Incorrect list of followers
When I did a scan it says two people unfollowed me, but actually one of them is still following me. Also the scan produced incorrect number of followers. There are 7 more followers listed on my Twitter profile than what is said on the Unfollr capture.

Hello, thank you for the message. I got the same behaviour sometimes, but while checking and searching such profiles on followers page - they are not present them. If you can check it - please ping me with update.
Somehow X not showing the whole truth on following and followers pages, or vice verca - they are lying on profile page numbers. But 7 is big diffrence. Can you please tell me what was the whole amount? just to understand the % gap. Thank you

Hello. On the page it says 922 followers, but Unfollr records 915.
It also records incorrect numbers of accounts I follow. On the page it says I follow 242 accounts, but Unfollr records 238.

Hello, those difference in 7 users actually can be a true. We are rewriting gathering information script - it should return actual numbers. In your case it is no sense to check one by one) But I did it on my - and actually profile page number and followers are differs on 2-3 users always. So don’t pay so much attention to the gap, the main task it to find new/unfollowers. Detection improvements will come with 0.4.* version

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
