The ManageFlitter Alternative That Can't Be Shut Down
ManageFlitter relied on Twitter's API — and lost access overnight. X Unfollow Pro runs entirely in your browser. No API keys. No dependency on platform access. No single point of failure.
Last updated: February 8, 2026
TL;DR
ManageFlitter served 4 million users before Twitter killed its API access in January 2022. X Unfollow Pro is a Chrome extension that runs in your browser — no API keys, no risk of platform shutdowns. Advanced filtering (inactive accounts, follower count, verified status), whitelist protection, and bulk unfollow. Free tier: 10 unfollows per week. Pro: $6.99/month or $49.99 lifetime.
ManageFlitter Is No Longer Available
Twitter revoked API access. After serving 4 million users since 2010, ManageFlitter shut down permanently. This happened in January 2022.
Why ManageFlitter Users Need a New Tool
ManageFlitter is permanently offline
Twitter revoked API access in 2022. The site is down. Your data is gone. There is no coming back.
API-dependent tools are a liability
ManageFlitter, Crowdfire, and Tweepi all collapsed when Twitter restricted API access. Tools built on APIs can be switched off without warning.
You still need to clean up your following list
Inactive accounts, spam followers, non-followers — the problem ManageFlitter solved hasn't gone away. Your following list still needs management.
Most replacements are overpriced
Circleboom charges $24.99/month. SocialDog starts at $12/month. These are 3-4x what a simple unfollow tool should cost.
