Crowdfire vs Statusbrew
Last updated 4 June 2026
Crowdfire's social media app shut down in 2025, so this is here for the record rather than as a recommendation. In its day it leaned on content curation, surfacing articles and images to share, plus scheduling, light analytics, and the follower management it started life with as JustUnfollow.

Statusbrew leads with engagement: a unified inbox and a rule engine that auto-moderates comments, plus publishing, social listening, and reporting that holds 18 months of data. Plans are flat, from $69 a month on annual billing, with a separate agency option at $49 per client.
