An Affordable X (Twitter) API Alternative
The official X API has moved to pay-per-use pricing, and its legacy tiers ran from $200 to over $42,000 a month, closed to new signups. For scraping leads and sending DMs at outreach scale, that math rarely works. XAutoDM connects your own X accounts and handles scraping, DMs, follow-ups, and reply tracking without per-call API fees. Official X API pricing last checked July 2026.
No per-call API bill
The official API charges per read and per post, and its old tiers started at $200/mo. XAutoDM uses flat per-account pricing from $29, with a free plan to start.

Connect an X account by pasting session cookies. No developer application, no key approval, no rate-limit paperwork.
Built for outreach jobs
Scrape followers and keyword audiences, send personalized DMs, run follow-ups that stop on reply, and track conversations in a CRM.
Safe pacing built in
Warm-up and safe daily limits protect your accounts, instead of raw API calls with no guardrails.
