Posting together, without sharing logins

Friends by link or by email

Send an invite link or an email; you become friends when they accept. Collab itself is free on every plan, and nobody shares a password or an account.

Shared drafts with a history

Share a draft as view-only or editable. Friends can edit the text, every edit is kept in the draft's history, and only you publish it, on your own accounts.

Instagram collaborators

When you publish a shared draft to Instagram, up to 3 friends who have their own Instagram connected and allow tagging are invited as collaborators. Instagram sends the invite; if it refuses, the post still goes out without them.

@mentions added for you

On X, Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon, Compose adds your friends' handles to that platform's caption. You see them under each account and remove any with one click; on Bluesky they become real mentions.

Tagging stays your friend's choice

Every friend has a may-tag-me switch. Turned off, or after unfriending, they are left out of new collaborators and mentions, checked again at the moment a post publishes.

How it works

  1. 1

    Invite a friend

    From Collab, copy an invite link or send it by email.

  2. 2

    Share a draft

    Pick a draft and share it view-only or editable; edits land in its history.

  3. 3

    Publish together

    Publish or schedule it: collaborators and mentions are added where your friends allow.

Frequently asked questions

Does my friend need a Crosspost account?

Yes, to accept the invite and edit shared drafts. A free account is enough; Collab is free on every plan.

Who publishes a collab post?

You, the owner of the draft. Friends can edit its text; publishing stays with you, on your accounts.

How do Instagram collaborators work?

When you publish, Crosspost asks Instagram to invite up to 3 of your friends as collaborators. Each friend needs their own Instagram connected in Crosspost and accepts the invite inside Instagram.

Can friends change the images?

No. Shared drafts take text edits only; the images and the accounts stay yours.

Can I stop friends tagging me?

Yes. Turn off the may-tag-me switch for a friend, or unfriend them, and you are left out of their new posts' collaborators and mentions.

How much does it cost?

Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial (card required, cancel anytime): Pro $29, Power $49 or Studio $199 a month. Prefer no subscription?
