Typefully alternative for finding buyers on Twitter
Typefully helps you write better threads. CatchIntent helps you find people asking for what you sell. Different problems, different solutions.
Why teams switch from Typefully
Real challenges that lead people to look for alternatives
Writing tool, not finding tool
Typefully helps you craft and schedule tweets. It doesn't help you discover who's looking for solutions like yours.
No buyer intent detection
Typefully's analytics tell you what performed well. They don't tell you who's actively seeking products in your category.
Content creation overhead
Great threads take time to write. And even viral content doesn't guarantee you'll reach active buyers.
Twitter only
Your buyers discuss problems on Reddit, LinkedIn, and Hacker News too. Typefully only helps with Twitter content.
Indirect path to leads
The Typefully approach: write great threads → grow audience → hope buyers find you. That's a long journey.
Creator-focused, not sales-focused
Typefully is built for content creators building personal brands. Sales teams need different tools.
