Traditional Search Tools

  • The network's own firehose, for software vendors on Bluesky. Free and open, which is unusual and worth using while it lasts.
  • The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
  • Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
  • SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
  • Open the profiles. Find the accounts, read the numbers, write them down. Two minutes per brand per network, and completely accurate on the day you do it.
