# Tweet Hunter alternative

**Fetched 2026-10-10.** This page compares tweet-factory with Tweet Hunter using source in this repo and pages fetched that day. Marketing totals and library-size figures are left out, because the homepage stated more than one library number.

## What Tweet Hunter’s pages said

[tweethunter.io](https://tweethunter.io/) described writing and scheduling for X, analytics, and automation it names as Auto DM, retweet, and plug. It also described an AI writing pass and a library of other people’s tweets to take inspiration from. The pricing document’s `<title>` is “Tweet Hunter Pricing - Plans from $49/mo | Try Free for 7 Days”. The meta description says the product is “AI-powered writing, scheduling, analytics, and CRM for X (Twitter).”

A public OAuth URL on the homepage requests `tweet.write` and `dm.write` among other scopes, with `redirect_uri` on `app.tweethunter.io`. That is a write-capable login. Those pages did not present the product as a local private CLI.

## What tweet-factory is instead

tweet-factory drafts on your machine and stops. Scopes in `src/x/auth.ts` are `tweet.read`, `users.read`, `like.read`, `bookmark.read`, and `offline.access`. There is no `tweet.write` and no `dm.write`. `tf generate` writes a markdown file. Voice comes from `persona/PERSONA.md` and from your own likes, bookmarks, and posts, not from a library of other people’s tweets. All rights reserved. The software price in the landing schema is 0.

[Typefully](typefully-alternative.md) and [Hypefury](hypefury-alternative.md) are separate pages from the same fetch. Ranker behavior is [How the X (Twitter) algorithm works](how-the-x-algorithm-works.md), not a feature of either product.
