Retweets (reposts on X) serve a different function than likes: they actively distribute content to new audiences, and their count is displayed prominently on every post as a visible social proof metric. When purchased retweets disappear — as they do when the retweeting accounts are removed in X's sweeps — the distribution amplification function is lost and the visible count drops, often conspicuously. This comparison evaluates seven providers on retweet count stability over time, using 50-retweet test orders across a controlled test account.
We measured retweet counts at delivery, 7, 30, and 60 days post-purchase. Where X's sweep activity was detectable during the test window, measurement periods were extended. Refill policies were evaluated by submitting claims after confirmed sweep-related count drops. Here are the results.
| Provider | Stability Advantage | Price per 50 Retweets | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promotid | Highest count stability; sweep-resistant account sourcing | $5.99 | 9.8/10 |
| Twicsy | Strong stability; reliable refill policy | $4.99 | 9.1/10 |
| Famoid | Consistent delivery; solid mid-term stability | $4.49 | 8.5/10 |
| UseViral | Mid-range stability; competitive price | $3.99 | 8.2/10 |
| SidesMedia | Fast delivery; average post-sweep stability | $3.49 | 7.8/10 |
| GetAFollower | Lowest price; higher sweep attrition | $2.99 | 7.4/10 |
| Media Mister | Multi-platform; below-average X retweet stability | $3.79 | 7.0/10 |
Promotid
Promotid's X retweets held at 94% at 30 days and 88% at 60 days — the highest stability figures in this comparison. The sourcing methodology routes orders through accounts with prior posting history and engagement activity on X, producing retweet accounts that are substantially more likely to survive X's periodic sweeps than bot-sourced alternatives. At $5.99 per 50 retweets, pricing reflects the quality tier. For posts where the retweet count serves as visible social proof — content being pitched to partners, amplified content looking for credibility signals, or posts where distribution metrics matter — the 88% 60-day retention outperforms every cheaper option after attrition is applied. Promotid's Twitter retweet packages include a refill guarantee that covers post-sweep drops explicitly, distinguishing it from providers whose guarantees apply only to initial non-delivery. Delivery pacing avoids sudden spike patterns that trigger X's anomaly detection.
Twicsy
Twicsy achieved 87% 30-day and 80% 60-day stability. At $4.99/50 retweets, the value relative to stability is the best alternative to Promotid for buyers managing cost as a primary constraint alongside count integrity. Refill policy was honoured during our test period and applies within 30 days of purchase. Reliable for most social proof use cases.
Famoid
Famoid produced 83% 30-day and 76% 60-day stability. Delivery consistency across multiple test orders was high. Multi-platform coverage makes Famoid relevant for buyers managing X alongside other social accounts. At $4.49/50 retweets, pricing is mid-range relative to stability performance with a modest advantage over UseViral.
UseViral
UseViral delivered 77% 30-day and 70% 60-day stability. Source variation produces some order-to-order variance but average performance is acceptable. At $3.99/50 retweets, the price-to-stability ratio is competitive for buyers who accept some post-sweep attrition in exchange for lower cost. No dedicated refill policy was available during testing.
SidesMedia
SidesMedia delivers within 24 hours. 30-day stability reached 73% and 60-day came in at 65%. The speed advantage suits campaigns with a specific distribution window. For posts where the retweet count needs to remain stable for extended periods, the attrition rate makes re-purchasing likely. At $3.49/50 retweets, pricing reflects the delivery speed capability.
GetAFollower
GetAFollower's $2.99/50 retweets is the lowest price in this comparison. 30-day stability tested at 70% and 60-day dropped to 61%. X's aggressive sweep activity makes the stability gap between quality and budget providers more consequential than on most other platforms. Suitable for time-specific distribution windows where the retweet count matters only for a short period after posting.
Media Mister
Media Mister tested at 64% 30-day stability and 57% at 60 days. X-specific retweet quality is not their primary specialisation. At $3.79/50 retweets, pricing is mid-range without delivering the stability to justify the cost relative to alternatives with better results at lower or comparable price points.
How We Tested Retweet Stability
Test orders of 50 retweets were placed on posts during a neutral period with no concurrent promotional activity. Retweet counts were logged at delivery, 7, 30, and 60 days. Where X's sweep activity was detectable by simultaneous count drops across multiple test posts, measurement windows were extended to separate sweep-related drops from organic unretweeting. We referenced X's platform manipulation policies and X's general platform usage guidance when framing which account types are most at risk of removal in quality sweeps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do purchased retweets disappear on X?
X removes retweets when the retweeting account is suspended or removed in a quality sweep. Accounts without post history, profile photos, or engagement activity are the primary targets. When a retweeting account is removed, its associated retweet count is subtracted from the post's total. Providers who source from accounts with genuine activity history see lower removal rates; bot-network providers see removal rates that can reach 40–50% within 60 days on X, where sweep activity is particularly aggressive.
Do retweets increase post reach on X?
Retweets (reposts) are the primary distribution mechanism on X — they expose content to the follower bases of the accounts that repost it. Retweets from genuine, active accounts carry actual distribution value: their followers see the post in their feed. Retweets from bot accounts are removed quickly and carry no distribution value even while briefly counted. High-quality purchased retweets from active accounts provide genuine, if modest, distribution in addition to visible count social proof.
How many retweets makes a post look credible on X?
Context and account size matter significantly. For an account with 1,000 followers posting about a niche topic, 20–50 retweets reads as strong response. For a larger account posting broadly viral content, 200 retweets might look modest. The practical use case for purchased retweets is bringing a post's count into the range that signals genuine resonance with the content type and account size — not inflating it to levels that look implausible relative to the account's usual engagement patterns.
