xAI Switches X Search API to Per-Result Pricing from September 21
XFreeze · x · 2026-09-11
xAI is changing 𝕏 Search API pricing starting September 21, moving from per-call to per-result billing:
- Current: $5 per 1,000 X Search tool calls
- From Sep 21: $5 per 1,000 posts fetched; $10 per 1,000 user profiles fetched
The change aligns X Search with the 𝕏 API pay-as-you-go model; pricing for all other xAI models and tools stays unchanged. Agents with many calls but few useful results will need to re-run the math.
