Hello to all who will read this request - I have just checked once again everything. Here are the results: My profile page shows - 415 followers twitterapi . io shows - 411 followers
unfollr.com plugin shows - 413 followers (all of them counted corrected and received via official data).
So why it differs? On profile you see cached calculated value given by x bot runner. At doesn’t show 1by1 accurate value, also it has some delay - especially when some users where suspended or blocked or even removed. So as a result - no need to expect the same value as you on profile page.
As for that api service - I am not sure what do they use, but probably graphql.
Our plugin counts everything what x shows to us. Based on long testing period - it is really accurate, and now with new 0.4.0 version we fixed renaming issue and added spy mode. That is mostly the main what you need to track everything about unfollowers accurately
Stay tuned

That is X issue actually( I even compared and calculated manually all accounts on my followers/following page - and got the same amount. Looks like numbers on profile page somehow delayed or something like this, cause via API I got the same results. If I will find a way to fix it - I will push the fix. Now I am working on nicknames changes - to understand that it is still the same user

I disabled uBlock Origin extension on the X page, closed X and opened again. Counts now look correct, so maybe the bug was an extension conflict

Thank you for your question. Actually, that is a good catch, and it is X’s mistake; their subs numbers are always not 100% correct. I scanned it so many times that I have calculated it also manually to check. The plugin shows the right number, as many as you can see on your followers page. Those phantom extra users are usually blocked or suspended, and they are not showing on the followers page; that is the main reason. Also, I will fix the issue soon for those users who have changed their nicknames.
