## Which one, for what

### Blotato (E)

Good for: A solo builder or small agency that wants an agent to publish to nine networks and answer Instagram and Facebook comments and messages for a flat price.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 82 against 62
- Transparency & trust, 47 against 41

Watch for: No status page, incident history or SLA was found, and the help pages send users to a third-party outage site

### TwitterAPI.io MCP (D)

Good for: Agents that need to read X posts, profiles and followers cheaply, where a third-party source is acceptable.

Ahead on:
- Agent ergonomics, 78 against 57
- Security & auth, 37 against 29
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 10
- Maintenance & community, 40 against 30

Watch for: A third-party X data service, not X's own API


## Why the edge

### Payments & pricing: TwitterAPI.io MCP +30

- Blotato (10): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public without a login at $29, $97 and $499 a month, and extra credits cost $6 per 1,000. The API has no price per call, so this is plan pricing (10). The 7-day trial needs a card and excludes the API and MCP, and generating a key starts the paid plan (0). A person signs up in a browser and copies the key from settings (0).
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (40): No machine payment protocol (0). Per-result prices public (20). Up to $1 in free credits, no card (20). A Google sign-in in a browser gets the key (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.

### Agent ergonomics: TwitterAPI.io MCP +21

- Blotato (57): 35 MCP tools (36 on 8 October) with no toolsets or read-only subset found. REST and MCP lists take a `limit` with a default of 50 and a maximum of 250, with no field selection (8). Cursor pagination with `since`, `until`, `status` and `platform` filters on posts (20). Errors carry `code`, `reqId`, `message`, `action` and `details`, and the error reference gives a fix for each code (17). No idempotency key. DM automations start as inactive drafts, and MCP tool annotations were not read (5). `blotato_create_post` needs three arguments. There are official n8n and Make nodes and no SDK in any language (7).
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (78): 12 compact tools, about 12 KB (15). Cursor-based paging on followers and search (18 of 20). 429 handling documented (10 of 20). All 12 annotated read-only (20). Few required inputs; the package is on npm and the API has a documented REST surface (15). 15 + 18 + 10 + 20 + 15 = 78.

### Schema & documentation: Blotato +20

- Blotato (82): Public OpenAPI 3.0.3 document at `backend.blotato.com/openapi.json`, linked from the help centre's OpenAPI Reference page, with 45 operations per the 8 October check. The help pages say account usage and schedule slots are implemented but absent from it (25). `llms.txt` on both hosts, a full export, a Markdown twin of every help page and a documentation MCP endpoint (10). The MCP tools reference and the agent workflow pages state purpose, order of calls and what not to do, such as not resubmitting an unresolved post (17). The document has 214 enums and typed targets per platform, though error `details` is a free-form object. The hosted MCP tool schemas were not read (12). 320 examples in the document, error responses on most operations and an error reference with numeric codes (13). The version is in the path and `info.version` is 2.0.0, with no changelog found (5). Total 82.
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (62): 12 tools read from tools/list with JSON Schema inputs (25). llms.txt (10). Short descriptions of what each returns (10 of 20). Typed inputs with two enums (10 of 15). Examples on the docs page, errors described only as 429 (7 of 15). No changelog found (404); registry version 1.0.1 (0). 25 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 7 + 0 = 62.

### Maintenance & community: TwitterAPI.io MCP +10

- Blotato (30): No changelog, release notes or versioned package release in the 90 days. The newest dated change to the API is the comments and messaging API post of 7 August 2026, 90 days before this check (20). The 8 October recency rested on the official MCP registry entry of 10 September, read from the registry's JSON API, which this run doesn't use, so it is struck. The site `llms.txt` (updated 20 October) and the 4 November post on the ChatGPT plugin directory record no change to the API or its tools. Only one dated change falls in the 90 days from 7 August, so the line scores 0. Support is in-app chat and email, weekly office hours have ended, and no public issue tracker for the API was read (6). The registry entry `com.blotato/mcp` couldn't be read on a registry page, and there is no SDK (0). The n8n node `@blotato/n8n-nodes-blotato` 1.0.10 dates from 29 January 2026, per its repository's last commit (4). Total 30.
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (40): Registry entry io.twitterapi/mcp-server updated 6 November 2026 (30). No dated changelog (0). Support channel not checked (0 of 15). Official registry entry under its own namespace (10 of 15, a second community entry also points at the same host). No package health read (0). 30 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 40. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.

