FAQ
How Many Followers Can I Export at Once with X Followers Exporter?
Quick Answer
X Followers Exporter Pro's free tier exports up to 100 followers per scan with all 20+ data fields included. Pro removes the cap completely — export 500, 50,000, or 500,000 followers in a single operation. Throughput is roughly 1,000–2,000 followers per minute (a 10K account exports in 5–10 minutes), running through your normal X browser session without using the X API.
- Free tier: 100 followers per scan, all 20+ data fields included (username, bio, follower count, verified status, join date, etc.).
- Pro tier: unlimited followers in a single scan. Works on accounts up to 500,000+ followers in one combined CSV or JSON file.
- Typical throughput: 1,000–2,000 followers/minute. A 10,000-follower account exports in 5–10 minutes; 100K accounts in roughly 50–100 minutes.
- Runs through the browser, not the X API — so X's $100/month basic API tier and rate-limit constraints do not apply.

Free Tier: 100 Followers Per Scan
With the free tier, each scan captures up to 100 followers with all data fields included. This is not a trial that expires — you can use the free tier indefinitely. The 100-follower cap is per scan, and all fields (username, display name, bio, follower count, following count, verified status, join date) are included in the export. This is enough for small accounts or for evaluating whether the export format meets your needs before upgrading.
Pro Tier: Unlimited Export Capacity
The Pro tier removes the follower cap completely. You can export your entire follower list in a single scan, whether that is 500 followers or 500,000. The export runs in the background while you browse, and the extension handles pagination automatically. For very large accounts, the export runs in batches internally but produces a single combined output file.
- No follower cap — Export 100, 10,000, or 500,000+ followers in one operation
- All data fields included — Same comprehensive data as the free tier, just without the quantity limit
- Background processing — The extension works while you use other tabs
- Single output file — Even large exports produce one combined CSV or JSON file
Export Speed: What to Expect
Export speed depends on the size of the account being scanned. X Followers Exporter Pro processes followers through the X browser interface, so it respects X's page load speeds. As a general guideline, expect roughly 1,000-2,000 followers per minute under normal conditions. A 10,000-follower account typically exports in 5-10 minutes. A 100,000-follower account may take 50-100 minutes. The extension shows real-time progress so you always know how far along the scan is. See large account handling for tips on optimizing exports for accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers.
