A Circleboom Alternative You Can Try Without a Login
Circleboom wants your X login before it will show you anything. Postory finds the dead, bot-shaped and suspended accounts you follow from your handle alone, with no login, in a one-off check from $4.99. Connect X only when you want to unfollow the ones you pick.
Compare Circleboom and Postory
Circleboom Manager handles X following management. Its separate Publish product handles content generation and scheduling.
Circleboom's cleanup starts with permission to act as you on X. A lot of people would rather not grant that just to see who went quiet, and Postory's no-login check needs none.
There's no way to see what's rotting in your following list without signing up and connecting first. Postory quotes an exact price for any public handle and shows a full sample report before you pay anything.
Circleboom Manager handles X account management. Circleboom Publish separately offers AI content generation, scheduling, and publishing.

How Postory Does It Differently
Postory combines following checks, paced unfollowing, reach and writing tools. Circleboom offers Manager and Publish as separate products.
Look First, Connect to Act
The no-login check holds no permission on your account: handle in, list out. Connect X in Postory only when you want to unfollow the accounts you pick — one now, or scheduled at up to 50 a day at random times. Postory never unfollows anyone on its own.

Enter any public X handle and get both plan quotes in seconds — no signup, no connection. A full sample report shows exactly what you'll get before you decide.
Ban Risk, Not Just Clutter
A follow list full of suspended and bot-shaped accounts is a signal, not just noise. Postory's Shadowban Recovery reads it alongside your reach, cadence and follower velocity to flag ban risk.
It Writes, Too
Circleboom offers AI writing through its separate Publish product. Postory drafts posts in your style from a YouTube link, an article, or a sentence — then schedules them.
X, Threads and Bluesky
One workspace across all three. Write once, adapt automatically, publish everywhere.
Pay for What You Run
No subscription required. 100 welcome credits free on signup, and the following check quotes an exact upper bound before it starts — the bill can only come in lower.
When Circleboom Might Be the Better Fit
If what you want is a button that unfollows hundreds of accounts while you make coffee, Circleboom does that and Postory does not. Postory unfollows only the accounts you pick, at most 50 a day, each at a random time: X's rules forbid automatic, indiscriminate mass unfollowing, and we would rather not put your account at that risk.
But if you'd rather see the problem before granting anything, want to know whether X is limiting your reach as well as who's gone quiet, or need the posts written in the first place — that's what Postory is for.
