TweetCatcher has been a go-to Twitter/X monitoring service for crypto traders and bot developers, offering real-time tweet alerts via Discord, Telegram, and WebSocket. But after TweetCatcher's X account was suspended (as of April 2026), many users started looking for an alternative. Xanguard covers what TweetCatcher offered, plus products it never did, with Telegram alerts from $19/month and the B2B API from $49/month.

Why Switch to Xanguard
1. TweetCatcher-Compatible WebSocket — Minimal Migration
Xanguard's B2B Realtime WebSocket API uses the same opcode protocol as TweetCatcher: HELLO, LOGIN, READY, EVENT, and HEARTBEAT. If your bot already consumes TweetCatcher's WebSocket feed, switching to Xanguard is nearly a drop-in replacement. Update your WebSocket URL, swap your API key, and your existing event-handling logic works as-is.
2. Nine Products, Not One
TweetCatcher bundled tweet alerts with follow detection and profile updates into a single product. Xanguard offers nine distinct real-time products — each purpose-built and independently subscribable:
- Tweet Alerts — tweet notifications via Telegram, ~270 ms median detection on paid plans
- Community Watch — Twitter/X community membership tracking
- Convergence Tracker — multi-account community clustering
- B2B Realtime API — tweets, deletes, follows, profiles, new followers via WebSocket
- Trending Alerts — trending topic monitoring
- Engagement Tracker — real-time engagement signals
- PumpFun Bot — pump.fun livestream, launch and caller alerts
- Search Alerts — scheduled keyword monitoring across Twitter/X
- CA Search — search tweets by contract address or ticker via API
The Community Edge
Few monitoring services track Twitter/X community activity. When a developer joins a community before a token launch, or a community is renamed or re-described, Xanguard detects it in about 5 seconds. TweetCatcher never offered this.
3. More Handles, Lower Price
TweetCatcher capped at 200 handles for EUR 300/month. Xanguard scales to 1,000 handles (Enterprise $2,849/month). For smaller needs, Xanguard's $49/month Starter plan covers 50 handles (tweets + deleted-tweet) — cheaper than TweetCatcher's entry-level EUR 70/month for 30 handles, and at 250 handles Xanguard's $229/month Starter still undercuts TweetCatcher's EUR 300/month 200-handle ceiling.
4. Active Development
With TweetCatcher's X account suspended (as of April 2026), users faced uncertainty about service continuity and support. Xanguard is actively developed, and its detection speed is published live so you can check it yourself.
Where TweetCatcher Had the Edge
Discord Delivery
TweetCatcher supported Discord webhook delivery natively. Xanguard delivers via Telegram, WebSocket and REST (plus signed webhooks on paid Tweet Alerts plans), but not directly to Discord. You can bridge alerts to Discord with a small relay script.
Pricing Comparison
Xanguard B2B pricing is tiered by handle count, with three module tiers per tier: Starter (tweets + deleted-tweet), Pro (adds profile + new-follower), and Enterprise (adds follow/unfollow). For reference, TweetCatcher listed EUR 70/mo (30 handles), EUR 150/mo (100 handles), and EUR 300/mo (200 handles), with no tier above 200 handles (as of April 2026).
| Handles | Starter | Pro | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 handles | $49/mo | $99/mo | $249/mo |
| 250 handles | $229/mo | $429/mo | $979/mo |
| 500 handles | $449/mo | $749/mo | $1,649/mo |
| 1,000 handles | $849/mo | $1,349/mo | $2,849/mo |
The $49/mo Starter entry covers tweets and deleted-tweet detection; Pro adds profile and new-follower monitoring, and Enterprise adds follow/unfollow. Pay with SOL on-chain — no credit card required.
