Cover image: Subscription or pay per result?

Weir is a Data365 alternative for X (Twitter) and Reddit data that bills per result, with no monthly subscription.

Data365 covers seven social networks on monthly plans that start at €300. We run Weir, so every Data365 fact here comes from data365.co, checked on 22 October 2026.

A Data365 Twitter search is a task you start, wait on and then fetch. On Weir it is one call:

curl https://api.weirapp.io/v1/x/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEIR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "yourbrand", "limit": 20}'

  • An AI agent will read the data: choose Weir. Its X MCP server works in Claude and ChatGPT.

Data365 pricing: what each plan costs in October 2026

Data365 sells three monthly subscriptions, priced in euros.

Data365 pricing page: Basic €300 and Standard €850 a month, Custom quoted, with credit costs per post, search and profile
Data365's pricing page, 22 October 2026
€300Basic, a month: 1 network, 500,000 credits
€850Standard, a month: 3 networks, 1,000,000 credits
Customup to 7 networks and 100,000,000 credits

Here is the billing basis for each price, from Data365's pricing page and FAQ:

  • Basic and Standard are monthly subscriptions. The FAQ says the plan "is billed monthly", by card or wire transfer.
  • Custom is quoted. You talk to sales about networks and volume.
  • Credits come with the plan. The page doesn't say whether unused credits roll over, or what happens past the limit.
  • Only POST requests spend credits. Data365's intro page says the GET calls that check and fetch a task are free.
  • The free trial lasts 14 days, with no card. It starts after a form and an intro call, and the intro page caps it at 500,000 credits.

Each kind of data has its own credit price:

Data365 credits per item, October 2026
1 profile with info9 credits
1 search request7 credits
1 post with comments5 credits
1 post1 credit

A search request costs 7 credits, then each post it finds costs 1 more. Data365's own example: 100 posts with comments cost 7 + 100 × 5 = 507 credits.

The full credit table lives in Data365's API docs. The FAQ says those open "after you have an introductory call with our team."

What 90,000 X posts a month cost on each

Take a brand-tracking job: 10 keywords on X, each searched 3 times a day, with 100 posts per search. Over 30 days, that's 900 searches and 90,000 posts.

On Data365 Basic:

  • Searches: 900 × 7 = 6,300 credits.
  • Posts: 90,000 × 1 = 90,000 credits.
  • Total: 96,300 credits, well inside Basic's 500,000.
  • Price: €300, about $337 at the ECB's 21 October rate.

On Weir:

  • Calls: X serves about 20 posts per search page, so 90,000 posts take 4,500 calls.
  • Credits: 4,500 + 90,000 = 94,500. Less 5,000 free, you buy 89,500.
  • Price: $14.92 at the $20 pack's rate.

You'd buy one $20 pack of 120,000 credits. About 30,500 carry over, since packs never expire.

Now push Basic to its limit. 4,600 searches of 100 posts use 492,200 Data365 credits, still €300.

The same 460,000 posts on Weir take 23,000 calls, or 483,000 credits. Less the free 5,000, that's $59.75 at the $200 pack's rate.

X posts a month, October 2026 prices
Data365 Basic, 460,000 posts€300 (about $337)
Data365 Basic, 90,000 posts€300 (about $337)
Weir, 460,000 posts$59.75
Weir, 90,000 posts$14.92

Basic covers one network. A second one means Standard, at €850 a month.

How the Data365 Twitter API works: start, wait, fetch

Data365 runs each request as a task. Its intro page lays out three calls:

  1. POST to start a taskFor example /twitter/profile/{username}/update. This call spends credits.
  2. GET the same pathRepeat until the status reads "finished", 1 to 5 minutes on average.
  3. GET the resultsThe data comes back as JSON, and this call is free.

The same page lists auto-updating tasks and a callback when a task finishes. Traffic is capped at 100 requests a second.

Weir answers in the call you make. We ran a search of @XDevelopers' own posts on 22 October 2026, leaving out reposts and replies. It returned 3 posts for 4 credits; the newest, trimmed:

{
  "id": "2111172163776708859",
  "text": "New guide to the 𝕏 Chat API from @santiagomed: ...",
  "createdAt": "2026-10-16T19:07:22.000Z",
  "author": { "username": "XDevelopers", "followersCount": 697852 },
  "likeCount": 120,
  "retweetCount": 18,
  "viewCount": 15052
}

For alerts, Weir has monitors that post only new results to a signed webhook. They run daily on the free tier and hourly on paid tiers.
