X in the panels: counters that look almost identical

X is the network with the most easily confused metrics. Across all indexed panels there are 4,939 orderable entries in 20 performance tiers from 24 catalogues, and a good part of the work on this section was keeping apart products whose German names almost match.

At the core there are four pairs. Views and impressions are not the same: one counts plays of a video, the other impressions of a post. Viewers and listeners are separated in German by a single vowel and in price by an order of magnitude — one gets a broadcast, the other an audio room. Reposts are called Retweets here, because a German search for shares would otherwise land in stock trading. And clicks mean the link in a post, not the post itself.

These distinctions are not language pedantry. Each one stands for an order that arrives on the wrong number and cannot be reclaimed.

One figure still belongs to the picture, because it comes from the fields rather than the titles: the number of offers on this network where the panel reports a refill through its own interface is 381. This refers to the variant that can be triggered by yourself; a refill window in the offer name is a promise and not a field. For followers the question matters, for impressions and clicks it does not — what was once counted does not drop away there.

Promised refill: the windows in stock

Promises are made in the offer name: a deadline in days, a standing promise, an explicit no, or nothing at all. On X the statement matters mainly for followers, because the platform removes accounts in large runs; for impressions and clicks nothing drops away. What is shown here are promises from the titles and not a measurement of retention.

Across this network's stock, the number of entries with a deadline in days is 1,424, those with promises without an expiry date 124, those with explicit refusals 1,147 — and those whose entries say nothing about refill 2,244. Together the four groups cover this network's stock completely; their sum is 4,939. The silent group belongs in every statement about the other three, because without it a catalogue that says nothing reads like one that promises little.

The number of entries promising at least 30 days is 1,352, the number with at least one year is 175. Standing promises are counted in both tiers, because a promise without expiry outlasts every deadline — a tiering that left them out would count the strongest promises in the catalogue smaller than they are. The tiers therefore cannot be added: the longer one lies entirely within the shorter.

The median of the windows with a day figure is 30 Tage. Standing promises stay out, because they cannot be translated into days without inventing a number.

The lowest priceable base price in this network is 0.0009 € per thousand units, the middle of the field sits at 3.99 €. The lower value is currently held by Auto SMM Panel — that is a property of a single catalogue and not a market situation, and at the next pull it may sit with another provider. Both are purchase prices at wholesale level, not what a German-language sales page charges for them.

Attached to the account are Followers.

Attached to the individual post are Likes, Comments, Retweets, Views for video plays, Impressions for displays and Clicks for the link in it.

The two live formats are kept apart: Live viewers for a video broadcast, Spaces listeners for an audio room. Both pages state the boundary in both directions, because the catalogues regularly list them under the same heading.

Which providers stand behind these lines is shown in the panel comparison.

Between two pulls the catalogue does not stand still. Since 31/10/2026, 185 entries in this scope have a different base price than before, of which 0 upward and 185 downward; 0 rows have been newly added and 0 have disappeared from the catalogues. The date given is that of the oldest of these earlier pulls, so the row does not claim a freshness that its slowest component does not have.

Comparison is only made across panels that have a second pull at all; their number is 24 and is not the number of indexed panels, because a newly added provider has no history yet. As long as this second pull is missing, nothing is shown here — a zero would mean "nothing has moved", and that is a measurement, not a gap.

Two details appear in no panel interface and are therefore maintained by hand from the providers' statements: whether a provider issues a proper invoice and which payment methods it accepts. The number of providers with an invoice in this scope is 2. Since 30/08/2026 none of these details has gone unchecked here — the oldest check is shown rather than the newest, because a date of the last check would conceal the providers that nobody has looked at for longest. The number of providers without any check at all is currently 0.

Many of these lines resemble each other down to the quantity limits, and there is a reason for that: panels buy from the same upstream suppliers. Where entries from different providers within a tier exceed our similarity threshold, we list them as a group and mark the more expensive lines with a note that they probably sell the same source — not all of them, because where the price gap can only be a counting error, the note is omitted. The number of groups touching this section is 607, the number of marked lines 1,225.

"Probably" carries this sentence. No panel writes into its interface who it buys from; we see two lines that match, and that is a hint, not proof. The groups also do not partition the stock — what is counted is what touches this section. The measurement is described in detail in the panel comparison.
