Find a competitor’s users on X

By DROP · Published 2026-09-17 · Updated 2026-09-27

Find people already using or considering a rival on X, so you can talk to demand that already exists.

Short answer. A competitor’s users are people publicly using, recommending, questioning, or leaving that product. DROP finds them from the rival’s site or handle, not from your mention stream.

Their users are a different search than your mentions

Your own brand search finds people who already know you. A competitor search finds people whose current tool, complaint, or comparison is already public.

Do not search a generic company name

Short names collide. DROP should start from the product URL and handle. If two products share a name, the site is the identity.

Talk to the original post

Cards open the original post. The point is a real person and a real sentence, not a count of “users found.”

Try it step by step

1. Start with a specific competitor URL rather than a category-wide list of companies.
2. Read posts for first-person use, questions about replacing the tool and concrete workflow details.
3. Keep the evidence and source link with your notes. Do not label a person a customer solely because they named the brand.
