1What Catch The Good Ones does
What is Catch The Good Ones?
Catch The Good Ones notifies you when high value people signal interest on X. Describe who matters to you in plain English - our AI finds them in the followers and likers of any public account. Instead of "312 new followers," you see "a brand director at Lululemon with 89K followers just followed you." Strike while the iron is hot.
How is Catch The Good Ones different from Twitter Analytics?
X Analytics tells you aggregate numbers - impressions, engagements, follower counts. Catch The Good Ones tells you who the specific people are: their job, seniority, personality, and how relevant they are to you. It is the difference between "1,200 new followers" and "a VP of Engineering at a Series B startup followed you today."
Can Catch The Good Ones track any public X account?
Yes. You can track any public X account - your own, a competitor's, an industry leader's - without needing to connect your own X account. Just enter the public handle you want to monitor.
What tool identifies who follows me on Twitter?
Catch The Good Ones identifies who follows you on X and classifies each new follower by job title, personality attributes, skills, gender, and follower tier using AI. It syncs your new followers daily, filters out bots, and shows you only the people who match your criteria.
What tool shows who liked my tweet?
Catch The Good Ones finds your fastest-growing post each day and identifies who liked it. Each liker is classified by job title, personality, and influence level - so you know whether a like came from a brand director or a bot.
How does the AI classification work?
Every person who follows or likes your content is analysed across several dimensions: gender, job category, job role, personality attributes, and skills. The AI uses profile bios and recent posts to classify each person. You can describe who you're looking for in plain English - like "female tech founders with 10K+ followers" - and the AI maps that to filters automatically.
2Compared to other tools
What is the best audience intelligence tool for X?
It depends on what you need. For identifying who specifically is following and engaging with you - classified by job title, personality, and skills - Catch The Good Ones is the only tool that does this. SparkToro is better for understanding what your audience reads and watches. Followerwonk is better for demographic breakdowns and bio search. Audiense is better for enterprise audience segmentation.
Is Catch The Good Ones a SparkToro alternative?
They solve different problems. SparkToro shows what your audience cares about at the aggregate level (which podcasts they listen to, which websites they visit). Catch The Good Ones shows you who specifically just followed you or liked your post, classified by job title and personality. SparkToro is audience research; Catch The Good Ones is engagement identity intelligence.
Is Catch The Good Ones a Followerwonk alternative?
Followerwonk tracks follower counts, searches bios, and shows demographic data like geography. Catch The Good Ones goes further - it classifies each new follower by job title, personality, and skills using AI, and lets you search for specific types of people using natural language. Followerwonk shows you everyone; Catch The Good Ones shows you who matters.
How is this different from Sprout Social or Hootsuite?
Sprout Social and Hootsuite manage your social media - publishing, scheduling, responding, reporting. They tell you aggregate metrics like engagement rates. Catch The Good Ones doesn't help you post or reply, but when Sprout tells you "47 people liked your post," we tell you which 3 of those 47 are worth your attention. They complement each other.
What is the best tool to track competitor Twitter followers?
Catch The Good Ones lets you track any public X account, including competitors. When someone follows or engages with a competitor's content, they're classified by job title, personality, and influence level. You can set different search criteria per account - e.g. "investors" on a competitor and "brand partners" on your own account.
3How it works
Do I need to connect my own X account?
No. You just enter the public X handle you want to track - no login or account connection required. Catch The Good Ones monitors public accounts on your behalf using app-level API access.
How quickly will I see results after adding an account?
Your first results appear within minutes. We immediately run a day 1 snapshot pulling up to 500 of the most recent followers and classify them. Full classification - personality, job role, and skills - runs automatically as part of the same sync.
How often does Catch The Good Ones sync new followers?
Starter and Growth tiers sync once per day at a time you choose. Pro tier syncs up to 4 times per day at times you configure. Pro users can also trigger on-demand syncs whenever they want.
Can I search for specific types of people in my audience?
Yes. Describe who you're looking for in plain English - "female tech founders with 10K+ followers" or "male fitness influencers in the creator economy." The AI maps your description to filter dimensions and shows you matches from your synced followers.
Can I set different search criteria for different accounts?
Yes. Each tracked account can have its own search criteria. For example, you might look for "investors" on a competitor's account and "brand partners" on your own account. Results are filtered separately per account.
4Pricing and plans
How much does Catch The Good Ones cost?
Catch The Good Ones uses per-account pricing. Each tracked X account is billed at the tier you choose - Starter, Growth, or Pro. You can mix tiers across accounts. All tiers include AI classification and natural language search.
What does "per account" pricing mean?
Each tracked X account is billed separately at the tier you choose. For example, 2 accounts on Growth costs twice the monthly Growth rate. You can mix tiers - track one account on Starter and another on Pro.
Is there a free tier?
You can sign up for free, add a tracked account, and set up your AI search filters - no credit card required. To run scans and see results, choose a paid plan. All plans include AI classification, natural language search, and daily syncs.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no contracts and no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings and your subscription runs until the end of the period you have already paid for.
5Privacy and data
Is my data secure?
Yes. We never log passwords, tokens, or personal information. All payments are processed by Stripe - we never see or store your card details. We only access publicly available data from X.
How is gender classified? Can it be wrong?
Gender is inferred from pronoun usage, name data, profile text, and profile photos. It is a best-effort inference and will sometimes be incorrect. A note to that effect is shown on every person card. We never claim certainty.
What data do you collect about followers?
We access only publicly available data from X - profile name, handle, bio, follower count, verified status, and recent public posts. This is the same data anyone can see by visiting the profile on X.
