10 Best Twitter/X Thread & Scheduling Tools (2024)

There’s a good chance you know what Twitter threads are by now. 

They’re a super hot format within the startup, tech and entrepreneurial community. You’ve probably seen a lot of them in your feed. 

However, it’s not just startup or tech people though. Threads have now become widely adopted across a wide range of other industries and thought leaders. 

I mean, I’ve seen the likes of popular vegan bloggers write awesome threads, to NFT enthusiasts talking about the latest drops. 

They’re a popular format that anyone, from any industry, can start using. 

Why are threads so popular?

There are a few reasons why: 

• Super easy to communicate digestible information - more succinct, punchy and ‘direct to the point’. 
• Really good for engagement and communicating value immediately - It’s the best format I’ve seen that gets the most retweets and shares.
• More retweets and shares lead to larger reach and impressions. I’ve seen many threads go viral.
• Ultimately, more reach and impressions lead to more clicks to your profile, which then increases more followers.

I’ve personally seen many people who have grown their followings in just a matter of months from a follower count in only the 100’s and low 1000’s, who end up sharing on average a thread per day to get to a follower count level to over 100,000+ followers. 

Yes, in literally months. 

Not to mention, I’ve seen crazy numbers of threads that even receive over 10,000 retweets. If you get your content game right, it could reap huge rewards. 

What to consider when researching these options?

When researching and exploring each of them, consider a few things: 

• Value for money in terms of features
• Overall user experience
• Analytics - simple vs. detailed
• Integrations - other social channels? 

These are the main things to think about. 

Sweet, let’s get into them. 

1. Queue

If love Notion like me, you’re going to love Queue. For those who don’t know about Notion, it’s a project management (as well as a life management platform in my case) that lets you write notes, plan tasks, manage files, set reminders, save documents, and stay organised with your files and assets. Where Queue comes in is that it’s a Twitter scheduling tool that integrates directly with Notion. 

Pros  

• You can write your tweets directly in Notion, and view how your tweet will actually look like when posted on your account. It also provides you with a character limit.
• As you customise the content calendar according to your preference, it will update the “published” or “scheduled” post statuses automatically.
• Instead of writing tweet ideas on a separate note app and copying-pasting it to a separate platform for scheduling, or even just natively through Twitter itself, Queue provides you with a single space to do all of this with a single click.
• It constantly analyses the metrics of your tweets so you can tailor your Twitter content strategy accordingly.
• It gives you different download options such as Chrome extension, Firefox extension, Mac app, and Windows app for added convenience.

However, you can get access to the personal pro, team, and enterprise paid plans, which offer unlimited tweets and threads and real-time analysis along with other amazing features.

With a personal pro and team plan, you can expect to pay $9 and $19 per month billed “annually”. For the enterprise plan, you need to get a quote from the team.

⚡ Frequently Asked Questions ⚡

Who has the best user experience and features when it comes to scheduling and analytics for Twitter threads?

For me personally, it has to be Typefully and Chirr App. Both are simple enough to use scheduling your threads takes seconds. You can see what the threads look like as you write them. When it comes to exploring your metrics in further detail, Typefully goes into a bit more detail, but Chir App is still reasonable. If you want deeper metrics and analysis for your Tweets, it’s best to use either ilo or Black Magic.

Can you schedule threads with Tweetdeck?

The short answer is no. Not at present time anyway. You can schedule multiple tweets at once, but it’s not the same experience as you would do with threads. You will need to use a 3rd party tool, such as the platforms mentioned in this article.

Are there free tools for creating threads?

If you’re looking for a free solution, your best bet is Thread Creator where you can draft as many threads as you would like, but can only publish once per week on the free version. So, you can prepare and drafts threads to see what they look like, which then you can copy and paste, and then publish via Twitter itself. However, you’re limited on publishing directly from the tool, nor can you schedule in advance. You will need to upgrade to get those features. This is a similar case to the other platforms mentioned.

Who Twitter thread maker provides the best value for money when it comes to features?

For me personally, it has to be a close tie between Tweethunter and Typefully. Both have similar core features. Typefully is stronger in terms of UX, the detail of metrics, having the ability to unroll threads, as well as having your own profile of your tweets (like a mini blog). However, Tweethunter has an inspiration library of 2million+ tweets, as well as an ability to add users who engaged with your posts into lists. So, you can use Twitter as your CRM. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Do any of these thread scheduling tools have integrations with other platforms?

There are three that I have mentioned, which are Queue, OneUpApp and Hypefury. Queue integrates directly with Notion. Then, OneUpApp and Hypefury are like many of the other social media scheduling tools that let you publish content across other social networks.
