Free access limits
Metered Free tools allow five calls per endpoint per user per hour, resetting at the top of each hour. API keys and MCP clients share that allowance. Company and trend-topic discovery lists are not metered. Paid access bypasses this Free quota.
Free X post searches and analytics use a rolling 14-day window. Free YouTube metrics include up to the three latest stored calendar months and fewer fields; Paid access provides older history and additional detail where supported.
Tool access follows the account connected through OAuth or an API key. To compare plans or upgrade, visit your account.