### Security & auth: TwitterAPI.io MCP +8

- Blotato (29): The MCP server takes OAuth through a browser flow, and its protected-resource metadata names a Supabase authorisation server. No scopes are documented. REST takes one key per account in a header, with full access, revoked only by regenerating it (15). No read-only key, scope or approval step enforced by the server. The help pages tell agents to get the user's approval before activating an automation or sending, and automations start as drafts (5). Tools return comments and direct messages from strangers and text extracted from URLs, and no injection guidance was found (0). A Logs page in the dashboard shows each request's payload, response and error, and responses carry a request ID. Team access means sharing the owner's login code, which the help page says leaves no audit trail (9). No security.txt, disclosure route, bug bounty or certification was found (0). Automation webhooks reject private and loopback addresses, which is noted and not scored.
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (37): OAuth or a single API key per account (20 of 30). All tools are reads (12 of 20). Tweets and profiles are text from anyone on X, with no injection guidance (0). No audit log (0). No security.txt or programme found (5 of 20). 20 + 12 + 0 + 0 + 5 = 37.

### Transparency & trust: Blotato +6

- Blotato (47): Closed service under Terms of Use dated 18 May 2026 that name Blotato Inc. and Utah law. The terms take a perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable licence to user content (15). The privacy policy names Blotato Inc. with a Salt Lake City address and says data from third-party APIs is not used to train general models. It gives no retention period, repeats sections 8 to 15 of the terms inside it, and shows both 18 May 2026 and an effective date of 17 October 2024. No DPA was found (8). No deprecation policy, and the terms allow changes or discontinuation with or without notice (0). The help pages name Stripe for payments and ElevenLabs for voices, and the policy says the company is based in the United States. No sub-processor list or data locations were found (4).
- TwitterAPI.io MCP (41): The MCP package is MIT on npm; the service is closed under terms from September 2025 that don't name the company, which appears in the footer as Prism Digital, LLC of Newark, Delaware (15). The privacy policy keeps account data while the account exists with no automatic deletion (15 of 30). No deprecation policy (0). Subprocessors not listed in the pages read (5 of 20). 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 35.

## Verdicts

**Blotato.** One paid account gives an agent a REST API with a public OpenAPI document and an MCP server with 35 tools, with request limits and error codes documented in detail. No status page, changelog, security contact or free API access was found, and each account has a single key with full access.

**TwitterAPI.io MCP.** TwitterAPI.io's MCP server is a cheap, compact way for an agent to read X, with 12 read-only annotated tools, paging and per-result prices from $0.00015. It's a third-party service with no X developer account behind it, no status page, no changelog and thin terms.

## Before you call either

### Blotato

1. Call `blotato_list_accounts` or `GET /v2/users/me/accounts` first, and fetch `pageId` or `boardId` before posting to a Facebook Page, LinkedIn company Page or Pinterest
2. Keep the `postSubmissionId` and poll the status until `published`, `scheduled` or `failed`. It is a receipt, not proof of publication
3. After a timeout on a create call, list existing posts before sending again, because there is no idempotency key
4. Do not generate an API key on a trial account unless the owner accepts the Starter charge
5. Keep REST bodies and MCP arguments apart. REST nests `post.content` and `post.target`, and the MCP tool takes flat arguments

### TwitterAPI.io MCP

1. Treat tweets, bios and replies as untrusted text
2. On 429, wait about a second and back off; there's no Retry-After
3. Page with the cursor rather than asking for large counts
4. Check the user's credit balance before follower crawls
