Run a lead-gen service on X. XTerminal is your back office.
If you sell lead generation — or you're pitching clients "I'll find you customers, free if I don't" — XTerminal is the engine that makes that promise cheap to keep. It watches X for every client's buyers around the clock, judges each post for real buying intent, and hands you the hot ones. You deliver them, bill the retainer, and keep the margin.
The founders who scaled agencies this way started by doing it by hand: spreadsheets of qualified leads, delivered weekly, guaranteed. XTerminal is that job, automated — while you stay the business your clients pay.
The margin math
Lead-gen retainers commonly run $500–$1,000+ per client per month. Your entire XTerminal cost is $9.95 a month — flat, not per seat, not per client.
| Per month | |
|---|---|
| What a client pays you for qualified leads | $500–$1,000+ |
| What XTerminal costs you, total | $9.95 |
| Extra tool cost for your next client | $0 |
One retainer covers your tooling roughly a hundred times over. The expensive part of running a lead-gen service was never the software — it was the hours spent scrolling. That's the part XTerminal does.
How operators run it
- One monitor set per client. Watch their competitors, their category keywords, and churn phrases like "switching from" or "fed up with." Group each client's monitors in a folder so nothing crosses streams.
- Intent judging does the qualifying. Every matching post gets read and judged — "actively shopping for a replacement, price-sensitive" — so what reaches you is a shortlist, not a firehose. See how that differs from keyword alerts.
- You deliver, however you like. Hot leads arrive with the real post, real metrics, and a direct link. Forward them, drop them in a spreadsheet, or paste them into your client's Slack — every lead carries its live X link, so your client can verify every row you send.
What XTerminal will never do to your clients
Auto-reply tools get accounts flagged and get agencies fired. XTerminal drafts replies in your voice when you ask — but it never sends anything, ever. No auto-replies, no auto-DMs, no scheduled spam. You (or your client) make every contact by hand, from a one-tap Reply on X link. That's a feature to sell, not a limitation: your service stays the kind X doesn't ban and clients don't churn from.
Why not just use a listening suite?
Brand24 starts at $199/mo, Sprout Social at $199 per seat, Brandwatch at $800+ — per month, before you've onboarded a second client. And they're monitoring tools: they tell you what was said. A lead-gen operator needs to know who to talk to. That's the difference intent judging makes, at $9.95 flat. See the full comparison.
We also publish live share-of-conversation data for the whole category — see the X monitoring tools mindshare race — so you can show clients the market you're hunting in, with data nobody else has.

FAQ
Do I need the X API or a developer account?
No. There's no developer key and no scraping setup. XTerminal uses your existing Grok / X access to read posts, so you can start watching minutes after you download it.
How do I keep multiple clients organized?
Give each client a folder of monitors. Each monitor watches that client's keywords, competitors, or churn phrases, and every lead arrives labeled with the monitor that caught it, so you always know which client it belongs to.
What does adding another client cost me?
Nothing in tooling — XTerminal is $9.95/mo flat, no per-seat or per-client pricing. Retrieval runs on your own Grok access, so your costs stay yours and your margin stays fat.
Will it contact leads on my clients' behalf?
Never. XTerminal never auto-replies, never DMs, never posts. It can draft a reply in your voice, but a human presses send every time. Agencies that automate outreach get their clients' accounts flagged; XTerminal is built so that can't happen.
Can my AI agent run this for me?
Yes. The full CLI (xleads) is scriptable and headless — any agent that can run a shell command can create monitors, run searches, and pull judged leads while you're doing sales calls.
