Tweepi alternative: what to use now that it has shut down
Tweepi closed in April 2023, so if you are looking for it you are really looking for a replacement. The job it did, seeing who you follow that doesn't follow you back and thinning that list out, still needs doing. Here is how SpacerrX does it and what is different.
Tweepi shut down in April 2023
X started charging for API access at a rate that made a per-account follow and unfollow tool unworkable. Tweepi closed its doors and refunded customers pro-rata rather than raise prices to match.
The short answer
Tweepi is gone. It shut down in April 2023 when X began charging for API access at a rate a per-account follow and unfollow tool could not absorb, and it refunded customers pro-rata on the way out. Anything selling under the Tweepi name today is not the original product, which is worth knowing before you hand it your account.
SpacerrX does the same core job without the thing that killed Tweepi. It is a Chrome extension, so the follower comparison runs in the X session you are already logged into, on your own device, using the pages X already serves you. There is no API bill to pass on, which is why the full non-follower tracker is free and unlimited rather than metered.
Side by side
| Feature | SpacerrX | Tweepi |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Active, updated regularly | Shut down in April 2023 |
| Form factor | Chrome extension (Manifest V3), works inside x.com | Web app built on the Twitter API |
| Account access | Reads and unfollows run in the X session you are already logged into: no authorization step, no password. Publishing scheduled posts uses an official X connection you authorise once and can revoke | You authorized their app against your Twitter account |
| Non-follower tracking | Yes, free and unlimited, with groups | Yes, this was its core job |
| Unfollowing | One tap each, pace-warned. 20 a month free, unlimited on a plan | Bulk follow and unfollow from filtered lists |
| Why it survives API pricing | The follower comparison reads pages your browser already loads, so there is no per-call API cost to pass on to you | Every action was a metered API call, which is what made the model unworkable |
| AI writing | Posts and replies drafted in your distilled voice, in the reply box where you write them | Not offered |
| Trend research | Live niche posts with real engagement right now, custom search, and AI post ideas | Not offered |
| Post scheduling | Yes. Scheduled posts publish with your browser closed, plus opt-in Ghostwriter that drafts and queues on a cadence you set | Not offered |
| Priced by | A monthly AI credit pool. Follower count and account size never change the price | Plan tier, while it was operating |

When SpacerrX is the better pick
- You want the job Tweepi did, seeing who doesn't follow you back and thinning the list, from something that is still running.
- You want that part free and unlimited rather than metered against an API bill.
- You would rather not authorize another third-party app against your account after the last one closed.
- You want the rest of the loop too: drafts in your own voice, live niche trends, and scheduling.
Common questions
- What happened to Tweepi?
- It shut down in April 2023. When X replaced free API access with paid tiers, the cost of the calls a follow and unfollow tool makes stopped adding up, and Tweepi closed rather than raise prices to match. It processed pro-rata refunds for existing customers at the time. A number of similar tools closed in the same window for the same reason.
- What is the best Tweepi alternative?
- For the specific job Tweepi did, listing who you follow that doesn't follow you back and letting you thin that list, SpacerrX covers it free and unlimited, and runs as a Chrome extension in your own X session rather than through the paid API. Circleboom is the closest surviving dashboard if you would rather have a hosted web app and want bulk actions.
- Is it safe to use a tool with the Tweepi name today?
- Be careful. The original product shut down in April 2023 and its domain no longer resolves, so anything currently trading on that name is not the tool people remember. Since these tools ask to act on your account, an unfamiliar operator behind a familiar name is worth more scrutiny than usual, not less.
- Will unfollowing get my account restricted?
- It can if you do it in bursts. Rapid bulk unfollowing is one of the clearest signals spam detection looks for, and it was a real risk with the bulk tools of the Tweepi era. SpacerrX makes every unfollow a single tap you press and warns you when your pace looks risky. That is slower on purpose, because a sustainable pace is the point.
