Which X (Twitter) DM automation tools still work in 2026?

Eight tools still send DMs on X, and we make one of them, so read our row with that in mind.

Cloud or browser: the choice that matters most

A cloud tool sends from its own servers, so it needs your logged-in session to send as you. XAutoDM's own FAQ says you connect "by pasting your session cookies", and DMpro's quick start asks for the same. That session is what keeps you signed in to X, so you are handing over the keys to the account.

A browser tool sends from the Chrome you are already signed in to, and your X login never leaves your browser. The cost is that Chrome must stay open, and every account on that computer shares its internet address. Set them next to X's own API and the trade comes down to who holds your login:

Twittrz calls browser extensions the highest ban risk, since they send from your own session and address. Part of that is fair, because accounts on one computer do share an address. But X's rule covers every method, ours included: "You may not send unsolicited Direct Messages in a bulk or automated manner". Extension vs cloud vs API covers each risk in depth.

What each tool costs, and how

Prices are monthly, read on each maker's site on 5 October 2026, and sorted from the cheapest paid start to the dearest:

Who each one suits

Pick by what you need most: lead finding, follow-ups, or your login kept at home.

• Nodott looks for people already asking for what you sell. It does not publish where it runs or how it signs in.
• XAutoDM is the cheapest start with a free plan, plus lead finding and follow-ups. You paste your cookies, and it says it works best with a blue check.
• Tweet Hunter is a posting tool first. It DMs people who engage with you rather than cold lists.
• Twittrz is built for fleets of 150 accounts or more, with a proxy per account. It takes tokens or a login and is paid in crypto only.
• Outpulse is the cautious pick, on X's official API. Each DM costs a credit.
• Ours suits 1 to 20 accounts when you will not hand over a login. It reads each account's cap and sends up to it. It needs Chrome open, and it has no lead finder and no follow-ups. Agencies can see how it runs client accounts.
• Xreacher suits big operations. It keeps sending with your computer off, covers LinkedIn and Telegram too, and scales past 100 accounts. It stores your X login, encrypted, and wants Premium accounts at least six months old.
• DMpro suits people who like building flows. It has branching follow-ups and a 7-day refund, and it also takes your cookies.

We compare ourselves with three of them in depth: Xreacher, XAutoDM and DMpro.

Two names to skip

Drippi was a common pick until September 2026. Its homepage now reads "Drippi has shut down", and it lists its customer database for sale. If you used it, remove its access to your X account and ask for your data to be deleted. What former Drippi users should do walks through it.

Hypefury still shows up in roundups, but its pricing FAQ says it "no longer supports" X.

No tool sends more than X allows

Vendors like to quote big daily numbers. DMpro sells 250 DMs a day per account, and Xreacher talks about 30 to 50 on Premium. X decides the real number, and it is the same whichever tool presses send:

Above those caps, a tool can only reach your followers or people you already chat with. We ran 46 customer accounts from 2 July to 5 October 2026. On 521 of the 965 days one got an error 226, it had just sent about 35 first messages.

From 2 July to 5 October 2026, none of the 46 X accounts Xsender ran was suspended. 9 had a temporary phone or puzzle check. That is a record, not a promise. Ask any vendor for theirs.

Which one to try first

If you run one account on a small budget, start with a free plan or a 7-day trial and see whether your list replies before paying for scale. If no computer can stay on, a cloud tool is the practical answer, as long as you are willing to paste cookies. Otherwise, use a tool on X's own login, or a browser extension.

Whichever you pick, the tool only sends more of what you write, and our users see 1% to 8% replies depending on the script. If you run 1 to 3 accounts and want to keep your login, start with our 7-day trial. From 4 accounts up, price your exact count: at 10 accounts, Xreacher is $189, XAutoDM $199 and we are $264.
