Twilert review

Twilert monitors Twitter searches and emails matching tweets to you, either on a schedule or in near-real time, depending on your plan. It is built for tracking brand mentions, finding customer questions and spotting business opportunities—not for managing every part of a social media program.

You create searches for keywords, brands, hashtags, accounts or conversations. Boolean operators can narrow results, monitor specific users or exclude terms, and a map interface lets you filter searches by location. You can send alerts to predefined email groups, run multiple searches and return to tweets captured in your search history.

The plan you choose determines how many alerts you can run, how often they update and how much email they can deliver. The free plan sends a daily alert; paid plans start at $9 per month. Twilert’s value is straightforward: get relevant Twitter activity into an inbox without repeatedly checking searches yourself.

Twilert’s main strength is keeping Twitter monitoring simple and email-based. Teams that want alerts rather than another dashboard can set up searches for brands, terms or accounts and route matching tweets to the people who need to act on them. Boolean search and location filters give users ways to narrow results, while search history lets them return to tweets already captured.

The scheduling options cover different monitoring needs. Solopreneur lists weekly, daily and hourly scheduling. Professional and Agency list updates every five minutes, which Twilert describes as near-real-time. Email groups can help route alerts to predefined recipients, and Agency includes white-labeling for client work.

The entry price is relatively easy to assess: according to the pricing information, Solopreneur costs $9 per month for five alerts and up to 3,600 emails. Professional costs $19 per month and raises the limits to 20 alerts and up to 172,800 delivered emails, with searchable history, RSS/JSON feeds and 50,000 tweets stored per alert. For a team with a clear monitoring job, those stated limits make the choice easier to compare.

The caps matter more than the headline price. Solopreneur is limited to five alerts and up to 3,600 emails, and its listed schedule tops out at hourly. If several people need frequent coverage across many searches, that plan may be too restrictive. Professional raises the limits, but costs $19 per month and caps stored tweets at 50,000 per alert.

Agency is $97 per month for 100 alerts, up to 864,000 delivered emails and 10 users. It also lists 50,000 stored tweets per alert and five-minute updates. That is a sizeable jump from Professional, so teams should check whether they need the extra alerts, email volume, users or white-labeling before paying for it.

The free plan is described as a daily alert that can track any topic, term, hashtag or account, but its alert and email caps are not published on the vendor's site. Annual billing and free-trial terms are also not stated. We’d confirm those points—and estimate expected alert volume—before choosing a plan.

Twilert has a free daily-alert plan, then paid plans at $9, $19, and $97 per month, according to its pricing page. The free plan tracks any topic, term, hashtag, or account, but its email and alert caps are not published here.

Solopreneur costs $9 monthly for 5 alerts and up to 3,600 emails, with weekly, daily, and hourly scheduling. Professional is $19: that is $10 more for 20 alerts, up to 172,800 delivered emails, 50,000 stored tweets per alert, five-minute updates, searchable history, and RSS/JSON feeds.

Agency jumps to $97 per month, $78 above Professional. It raises the cap to 100 alerts and 864,000 emails, includes 10 users, and retains the 50,000-tweet storage limit per alert and five-minute updates. The pricing details list no add-ons. Prices are monthly; annual billing and any annual discount are not stated. Check the email cap against your recipient volume before upgrading.

Twilert monitors Twitter searches and sends matching tweets by email, so switching in likely means setting up searches, schedules, and recipient groups again. That is an inference from the listed features; the available information does not describe an import tool or migration service. If you are moving from another social-listening product, Twilert is Twitter-focused, so it is not a like-for-like replacement for monitoring other networks.

Leaving may mean rebuilding those alerts elsewhere. Professional and Agency list searchable history, and Professional includes RSS/JSON feeds, but a general data-export feature or a way to transfer saved searches is not published. Check what history you need to retain before cancelling.

We can’t credibly say what tends to make users leave based on Reddit: no Reddit posts or comments were provided for this review. The clearest reasons to compare alternatives are a need for other social networks or documented data portability; those needs are not addressed in the published Twilert details.
