endpoint and every plan, up to 50x cheaper than the official X API on reads.
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.
Enter the data you need each month. We show the Sorsa plan that covers it and what the same volume would cost on the official X API.
Need more than 500K requests a month? Custom plans go higher with lower per-request rates. Talk to sales
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, period. 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 | $0.00199 / check |
The official X API bills per resource: every post, profile, and follower in a response is a separate charge, and there is a 2,000,000 post-read cap. Sorsa bills per request, with the author profile included.
| Feature | Sorsa API | Official X API |

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.
There is no free trial of the paid API, but you can test every endpoint for free in the Sorsa Playground with no API key and no signup. Run real requests in the browser, confirm the data shape fits your use case, then choose a plan. 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.
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.
Custom plans are available above 500,000 requests, with dedicated rate limits, volume discounts, and a dedicated account manager. Get in touch through Talk to Sales to set one up.
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 2,000,000 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. Switching from monthly to annual billing saves 16 percent on any plan. You can change plans at any time from your dashboard.
When you use up your requests, the API stops returning data until you top up. You can buy another request package or move up to a larger plan, and the new quota takes effect immediately, so you keep going without waiting for your billing cycle to reset. Upgrades can be made at any point mid-cycle from your dashboard.
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.
