## What to test in Xquik

For audience-intelligence comparisons, list the X records your system needs. Test each one: search tweets, export followers, read verified followers, monitor keywords, post, and send webhooks. Choose Xquik when you need those records more than audience reports.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Tweets, followers & exports" icon="download">
    23 extraction tools cover tweets, replies, quotes, reposts, likes, followers, following, verified followers, communities, lists, Spaces, articles, and search. Export results to CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, or API responses.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Automation & writes" icon="workflow">
    18 X write actions cover tweets, media uploads, likes, retweets, follows, DMs, profile updates, and community actions from connected accounts.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Monitoring & delivery" icon="bell">
    Account and keyword monitors check active streams every 1 second. Store events, poll them, or deliver them through signed webhooks.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Developer tools" icon="code-xml">
    Choose REST, an SDK, MCP, or pay-per-use reads. Credit records show each request's cost.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## What to verify in a trial

<Steps>
  <Step title="Run the real task">
    Use a real task: search a keyword, export followers, upload media, send a DM, monitor an account, or deliver a webhook. Compare outputs, not feature labels.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Inspect the output">
    Confirm ownership, approvals, audit needs, seat requirements, export format, and API behavior. Decide whether the task needs a broad suite or only tweet search, profile lookup, follower exports, reply scraping, and account actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the next integration">
    Decide where the result goes next: CSV, JSON, webhook, SDK call, MCP tool, dashboard review, or another API.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Migration path

Move 1 X-only task first, not the entire social stack. Run it beside the existing suite and confirm reporting and compliance needs before broad rollout.

Keep the test small: one task, one output, one cost model, and one owner for the output. Switch only when the Xquik output matches the required records and reduces integration work or cost.

Check Audiense public pricing or sales terms against Xquik plan needs.

Price the real workload. On Xquik, Starter is USD 20/month with 140,000 credits. Top-ups are USD 0.00015/credit, webhook and stored-event management are free, and active monitors bill only while enabled.
