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 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.
