Starting from the basics, we all are taught to connect and interact with people on social media platforms in order to boost engagement and build relationships.
While this is a good practice, but in platforms like Twitter, we often develop a mass of people we follow but they eventually don’t follow us.
Having a lot of people who don’t follow us is not a good sign as twitter only allows you to follow only 2000 accounts more than the number of users who follow you.
If you are tired of unfollowing those non-followers manually or removing fake and inactive twitter profiles from time to time, this post will demonstrate the top 5 twitter unfollow tools to mass unfollow non-followers.

Why Should You Unfollow on Twitter?
Unfollowing on Twitter is most necessary when you are on it for a purpose. Here is why you are ethical when you unfollow twitter users:
- Unfollowing the non-followers will actually give you the chance to connect with more Twitter users. This is because you cannot follow more than 2000 people following you. It means if you don’t unfollow non-followers you are missing it out.
- You are always welcome to unfollow people who blast out tweets. This will help you lessen the clutter off your newsfeed.
- Unfollowing people not related or compatible with your business will make you have more time to concentrate with others who have enough opportunities for you.
Now let us see some of the tools that help you in the “unfollow clutter mission”
1. Crowdfire
Crowdfire of Codigami Inc. had been formerly known as justunfollowers. This revamped name added more features to this free Twitter management app but the unfollowers feature is as it was.
You can get rid of twitter accounts that are not following you and thus can keep your account clean. Crowdfire has dedicated android and IOS apps to help you clean your twitter profiles on the go.
The only drawback of this tool is it allows unfollowing only 25 followers daily which is quite low and could be time-consuming when you want to use only the free version.
2. ManageFlitter
This is a very reputed tool and has been featured in top social media blogs like buffer.
ManageFlitter has also a unique feature that lets you unfollow the most talkative twitter accounts you follow. This will help you to keep your twitter account noise free and concentrate on important twitter news feed.
One of the coolest features of manageflitter is it shows you the number of Twitter user you have followed.
That means if you see @moz it shows you the serial number at which you followed moz since the starting of your account. Not a necessity but cool!
It has many other visual pleasures and filters you would love once you log in.
3. Circleboom
Circleboom is a social media account management web application focuses on Twitter account management.
Circleboom helps the users to strengthen and grow their Twitter accounts by providing a set of tools including follow tools, unfollow tools, RSS feeds module, scheduled posts module, and in-depth analytics.

Circleboom has 4 main modules:

This module also provides a White-List submodule to prevent unwanted unfollow actions.
4. Analytics module provides some but not very technical stats about the account.

Formerly flush, the new twitter not following back option of tweepi is fast, precise and displays the exact synchronized list of most recent twitter accounts. You can easily use this to unfollow twitter users for free.

Hello Ankit,
Nice post to unfollow our twitter inactive followers. All tool are great and I like Tweetadder the most. Thanks Ankit for sharing this type of informative article with us. Keep posting
Have a nice day 🙂
Cheers
Hi Vishal,
Thanks for your comment. I am glad you liked it. Tweetadder is phenomenal but I like unfollowers.me as it is too fast and great UI. 🙂
Hi Ankit,
All tools which you mention her all are awesome tool for unfollow all non followers, but these tool having every day limitation, if you have big no of amount non follower users then you can’t unfollow these type non followers, by the way good article..

Mohd Arif
Thanks for commenting Arif. Instead of commenting what is not there I would have loved to read what tools you know and use.
Nice post! I’ve been looking for an easy-to-use tool to get rid of the inactive Twitter followers – awesome to have them compared and analyzed like this!
Hi Ankit,
You listed almost all of the top tools, although I think its now time to update your list Tweepi and Manageflitter should be at the top and I am not sure but I am experiencing tweetadder as if its not working now, I haven’t researched yet but I think so, between let me know if you anything about it.
Tweepi is a great tool, easy to use fast and time-saving because one can bulk unfollow users using it’s browser add-on “Tweepi Bulk Default Action”, also there is one cons about it, that if you have followers more than 60K its not free.
Manageflitter, awesome tools, pros option to unfollow users even in free account like unfollow “Non English users, who’s not follow you back, followers with no profile image, spammers, etc
Cons it takes time to load if you’ve lots of tweets followers and following in free account. like tweepi I don’t know its limit for twitter handle with lots of followers but I have 100K+ followers on twitter and its still letting me use the tool for free.
Nice post.
Thank you : )
Hi Ankit 🙂
Good to see your post, and that too an informative one, Ankit 🙂
Yes, we need to be careful about who we follow back on Twitter because of the limit there, and I think it makes sense too, or else each one would have a huge following to keep up with.
Speaking of myself, I do take care to check out each of the profiles before I follow back. Also, the few followers I’ve on my profile are the ones who’ve followed me first, so the choice is always in my hand to follow back or not, thus the numbers can be kept in control this way – rather than following back ALL those who follow you.
I’ve heard of most of the tools you mentioned, though have found Tweepi pretty quick and easy to use. Have yet to try some, though I think using any one is alright, if it suits the purpose of unfollowing the unfollowers mainly, isn’t it?
Thanks for sharing it with us as the ABC, Ankit. Happy weekend 🙂
Hi Ankit,
Interesting post, indeed! 🙂
I don’t even have an idea that there are tools to unfollow our non-follower. There is no tool I’ve ever used with. This is the first time I heard them, and this is an interesting idea.
Yes, I agree with you. I cannot be careless in following people. I chose carefully in this matter. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this with us, Ankit.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Ankit
Very informative post bringing the awareness to the tools that are available to un-follow non-followers. I gained a lot of knowledge here. I joined Twitter in 2012 and deleted my account in 2014 due to some spam issues that I was not initially aware of. I believe the spam issues came as a result of the very points you made in this post with following back some accounts with no profile pic, with the egg default gravatar or that were not credible etc. Was a huge lesson and I was not aware of the 2000 limit
I re-opened my new account in April this year and I am really more careful this time around. I am currently not using any un-follow tools [as yet] so thanks for sharing this post that I could make my selection from.
Hi Ankit,
This is a great post for maintaining your twitter account. I must say that you have shared great management tools. Recently I also discovered the tool that can help you auto-manage your blog Tweet. I mean marketing on twitter and making it spam free is becoming easy nowadays.
Thank You for this Post! Keep them coming.
Best Regards,
Saqib Ahmad
Tweepi is great Ankit. I have been using it for some time now. It also provided many other features like following the followers/friends of a certain individual. The pro version has extra features. I am really happy with this tool.

Hey Ankit, thanks for the post. I am a regular user of Crowdfire and I was not aware of the others tools available. I am planning to try those too.
Hey Ankit,
thank you for the Twitter Unfollow Tools roundup,
ManageFlitter is great – it is easy to use, loads quickly and pretty much does everything that is required from an unfollow tool.
From the other tools that you have mentined – socialbro is good and so is Tweetadder. However, one just need a single tool and I guess ManageFlitter is the better alternative,
I was unknown about this strategy and now with the help of this blog I came to knew and thanks for the post. I am a regular user of Crowdfire and i was not aware about the others tools available. I am planning to try those too.
Thanks nice post for twitter follower. I am using the “SocialBro” regularly thanks to include in this post.
SocialBro is one of the best Twitter tools. Glad you are using it. 🙂
