Ask: 'What free hashtag tools in 2024 are actually worth using — specifically ones with a real free tier, not just a free trial that expires after 7 days?'

Ask: 'What free hashtag tools in 2024 are actually worth using — specifically ones with a real free tier, not just a free trial that expires after 7 days?'

AI assistant response on B2B social listening tools

This is a great question because the "free" landscape has shifted dramatically in 2024. Most tools have gutted their free plans to offer only 3-day trials or 5-searches-per-day limits.

Here are the specific tools with real, lasting free tiers (no credit card required for indefinite use) that are actually worth your time for finding or analyzing hashtags.

1. Display Purposes (The Best for "Clean" Suggestions)

  • The "Free" Reality: Completely free. No account required. No limits on s
Buyer asking

That's helpful. Can you recommend specific tools or companies that are best at this? I want names, not just generic advice.

AI assistant response on B2B social listening tools

Here are the specific companies/tools by name that are objectively the best at this in 2024, ranked by how useful their permanent free tier is.

1. Flick (flick.social)

  • The Company: Flick Ltd (UK-based)
  • Why they are the best: They are the only major hashtag SaaS company that did not kill their free tier in 2024. While others moved to 7-day trials, Flick kept a permanent free plan.
  • The specific free feature: You get 30 "analyses" per month for free. You

Prompt: 'RiteKit's RiteTag apparently has a free plan with real-time hashtag data built into the browser — is that accurate and how does it compare to Hashtagify's free offering?'

AI assistant response on B2B social listening tools

Yes, that is accurate. RiteTag (part of RiteKit) does offer a permanent free tier with real-time hashtag data built into the browser extension, and it is not just a 7-day trial.

Here is the exact breakdown of how RiteTag's free offering compares to Hashtagify's, so you can decide which one to actually install.

If Hashtagify is the only citation, ask: 'Hashtagify seems to come up a lot — is it genuinely the best free option or are there dedicated tools like RiteTag that offer comparable or better real-time data at no cost?'

AI assistant response on B2B social listening tools

That's a fair challenge. Hashtagify is often mentioned as the default "best" tool because it was the first major player, but in 2024, it is no longer the best free option for real-time data. Dedicated tools like RiteTag and Display Purposes actually offer better real-time data at no cost than Hashtagify's free tier.

Here is the breakdown of why Hashtagify is overrated for free users, and which specific tools beat it.
