How it works
- 01
X lists a write price per request. A plain post costs $0.015. A post that includes a URL costs $0.200, more than thirteen times as much, so the share of posts with links decides most of the bill.
- 02
Prices are as X published them on the date below and can change. The calculator covers post creation only.
- 03
Copy a link to the result, or open it in the composer with 1Post and schedule it to every network.
It runs in your browser. Nothing you type or choose is uploaded, and the page works without an account. To publish what you made, start a trial and open it in the composer.
Questions
Why does a link cost so much more?
X prices a post with a URL at $0.200 and a plain post at $0.015. The tool shows the split so you can see what links add.
Does it include reading or deleting posts?
No. Only creating posts. X lists other actions at their own prices on its pricing page.
Are there posting limits too?
Yes. X limits creating posts per app and per user in a time window, shown on X's rate limit page. 1Post also keeps its own daily cap per connected account.
