Comparison

DeleteX vs TweetDelete: an honest comparison

TweetDelete is one of the oldest and best-known tweet deleters, and for many people it works fine. DeleteX takes a different approach to the same problem: every deletion starts with a preview and real sample posts, and nothing is removed until you explicitly confirm. Here is how they actually differ.

Feature-by-feature

Based on each product's publicly available documentation and pricing pages reviewed on September 7, 2026. TweetDelete's features and pricing can change - always check their site for current details.

Preview before deletion
Trial scans inspect up to 25 items, including filtered-out items. Counts cover the scanned items, not your whole account. Paid previews show a matched count and up to 20 samples. Nothing is deleted until you explicitly confirm.
Filter-based runs; no full sample-and-exact-count confirmation step is advertised.
Posts, replies & reposts
Separate workflows for posts, replies, and reposts, each with its own preview.
Supports deleting tweets, replies, and retweets.
Bulk unlike
Bulk unlike with date and keyword filters; each unlike uses one deletion credit.
Advertises like removal. Its FAQ describes a free likes service alongside paid tiers; verify the current limits for your account.
DM cleanup
Wipe your side of DM history through the same preview-and-confirm flow.
Advertises direct-message deletion on its official homepage. Check its current workflow and plan limits before connecting.

Scheduled auto-delete
DeleteX Plus ($4.99/mo): recurring rules like "delete posts older than 60 days" with email summaries and 200 credits/month.

Keyword & hashtag filters
Keyword and hashtag filters, combinable with date ranges — included with any purchase.
Keyword-based deletion is supported.
Activity log with CSV export
Every confirmed run is logged with filters and deleted/failed counts, exportable to CSV.

Official X.com partner

FAQ

DeleteX vs TweetDelete questions

Is DeleteX a good TweetDelete alternative?+

If you want to see exactly what will be deleted before it happens, yes - DeleteX shows matching items before every confirmed run. Trial scans inspect up to 25 items including filtered-out items; counts are not account-wide totals. TweetDelete is a solid, long-established tool; compare DeleteX's preview-first confirmation step and optional one-time credit packs with TweetDelete's current plans and workflows.

Which is cheaper, DeleteX or TweetDelete?+

They price differently. TweetDelete sells subscriptions with features split across tiers; DeleteX Plus is $4.99/month with 200 deletions monthly and every feature included, with one-time credit packs (from $9.99) for bigger jobs. For a single cleanup, a one-time pack means no subscription to remember to cancel.

Can either tool delete direct messages?+

DeleteX can delete your side of DM conversations through the same preview-and-confirm workflow. TweetDelete also advertises direct-message deletion on its official homepage; confirm its current scope and plan limits before relying on it.

Do both tools work past the 3,200-tweet API limit?+

Yes. Both support uploading your X archive so tweets older than the recent API window become deletable. On DeleteX archive upload comes with any credit pack, and archive parsing happens in your browser.

Is deletion permanent with both tools?+

Yes. Both use X's official API, so deletion is as permanent as deleting on X itself. That is exactly why DeleteX requires a preview and an explicit confirmation before any run starts.

Try the preview-first workflow

Connect with X, choose a plan, then preview the matches before you confirm.
