Tweet Hunter alternative for finding buyers on X
Tweet Hunter helps you grow followers. CatchIntent helps you find people already looking to buy. Different goals, different tools.
Why teams switch from Tweet Hunter
Real challenges that lead people to look for alternatives
Content-first, not buyer-first
Tweet Hunter is designed for content creation and audience building. If your goal is finding leads, you're paying for features you don't use.
No buyer intent detection
Tweet Hunter helps you schedule posts and find viral content. It doesn't identify people actively asking for product recommendations.
Indirect lead generation
The Tweet Hunter model: create content → grow followers → hope some become leads. That's a long path to revenue.
Twitter/X only
Your buyers discuss problems on Reddit, LinkedIn, and Hacker News too. Tweet Hunter only helps you on one platform.
Feature bloat for sales teams
Thread builders, scheduling, auto-DMs, engagement pods — none of these help you find people ready to buy right now.
Expensive for lead gen use case
At $49-99/month, you're paying premium prices for content tools when you really need buyer discovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CatchIntent a replacement for Tweet Hunter?
They serve different purposes. Tweet Hunter helps you create content and grow an audience. CatchIntent helps you find people already looking to buy. Many teams use content tools AND intent detection together.
Can I still grow my Twitter following with CatchIntent?
CatchIntent is focused on finding buyers, not growing followers. If audience building is your goal, you'd use a different tool. If finding leads is your goal, CatchIntent is the right choice.
Why would I choose CatchIntent over Tweet Hunter?
If your primary goal is finding people ready to buy (not building an audience), CatchIntent provides a more direct path. Instead of creating content and hoping leads find you, you find them.
Does CatchIntent have content scheduling?
No. CatchIntent is focused entirely on buyer intent detection. For scheduling, use Buffer or a similar tool alongside CatchIntent.
What if I want both content growth and lead finding?
Many teams use Tweet Hunter for content strategy and CatchIntent for finding active buyers. The tools are complementary, not competitive.
How does pricing compare?
CatchIntent offers a free trial. For teams focused on lead generation rather than content, CatchIntent typically provides better ROI since you're finding qualified buyers, not just growing followers.
