Both take a link to an X post and give you something worth posting. They are built for two different jobs, and this page is about which job is yours. Their prices and features were read off their own site on 2026-09-03.
Thirty posts captured at once, an API on every paid plan, and connections to Zapier, n8n and Make. Their free plan gives five images a month with no watermark, and their Business plan exports SVG and HTML as well as PNG. Feather does none of that today.
twittershots.comFeather takes the video out of the post, writes down what is said in it, and burns those words on as captions, in the original language or translated. Up to 120 seconds a clip. It also runs where the post is: a browser extension, a Telegram bot, and an interface in 6 languages including Arabic.
Try it freeSparrow costs nothing for as long as you want it. 10 posts a day, all 15 templates, every font, and the video downloader. Images carry a small Feather mark until you upgrade, and that is the only thing held back.
10 a day, every day, with no card
Their pricing page lists Pro, Pro+ and Business. There is no free plan on it, and the feature table under it compares only those three. Removing the watermark is a Pro feature.
A free card does appear elsewhere on their site, at $0 with 10 credits, limited features and a TwitterShots watermark. A third page contradicts both and calls it a free forever plan with no watermark. We have linked all three at the foot of this page so you can judge for yourself.
Every paid plan comes with API credits, and they connect to Zapier, n8n and Make. If you want a screenshot to appear at the end of a workflow you did not write yourself, they have that today and Feather does not.
Pro+ takes up to 30 posts at once. Feather works on one post at a time. If your job is to clear a list of links, that difference is the whole job.
Their Business plan renders vector and markup as well as PNG. Feather exports PNG and MP4. For a designer who wants to open the result in Figma and keep editing, vector wins.
Every paid plan of theirs includes unlimited manual screenshots. Feather counts the posts you pull each day and stops when you reach the limit, which is 80 a day on Falcon and 300 on Eagle. For a day of heavy, bursty work that cap is real and theirs is not.
Feather listens to the video inside the post and writes the words down, timed to the moment they are said. Nothing on the TwitterShots site offers this. It is the difference between animating a piece of text and subtitling a person talking.
An English clip goes out with Spanish, Japanese, Turkish or Arabic subtitles burned in. This is the reason most people arrive: a post that could only travel in one language now travels in several.
A browser extension on Chrome and Firefox, and a Telegram bot that answers a pasted link. TwitterShots is a website you visit. Feather is a button on the page you were already reading.
Not one screenshot style with a background swapped, but 15 full designs, in three shapes, with your logo and handle on the Eagle plan. Videos up to 90 seconds long.
Feather’s column is read from the live plans, so it is whatever the plans currently say. Theirs was read from their site on 2026-09-03. Where their site does not answer, the cell says so rather than guessing.

TwitterShots prices in dollars and Feather in euros, so these are not a like-for-like conversion. Their headline figures carry cents, which is what a yearly total divided by twelve looks like, and two of their own pages describe them as yearly rates.
Free, then €6.99 to €14.99 a month
The free plan turns 10 posts a day into images, with every template and every font, and the mark stays on until you upgrade. Paying removes it and opens video, thread export and translation.
Rendering, captions and translation are paid for in Feathers, which come with every paid plan and can be topped up on any plan from €4.99 to €14.99. Unused Feathers stay in your balance.
$5.83 to $49 a month, every plan paid
Their pricing page lists three plans and every one of them is paid. A free card appears elsewhere on their site at $0 with 10 credits, limited features and a TwitterShots watermark.
Paid plans run from Pro to Business. All of them include unlimited manual screenshots and a monthly allowance of API credits, from 300 API credits a month up to 6,000 API credits a month. Video, bulk capture and a custom logo start at Pro+.
TwitterShots does one thing at volume: a clean screenshot from a URL, thirty at a time, or thousands through its API. Feather is a studio for the whole post. It has a designed template library and three shapes for images, thread export with translation, and the deeper video side: it takes the video inside a post, writes captions from what is actually said, and can burn those captions in translated. Pick TwitterShots for many plain images, quickly and automatically. Pick Feather when the output has to be designed, subtitled or in another language.
Feather yes, TwitterShots not really. Feather’s Sparrow plan is free with no time limit: 10 posts a day, every template and every font, with a small Feather mark on the images until you upgrade. TwitterShots sells three plans and every one of them is paid. A free card appears elsewhere on their site at $0, with 10 credits, limited features and a TwitterShots watermark, which is a demo of the product rather than a way to keep using it. Their own pages disagree about this, so check the links at the foot of this page.
No. Their tweet-to-video tool animates the post itself and exports an MP4 in three shapes. Nothing on their site offers transcription or subtitles, and nothing offers translated subtitles. That is the widest gap between the two products.
Not yet. If your work is automated, through Zapier, n8n or your own code, TwitterShots is the tool that can do it today.
Plenty of people should. They barely overlap: use TwitterShots to clear a list of links into plain images, and Feather when a post needs a designed card, an exported thread, or a clip your readers cannot understand in the language it was recorded in.
Paste a link to a post with a video in it. Feather writes the captions, puts them in the language you choose, and gives you the MP4. The free plan is enough to see whether it is any good.
