Is it safe to connect Bluesky with an App Password?

App Passwords are how Bluesky lets third-party apps connect. They are separate from your login password, and you can revoke one in Bluesky settings at any time; that disconnects CrossPostingPal.

Can I schedule Bluesky threads?

Not today. CrossPostingPal schedules single Bluesky posts with text, images or a video. Publish multi-post threads in the Bluesky app.

Do I pay per Bluesky account?

No per-channel pricing. Starter ($4.99/month) covers 4 connected accounts on any supported network, Pro ($9.99/month) covers 10 and Unlimited ($29.99/month) removes the account cap. Fair-use and Bluesky’s own limits apply.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The 3-day trial needs no credit card, so you can schedule a real Bluesky post and check the result first.

Publishing workflows

Bluesky scheduling

Bluesky scheduler for posts, images and video

Connect your Bluesky handle with an App Password, write the post, add up to four images or one video and pick a time. CrossPostingPal publishes it to Bluesky, and to X or Mastodon if you select them too.

Example workflow, not a live post. Format and account requirements apply.

Your audience reads Bluesky at 9 a.m. You are busy at 9 a.m.

Connect with an App Password

Create an App Password in your Bluesky settings and connect with your handle. CrossPostingPal never asks for your main password, and revoking the App Password in Bluesky disconnects CrossPostingPal.

Images and video within Bluesky limits

Attach up to four images of 1 MB each, or one video up to 50 MB in MP4, MPEG, WebM or MOV. The composer shows these limits before you schedule.

One post for X and Mastodon too

Select X and Mastodon on the same post. Bluesky allows 300 characters, so write for the shortest destination you choose.

CrossPostingPal Starter: $4.99/month
Buffer Free: Covers 3 of the 4 channels
SocialPilot Essentials: $30/month (7 accounts)

Buffer’s paid price depends on your channel count; check its calculator for the fourth channel.
