Twitter/X engagement rate questions

What is a good Twitter/X engagement rate in 2026?

A good Twitter/X engagement rate depends on follower count. Smaller accounts can clear 2-3%, while larger accounts often do well around 0.5-1%. Use the table above to compare your account against creators your size.

Why are X engagement rates lower than Instagram or TikTok?

The X feed moves fast and many people read without clicking like, repost, or reply. A lower rate can still be strong if the audience is niche, active, and useful to brands.

Do brands care about Twitter/X engagement?

Yes, especially for creators with trusted opinions in tech, finance, gaming, media, and business. Replies and reposts show that people do more than scroll past your posts.
