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 an exact count and real sample posts, and nothing is removed until you explicitly confirm. Here is how they actually differ.
Based on each product's publicly available documentation and pricing pages as of July 2026. TweetDelete's features and pricing can change - always check their site for current details.
Feature
DeleteX
TweetDelete
Preview before deletion
Exact match count plus up to 20 sample posts before every run; nothing deletes without explicit confirmation.

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.

DM deletion is not an advertised feature as of this writing.
Archive upload (past the 3,200-post API window)
Upload your X archive (included with any credit pack); IDs are parsed in your browser and run through the normal preview flow.
Premium file upload supports deleting older tweets from your archive.
Scheduled auto-delete
DeleteX Plus ($5.99/mo): recurring rules like "delete posts older than 60 days" with email summaries and 200 credits/month.

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 an exact match count and sample posts before every confirmed run. TweetDelete is a solid, long-established tool; the main workflow difference is DeleteX's preview-first confirmation step, DM cleanup, and pay-per-deletion credit packs instead of a subscription.
Which is cheaper, DeleteX or TweetDelete?+
They price differently. TweetDelete sells subscriptions with features split across tiers; DeleteX Plus is $5.99/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. DM deletion is not an advertised TweetDelete feature as of this writing.
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 with an exact count and an explicit confirmation before any run starts.
