A Circleboom Alternative That Never Touches Your Account
Circleboom wants your X login before it will show you anything. Postory finds the dead, bot-shaped and suspended accounts you follow read-only — and you can see the first ten without signing up at all.
No login, no card
Compare Circleboom and Postory
Circleboom Manager handles X following management. Its separate Publish product handles content generation and scheduling.
It Wants Access to Your Account
Circleboom's unfollow feature needs permission to act as you on X. That's the price of one-click unfollowing — and a lot of people would rather not pay it just to see who went quiet.
You Can't Look Before You Buy
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.
Manager and Publish Are Separate Products
Circleboom Manager handles X account management. Circleboom Publish separately offers AI content generation, scheduling, and publishing.
Postory vs Circleboom — Feature Comparison
A side-by-side look, including the one thing Circleboom does that Postory deliberately doesn't.
How Postory Does It Differently
Postory combines read-only following checks with reach and writing tools. Circleboom offers Manager and Publish as separate products.
Read-Only, By Design
Postory holds no permission to follow, unfollow or post on your behalf when it checks your list. It finds the accounts; you unfollow them on X. Nothing can go wrong with an access token that was never granted.

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 own voice 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. X gives third-party apps no bulk-unfollow API, so tools that offer it act as you — and we decided we'd rather not hold that permission over your account.
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.
