Publishing workflows

Affordable scheduling

A cheap social media scheduler priced by accounts, not seats

CrossPostingPal Starter covers four social accounts for one low monthly price. Pro covers 10 and Unlimited removes the account cap. You pick a plan by how many accounts you publish to, not by channel, seat or brand.

A practical publishing example

Creator stack: Instagram + TikTok + X + Bluesky. That is 4 connected accounts, which fits CrossPostingPal Starter at $4.99/month.

Available destinations

  • Instagram
  • TikTok
  • X
  • Bluesky
  • Mastodon
  • Dribbble

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

One more account should not push you into a business plan.

Count accounts, not features

List the accounts you post to each week. That number decides your plan: 4 on Starter, 10 on Pro, no cap on Unlimited.

What the low price leaves out

CrossPostingPal has no shared inbox, client approvals, competitor reports or RSS automation. If you need those, a pricier suite is the better buy.

Networks decide the rest

CrossPostingPal connects Instagram, TikTok, X, Bluesky, Mastodon and Dribbble. LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, YouTube and Pinterest are not available for new connections on any plan.

Questions before you switch

What is the cheapest CrossPostingPal plan?
Starter: $4.99/month, or $44.91/year, for 4 connected social accounts on any supported network.
Is there a free plan?
No permanent free plan. You get a 3-day trial without a credit card and a 7-day money-back guarantee after you pay. If 3 channels and a small queue are enough, Buffer Free is a real option.
When is CrossPostingPal not the cheapest choice?
When Buffer Free covers your needs, or when you need LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads or YouTube. CrossPostingPal cannot publish there on any plan.
Are there post limits?
Posting is subject to fair-use and each network’s own limits. Upgrading raises your account allowance only.

Pay for the accounts you publish to. Nothing else.
