# Typefully alternatives

> Alternatives to Typefully, including the case for staying. Facts retrieved from vendor-owned pages on 22 July 2026.

## First: should you switch at all?

The nicest place to write a thread, full stop. Fast, quiet, and the analytics are good for text-first creators.

Reasons to stay on Typefully:

- Writing. Their editor is better than ours. If threads are the whole job, use it.
- Price. $12.50 a month against our $20.
- Mastodon, which we do not support.
