twtData vs FollowerAudit: which fake follower audit fits you
Both check the followers of an X (Twitter) account for fake and bot accounts. FollowerAudit is a monthly subscription with a free plan and needs you to sign in with X. twtData charges once per audit, needs no X account, and gives you the follower list as a CSV. Which one costs less depends on the account's size and how often you audit.

Pick twtData if
- you need one audit now, without a subscription or connecting an X account;
