Know what changed on X, every day
Pick the accounts and the words that matter to you. We check daily and send only what is new.
No account needed to see a price.
A real inbox. Every row is dated and grouped by how strong the evidence is.
What it watches
Social listening on X means watching for what matters to you and being told when it changes. Most tools stop at keywords. twtListen also watches what people do.
Four signals on the same list. Use all four, or one.
Follows
Every new account they follow, with the bio attached. This is the one that finds people before anyone else does.
Followers
The other direction: who starts following them.
Bios
Bio and profile edits. A quiet rename shows up here first.
Posts and keywords
Posts matching your keywords, phrases or hashtags, checked daily.
Daily by default. Three times a week, twice, or weekly, and the price follows whichever you pick.
Every row shows its evidence
Open a row and you get what happened, dated, with each source labelled. Nothing to go and re-check on X.
Who uses it
Same four signals. What the change means is what differs.
Investors and funds
Watch the investors you compete with. Every account they follow arrives with the bio, and anything several of them found separately rises to the top.
See the investor pageSales and business development
Watch a company team. New follows show a supplier being considered or a partner being courted, before anyone announces it.
Recruiting and talent
People follow recruiters and founders in a new field before they move, and rewrite a bio before they announce it.
Brands and agencies
Mentions, phrases and hashtags you care about, checked every day instead of whenever someone remembers to search.
Ecommerce and consumer brands
See who a brand is about to work with, and which creators are quietly being courted, well before a campaign runs.
Journalists, researchers and analysts
New follows surface people worth talking to before anyone quotes them, and bio changes catch people moving jobs.
Crypto and web3 funds
The investor case under a different name, moving faster, so a day of delay costs more.
Politics and public affairs
Who starts following whom is a public signal of where attention is moving, and it moves before any statement does.
The test below is the investor case, the one we have measured. Send a different kind of list and we will tell you what came back.
Eleven investors, three months
Our own test, run before we sold the idea to anyone.
Method
Eleven investor accounts on one list. Once a day we compared who each of them followed with the day before, and looked up every new account. Nothing sampled: the whole list, every day. We picked the accounts and no customer was involved.

What it turned up
Described rather than named.
A founder building an AI coding tool
119,000 followers
A founder building EigenCloud
45,000 followers
A YC founder nobody had written about
2,713 followers
The third is the point. At 119,000 followers you hear about them anyway. At 2,713 you do not.
What this does not show
One test, one use case, three months. It does not tell you what your list would turn up. We keep watched accounts private, so send your own list and we will run the same thing.
What it costs
Pay for what you switch on. No plan, nothing renews by itself.
Follows and followers
$0.60
Per 1,000 accounts, each time we look. Looking once a day is 30 of those in a month.
Watching bios
$1.00
Per account per month. The first 5 accounts are free, and the total is capped at $30.00 however many you watch.
Posts and keywords
$0.0005
Per post that matches. A word nobody is posting about costs nothing.
The more you watch, the less it costs
The price per account drops as you watch more. It is the same scale our one-off downloads use, applied across everything you have running.
| Accounts checked per month | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|
| 100,000 and under | $0.60 |
| 100,000+ | $0.52 |
| 1,000,000+ | $0.45 |
| 10,000,000+ | $0.23 |
| 100,000,000+ | $0.17 |
You top up a balance and watching draws from it. When it runs out we stop watching rather than bill you. Pause anything any time; a paused account is not charged.
What would your list cost?
Put in one account and we will price it right here. Not sure yet? There is an option below the button to just send us the whole list instead.
Send the usernames and an email address. We go through the list ourselves, see what comes back, and reply with what we found. No account and no card.
We never tell anyone who is on your list and we never publish it. The list you build belongs to you.
Questions
Ordinary social listening watches words and mentions to tell you what people are saying. This turns it around: it watches who a particular group of people start following, because an investor following a founder happens earlier and more quietly than anything they post. twtListen does both.
Every day we go through the full list of accounts each watched investor follows, and compare it with the day before. What is new is what they started following that day. We then look up each new account so you get the bio and what they are building, not just a username.
Within a day. Every list is checked daily, so a new follow shows up at the next check after it happens.
No. Everything twtListen reads is public: who an account follows, its bio, its posts. You never hand over credentials.
No. Your list is among the most revealing things a fund owns, so it stays private to the account that created it, and we do not name customers. Every figure on this page comes from a test we did ourselves, with the watched accounts kept back for that reason.
You pay for what you use, from $0.0006 per account per day, taken from a balance you top up. What it costs depends on how many accounts the people on your list follow in total, so send us your list and we will tell you the exact daily figure before anything starts.
Yes. It does not care who is on the list. A rival's team, the speakers at a conference, everyone who used to work at one company, the journalists covering a subject. Anywhere a group of people following someone new means something, this works.
Watch the people who see it first
Send the usernames. We go through the list and reply with what comes back.
