Crux compared / Hypefury
Looking for a Hypefury alternative on π?
Hypefury built its name on π scheduling and automation. Its own pricing page now says it no longer supports π, and lists Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok instead. Here is what that leaves, and where Crux fits.
Updated
Hypefury no longer supports π: its pricing page FAQ says so plainly, and its channel list now covers Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok. If you post on π, Hypefuryβs scheduler, Autoplugs and auto-reposts no longer cover that account. Crux (cruxpost.com) is not a replacement scheduler: it posts only the drafts it writes from your work, and only what you schedule, on Autopilot. What it does for π is measure: it reads your whole post history from your archive or a read-only import, compares each post with the posts published around it, and reports the hooks, formats, topics and posting times that do better or worse than usual for you, only when the pattern passes a test against chance.
What Hypefury is
Hypefury presents itself as social media scheduling and automation for creators: build an audience, grow an email list and sell products. Its pricing page describes a single plan in two forms, Flexible (per channel) and Full (all channels), each with a free trial of 7 days and no credit card required, and says there is no longer a free plan.
Its features centre on repurposing and automation: a distraction-free editor, a gallery of best-performing posts for inspiration, turning text posts into Instagram images, reels, TikTok videos or LinkedIn carousels, Autoplugs that comment your offer under posts that do well, AutoDMs for Instagram, auto reposts and evergreen posts, an engagement builder for replying to watched users and keywords, and AI trained on your posts.
Crux and Hypefury, side by side
| Feature | Crux | Hypefury |
|---|---|---|
| Posts to π for you | Only what you schedule, on Autopilot. Sign-in is read-only (tweet.read, users.read, offline.access). Drafts wait in your Inbox: Post on π copies one and opens π with it, for you to post. | Not to π: its pricing page FAQ says Hypefury no longer supports π. It schedules to its five other channels. |
| Automations | None. No auto-retweet, auto-plug, auto-DM or auto-delete. | Autoplugs (auto first comment), AutoDMs for Instagram, auto reposts, evergreen and recurring posts. |
| Analytics | Each post against the median of the 20 posts nearest it in time, grouped by hook, format, topic, weekday and 3-hour slot. | Like and retweet counts, follower growth and profile clicks, and which posts had the best engagement, impressions and profile clicks. |
| Tests patterns against chance | Yes. A group of at least 5 posts is reported only when it falls outside 500 random draws of your own posts. | Not stated on their site |
| Reads your full post history | Yes. Your π archive (a .zip up to 500 MB, or just the text files), or a read-only import through π. | Imports posts you publish outside Hypefury into its content history daily, on its premium plan. |
| AI writing | Drafts in your voice from your commits, merged pull requests and releases, and when you ask, from a free model through OpenRouter, checked against your own rules. Other peopleβs posts are never sent to it. | AI trained on your posts that generates posts that sound like you. |
| Networks | π only. | Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok. Not π. |
| Price and trial | Pro is $19 a month or $180 a year ($15 a month), and the launch deal is Pro for life for $49 once, for the first 100 buyers. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial of Pro that needs no card. When it ends without a paid plan, the account is read-only: you can still see, download or delete your data, and choose a plan. Cancel anytime. | Flexible: 6 USD a month per channel. Full: 19 USD a month with all channels. A free trial of 7 days, no card required; no free plan. |

The difference that matters
Crux never replies, likes, follows, retweets or sends a message on your account, and signing in asks X only for read-only permissions. Crux posts only what you schedule, on Autopilot.
Most people searching for a Hypefury alternative on π want their scheduling back. Crux is not a general scheduler: on Autopilot it posts the drafts it writes from your work, at a time you pick or a best time tested on your own posts, and nothing else. If you need a scheduler for everything you post, look at one that lists π on its own site; Typefully and Tweet Hunter both did when we checked.
What Crux can do is the part scheduling never answered: which of the posts you have been scheduling for years actually worked. It reads your whole π archive, not only what went through a scheduler, so posts you wrote by hand count too.
If you used Hypefury for π
Your posts are still yours on π. To analyse everything you published, including what went out through Hypefury, request your π archive: on π, open Settings and privacy, then Your account, then Download an archive of your data. Crux reads that archive directly, so it does not matter which tool published a post.
For a full scheduler you will need another tool. Crux can tell you what to write and when your posts tend to do better, and on Autopilot it posts the drafts you schedule, but it has no queue, recycling or automations.
