Networks

On this page

The prices, limits, gates and link-check methods Stump reads as data. Clauses in CONTRACT.md state outcomes against this table; this file holds the values and when they were read. The company can update its own copy of the price table in the app. Every value is re-read from the network's own page before each release (Field proof register R-28), and the read date below changes with it.

Prices

Network Act Price (USD) Source Read
X (pay-per-use) Post without a URL 0.015 https://docs.x.com/x-api/getting-started/pricing 30 Oct 2026
X (pay-per-use) Post with a URL 0.20 same 30 Oct 2026
X (pay-per-use) Post read (search, mentions) 0.005 same 30 Oct 2026
X (pay-per-use) Owned read (the account's own posts and their metrics) 0.001 same 30 Oct 2026
X (pay-per-use) Monthly read cap 3,000,000 reads same 30 Oct 2026

X's pricing page carries no date and also advertises new-user credits; prices can change without notice, so Stump never hard-codes them.
