Why Crowdfire Users Need a New Tool
Crowdfire is permanently offline
After 15 years, Crowdfire shut down on May 15, 2025. All user data was deleted by June 30, 2025. There's no migration path — your data is gone.
The recommended replacements are expensive
SocialBee ($29/month), Hootsuite ($99/month), Buffer ($15/month) — these are full social media suites with prices to match. If you mainly used Crowdfire for Twitter management, you're overpaying.
You need focused Twitter/X tools, not a bloated suite
If your primary use of Crowdfire was managing your X/Twitter following list, you don't need a $29/month social media management platform. You need a focused unfollow tool.
API-dependent platforms keep disappearing
ManageFlitter (2022), Crowdfire (2025) — tools that depend on platform APIs are at risk. Browser-based tools eliminate this single point of failure.
