What every comparison has in common
- Crossposter is free and open source, runs entirely in your browser and never connects to your accounts – it uses the sites you're already logged into.
- Personal and private accounts work, because Crossposter fills each site's own composer rather than going through a business API.
- No scheduling. Posts go out when you click Post, while your browser is open.
- One account per platform at a time. To post to a second account on the same site, switch accounts there and crosspost again.
- No analytics, inbox or team features. Crossposter is a posting tool, not a management suite.
