Best Tweet Deleter Tools in 2026: What Still Works

Updated 2026-07-05 · Written by the TweetXDelete team

X's switch to pay-per-use API pricing in 2026 wiped out most free tweet deletion tools — including our own. The tools below are the ones still standing as of July 2026, grouped by how they survived. We ran a free-tier cleanup through our top pick ourselves before recommending it.

Quick comparison

1. Circleboom — best overall

Circleboom Twitter Management is the tool we point our own visitors to, for three reasons:

• A real free tier. It deletes a batch of tweets every day for free, indefinitely. If you are not in a hurry, you can clean a small account without paying anything.
• Archive Eraser. The X API only reaches your last 3,200 tweets. Circleboom accepts your official X data archive and deletes your entire history — 2009-era tweets included. Few tools survived 2026 with this feature intact.
• Official OAuth login. You sign in through X itself. The tool never sees your password, and you can revoke its access from your X settings at any time.

The paid plan adds the one-click full wipe (tweets, retweets, likes, replies) and the archive features. If you have years of history and want it gone today rather than in daily batches, that is what you are paying for.

Try Circleboom free and see how far the daily quota gets you before deciding.

2. TweetDelete — familiar name, tighter limits

TweetDelete survived the API changes but its free tier is confined to the API's 3,200-tweet window: no archive upload, no like or retweet cleanup. It works for a light prune of a recent account. For anything older or bigger you will hit the paywall quickly, and at that point the feature set is thinner than Circleboom's for similar money.

3. One-time paid tools — pay once, wipe once

A cluster of newer tools (XWipe, DeleteOldPosts, Delete My Tweets and others) settled on one-time pricing between roughly $15 and $99. The logic is sound: a single payment covers the API cost of your wipe with margin, and there is no subscription to forget about. Two things to check before buying:

• Archive support. If the tool cannot ingest your X archive, it cannot touch tweets older than the 3,200 limit — no matter what the landing page implies.
• Refund policy. You pay before the tool has processed your account, so know what happens if it chokes on your archive.

4. Browser-local tools and open-source scripts — cheap, but read the fine print

Because API deletions now cost real money, a new category deletes tweets by automating your own logged-in browser instead. No API, no per-tweet fees, so these tools are cheap or free. The trade-offs are real, though:

• Browser automation of this kind sits outside X's terms of service, and it is your account on the line, not the tool's.
• They break whenever X updates its interface, which happens often.
• Deleting thousands of tweets by simulated clicking is slow and error-prone compared to API batch calls.

If your X account matters to you — verified, business, large following — we would not run ToS-adjacent automation on it to save a few dollars.

Our verdict

Small recent account, no rush: Circleboom's free daily deletion costs nothing and uses official OAuth. Years of history, want it gone now: a Circleboom paid plan with Archive Eraser is the cleanest full wipe available in 2026. On a strict budget with a throwaway account: a one-time tool or local script can work, with the caveats above.
