Why Not Hootsuite, Buffer, or a Twitter Tool

What this means for you

The big social suites (Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social) don’t support Bluesky yet, and the Twitter-specific tools (Followerwonk, Twitonomy) never will. The honest competitor is “build your own dashboard against the AT Protocol” — and almost nobody does.

The pitch

A Bluesky-native tool that ships today beats a Twitter tool that might add Bluesky in a year. Skyflow reads AT Protocol directly, scores the four signals that matter, and costs $5 instead of $99.

Who it’s for

A Bluesky-active marketer asked to “use the same tool the team already pays for” who wants a one-paragraph answer for why that tool can’t do this.

Proof points

• Hootsuite Pro starts at $99/month and lists no Bluesky integration as of 2026
• Followerwonk and Twitonomy are Twitter-only — neither has shipped AT Protocol support
• Skyflow Lift is $5/month — under the impulse-buy line, less than Spotify
• Self-host option exists (open-core, MIT license) — no Bluesky competitor offers that
