Free plan · No card required
Policy-first matching
Campaigns only reach accounts whose ad policy they pass — categories, keywords, advertisers, formats, minimum price, pacing and posting windows.
- Per-account policies
- Fit score: audience, engagement, price
- Eligible reach before launch
Approvals inbox
Every request lands in one inbox. Creators approve, decline or request changes — or let rules approve what fits.
- Manual, rules or auto
- Request changes on any caption
- Requests expire automatically
Escrowed payments
Advertisers fund a wallet. The price is reserved at approval, charged on publish and released to the creator on completion.
- Double-entry ledger
- Creator payouts via Stripe Connect
- Invoices for every charge
AI Studio & personas
Personas capture a brand's tone, audience and do's and don'ts. AI Studio writes captions, hashtags, scripts and ideas in that voice.
- Claude and GPT models
- Every generation logged
- Monthly credits + packs
Bring your own AI key
Add a key from OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, Together, Fireworks or Azure OpenAI and generations stop consuming Croud credits.
- Keys encrypted at rest
- Model choice per key and per run
- Optional fallback to credits
Formats & templates
Feed posts, carousels, Reels and Stories, with templates. Workspace controls can lock, draft-only or hide any of them.

Teams & roles
Run several brands or a creator roster in one workspace. Team-scoped access, custom roles and a full audit log.

API, webhooks & MCP
Everything in the app is in the API. Signed webhooks for every event, and an MCP server so AI agents can work alongside your team.

- OpenAPI 3.1 spec
Placement reporting
Reach, impressions, engagement, saves and spend for every placement, synced daily from Instagram and rolled up per campaign.

Creators decide first. Matching does the rest.
A campaign is only offered to accounts whose policy it passes. Advertisers see eligible reach and price before they launch; creators never see requests they'd decline.
Control
Four layers of control. One source of truth.
Formats and templates resolve from base to workspace. Each layer can only restrict the one above — and Croud shows exactly where every rule comes from.
- 01
Base
The formats and templates Croud supports, with their status — enabled, beta or deprecated.
- 02
Platform
Platform-wide availability and kill switches, managed by the Croud team.
- 03
Plan
Which formats, templates and features each tier includes — premium templates, BYOK, API, MCP.
- 04
Workspace
Enable, set to draft-only or hide any format or template for your brand. Each layer can only narrow the one above.
Enabled
Available to use and publish.
Draft only
Usable in drafts; can't be launched.
Disabled
Visible but locked, with the reason.
Hidden
Removed from the workspace entirely.
