FAQ
Common questions.
What is a subscriber swap?
A subscriber swap is when two newsletter creators each mention the other's newsletter to their respective lists. If even 2–5% of each audience crosses over, both newsletters gain relevant, organic subscribers — no ads, no cost. CrossDrop automates the matching so you spend minutes, not weeks, finding a good fit.
Is my data safe?
Yes. CrossDrop never shares or sells your subscriber data. We only use your niche and audience-size information to find compatible matches. You approve every swap before anything goes live — nothing happens without your explicit sign-off.
What do I get for $29?
Early Access gives you lifetime access to CrossDrop's matching engine, intro facilitation, and swap tracking — all for a one-time $29 payment. Once our first cohort fills, new signups will move to $49/mo. Early adopters lock in the one-time price forever.
