What Are the Differences Between X Followers Exporter Free and Pro?

Quick Answer

X Followers Exporter Pro's free tier exports up to 100 followers per run (3 exports per week) in CSV with core fields. Pro removes both caps, unlocks all 20+ metadata fields, adds JSON output, and lets you export following lists in addition to followers. Pricing: $6.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime — all with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

  • Free tier: up to 100 followers per export, 3 exports per week, CSV only, with core fields (username, display name, bio, follower/following counts, profile URL).
  • Pro removes both caps, unlocks all 20+ metadata fields (user ID, verification type, account creation date, listed count, image URLs), adds JSON output, and lets you export following lists.
  • Pricing: $6.99/month, $29.99/year (saves 64%), or $49.99 lifetime — break-even point against monthly is ~8 months.
  • Server-based competitors charge $59+/month and cap at 70 followers per run (PhantomBuster). X Followers Exporter Pro lifetime costs less than one month of those tools.

Pricing Plans

X Followers Exporter Pro offers three Pro pricing options, all with the same feature set. The only difference is the billing cycle. Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
  • Monthly — $6.99/month — Best for one-time research projects or evaluating Pro features. Cancel anytime.
  • Yearly — $29.99/year — Saves 64% compared to monthly ($2.50/month effective). Renews annually.
  • Lifetime — $49.99 one-time — Pay once, use forever. No renewals. This is the most popular option.

Which Plan Is Right for You?

The best plan depends on how you use the tool. Here is a quick decision framework.
  • Stay on Free if you only need occasional small exports (under 100 followers) and CSV format is sufficient for your needs
  • Go Monthly if you have a one-time research project — buy one month, export what you need, then cancel
  • Go Yearly if you do regular audience research, competitive analysis, or lead generation and need ongoing access at the best recurring price
  • Go Lifetime if you want the best long-term value — it pays for itself in 8 months compared to monthly, and you never pay again

Can I Upgrade or Downgrade Later?

Yes. You can start with the free tier and upgrade to Pro at any time. If you are on a monthly plan, you can switch to yearly or lifetime whenever you want. All upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. If you are on yearly and want to switch to lifetime, the remaining balance on your yearly plan is credited toward the lifetime purchase. Every paid plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee — if the product does not work as described, contact support and we will troubleshoot first; if we cannot resolve it, you get a full refund.
