CreatorHQ is the command center for creators who post everywhere — one place to plan, create, and stay on top of your whole presence instead of juggling a dozen apps. MISSION CONTROL Open the app and know exactly what to do. Your Creator Health score, Today's Mission, and Content Pipeline are on one screen, so you start the day with a plan instead of a scroll. AI COPILOT THAT LEARNS YOUR BRAND Build a knowledge base of your brand rules, FAQs, sponsor notes, and product facts once, and the Copilot uses it every time it drafts. Ask it anything about your content strategy, get an operating brief with recommended actions, and draft replies and content ideas in your own voice. Nothing is ever posted or sent without your review and your tap. CONTENT PIPELINE Track ideas, drafts, scheduled posts, and published work in one flow, with a calendar that keeps you consistent. UNIFIED INBOX — WHAT IT DOES TODAY Connect YouTube and your channel comments land in one inbox with AI-assisted replies; connect Bluesky or Mastodon and your mentions, replies, and quote posts join them — plus direct messages on Mastodon — with priority filters, an Inbox Health score, and the ability to reply to any of them without leaving CreatorHQ. Your inbox refreshes on its own in the background. As each remaining platform completes its API approval, its conversations join the same feed. No update required — they switch on inside the app. CROSS-PLATFORM ANALYTICS Follower and post counts from your connected accounts combine into one view, with a Creator Health score and plain-language AI Insights that tell you what's working. PLATFORM CONNECTIONS — WHERE EACH ONE STANDS CreatorHQ supports 20 platforms. Each one requires that platform's own API approval before we can switch it on, and that approval sits with them, not with us. We would rather tell you exactly where each one is than imply they all work today. Full two-way inbox now — read and reply: YouTube, Bluesky, and Mastodon. Account connection available now, with syncing switching on as we finish each integration: LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, Tumblr, Twitch, Patreon, and Etsy. In platform review: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Snapchat, Threads, Vimeo, WhatsApp Business, and Shopify. Connections still in review show as "Coming soon" in the app, so you always know where each one stands. SECURE BY DESIGN Every connection uses the platform's own official sign-in. CreatorHQ never sees or stores your platform passwords — only a limited, revocable access token. Disconnect any account instantly from Settings, and its synced data is removed with it. SUBSCRIPTIONS Three tiers — Creator Starter, Creator Pro, and Creator Elite — each with a one-time unlock plus a monthly subscription covering ongoing syncing, inbox, analytics, and AI. Starter connects up to 3 accounts, Pro up to 15, and Elite unlocks unlimited accounts plus brand kits, client workspaces, and team approval workflows for agencies and creator teams. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Full pricing in the app and at usecreatorhq.com/#pricing.
