Freebie swaps on Roster

Swap freebies with creators
your audience will actually like.

A freebie swap is simple: you promote their free resource to your list, they promote yours to theirs. Roster helps you find the right partner and keeps the details from getting lost in DMs.

Freebie swaps FAQ

What is a freebie swap?

You promote a partner's free resource to your email list, and they promote yours to theirs. Both lists grow without any ad spend.

Is it free to join a swap?

Yes. Browsing and applying are free. A Collab plan adds messaging, connections and the tools for managing your swaps.

Do I need a paid plan to post a swap?

Posting a swap needs the Host plan ($29/mo), with a 14-day free trial. Your first opportunity post is free, so you can try it before upgrading.

Does Roster send the emails for me?

No. Roster helps you find a partner, agree on dates and draft your emails. You send them from your own email platform.

What if a swap does not work out?

Either partner can close the match from the swap hub, and it moves out of your active list.
