X Links Add-on

By default, Upload-Post strips every URL from posts published to X (Twitter) before they are published. This keeps your X usage on X's cheaper pricing tier — X bills roughly $0.200 per "Content: Create (with URL)" request versus $0.015 for posts without a URL. You can read the full stripping policy on the Character Limits page and in the Upload Text reference.

The X Links add-on lets you keep URLs in your X posts instead of having them removed.

What it does

When the add-on is active, parseable URLs are no longer stripped from your X posts — captions, titles, and first_comment keep their links. This applies across every X path (video, photo, text, scheduled, and retried posts).

Only posts that actually contain a link consume the add-on's quota. Normal link-free X posts are unaffected and never count against it.

Price

PlanPriceBilling
X Links add-on$19/month (USD) or €18/month (EUR)Monthly only

There is no annual option for this add-on yet.

The add-on includes 50 link-posts per month, counted globally per account. The 50/month pool is shared across all of your X profiles — it is not a per-profile allowance.

Only posts that include a link consume the quota. Link-free posts do not.

What happens when the cap is reached

When you reach your 50 link-posts for the billing cycle, the behaviour reverts to the default: URLs are stripped from any further X posts until the quota resets at the start of your next billing cycle.

How to enable it

The X Links add-on requires an active paid subscription and is added on top of your existing subscription:

  1. Open your subscription / billing settings in the Upload-Post app.
  2. Find the X Links add-on and choose "Add to plan".

Once added, the add-on takes effect on your existing subscription and your monthly quota begins.

Coexists with other add-ons

The X Links add-on works alongside other add-ons (for example, the extra-profiles add-on). You can have several add-ons active on the same subscription at once.
