Waiting for your review
The useful question is not “How cheap is one AI draft?” It is “What did the team need to check before it was safe to publish?”

Inbox · One accountable queue
Bring supported conversations into a shared queue, prioritise what is overdue and keep every assignment, draft and send attached to one operator timeline.
Content intelligence
Growth Story, Post X-rays and stable patterns show what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain and what to try next.
Guided brand setup
Bring a website, publicly readable profiles or brand documents. Aboveboard turns them into an evidence-linked proposal you can edit before it changes the saved brand.
Website URL 2 credits · document 2 credits · public profile 1 credit · 10-credit assisted-run maximum
Add only what represents the brand today. A short note can guide the analysis; each run is capped at 10 credits.

The gap between listening and publishing
A calendar can hold a finished post. A text generator can fill an empty box. Neither tells you which conversation deserves your attention, what evidence is safe to rely on or who should sign off before your name appears underneath it.
Aboveboard connects discovery, drafting, approval, publishing and supported learning in one workflow. A supported pattern can start the next draft without hiding the evidence behind it.
Without a signal
Teams publish because Tuesday is empty, then hunt for a topic to fill it. The result is more output, not necessarily a more useful presence.
Without a stop
A plausible sentence can still be off-brand, unsupported or mistimed. The faster the workflow moves, the more important the review boundary becomes.
The Aboveboard approach
Aboveboard connects work that normally lives in separate tabs: cited research, Post ideas, Conversations, Rising, brand-aware drafting, policy review, approval and publishing.
Explore the productOne accountable workflow
Each stage leaves evidence for the next one. You can see why an idea was selected, what informed the draft, which rule caught a problem and who approved the final version.
Bring current, cited evidence and supported conversations into Post ideas, Conversations and Rising. Strong, current evidence stays distinct from secondary or older matches; Saved keeps the work you choose.
Your brand brief sets the voice and boundaries. The draft is shaped for the selected platform, keeps its sources nearby and shows its cost before the work runs.
Edit, request changes, reject or approve. Brand-rule checks stay visible, and only work a reviewer has approved reaches the calendar.
Eligible newly published media is analyzed on paid plans. Aboveboard labels the explanation measured, derived, estimated or absent, then carries a supported pattern into your next reviewed draft.
Designed for judgement
Aboveboard is built around the moments where context matters: choosing a signal, checking the evidence and deciding whether a draft should carry your name.
01 · Research with receipts
Bring current cited research and supported conversations into Post ideas, Conversations and Rising. Aboveboard shows why a signal may deserve action, then keeps its source or thread context linked.
“How should a small team review AI content before publishing?”
Reason shown before draft generation
A useful approval process does more than fix punctuation. It checks the source, the claim and whether the idea sounds like the person publishing it.
02 · A real approval boundary
Editors can research, generate and revise. Reviewers can approve and publish. Brand rules flag restricted topics or unsupported claims before the work reaches the calendar.
Inbox · One accountable queue
Bring supported conversations into a shared queue, prioritise what is overdue and keep every assignment, draft and send attached to one operator timeline.
You decide what sends
03 · Costs you can inspect
A relevance check should not cost the same as a research run. Credits follow the work involved, while publishing to platforms without an action fee remains free.
See every credit cost04 · Feedback that travels
Approval choices and publishing results feed the next round of work, so your brief evolves from evidence rather than guesswork.
Growth intelligence
Every attribution is labeled measured, derived or estimated; an unsupported shift stays unexplained. A supported pattern becomes the starting point for the next draft.

One workflow, native formats
Connect through each platform’s supported method, draft for the format and keep one review queue across every account.
Publishing to 8 platforms has no action charge. X publishing uses credits because its API charges per post, with the cost shown before you publish.
Compare platform capabilitiesPlatform-native creation
Start from one shared brief, then adapt copy, media order and supported native options for each destination. Every channel version keeps its own preview and approval state.
Exact formats and publishing availability follow each platform’s official API, account permissions and release status.
Built around the reviewer
The approval boundary stays the same. Who researches, who drafts and who gives the final answer can change with the way you work.
Creators & experts
Turn the ideas and conversations closest to your expertise into useful drafts without outsourcing your point of view.

Questions
Aboveboard connects the work before and after the draft. It watches trusted sources and public conversations, ranks opportunities, researches the useful ones, drafts against your brand rules, holds the result for approval, publishes it and reads back what happened. The evidence and the person making the final decision stay in the workflow.
Yes. Choose evidence-assisted setup or a no-credit manual path. Assisted setup reads a website, PDF, text or Markdown document, or a supported, publicly readable profile, then proposes an editable brand profile and campaign direction. Every supported suggestion shows its source, quote and confidence. On first setup, unsupported fields remain for you to complete; on Refresh, they retain their saved values. You see the quote before credits are spent, and your brand changes only after you review and Save.
A credit is a small unit of metered work. A relevance check costs 1 credit, a reply costs 2, a post draft costs 4, and a research run costs 8. Charging by action means a quick check is not billed like a full research-and-drafting run.
Free includes 60 credits, 1 connected channel and the complete workflow. That is roughly 15 post drafts if you spend every credit on drafts, or a mix of relevance checks, replies, drafts and research. No card is required.
X charges per post through its API and charges more for a link post. Publishing to the other 8 supported platforms has no action charge. Aboveboard shows the X cost before publishing instead of spreading it across every customer’s plan.
Credits included with a plan reset each month. Extra credits you purchase do not expire.
Metered actions stop rather than silently charging you. You can buy extra credits at $0.03 each or wait for the monthly reset. Work already approved and scheduled is not cancelled merely because the credit balance reaches zero.
No. Drafts remain in review until a person with reviewer permission approves them. Editors can research, generate and revise without receiving the permission to publish.
No. Aboveboard can shape one approved idea for the format and constraints of each of the 9 supported platforms. Each version remains visible for review before publishing.
Aboveboard does not use customer posts, drafts or brand briefs to train its models. The privacy policy explains which service providers process data to return requested features.
No. Normal channel connections use the authentication method supported by the platform. High-volume X customers may choose to bring their own X developer credentials when that is more economical.
Start with one channel
The Free plan includes the complete loop on 1 channel: sources, opportunities, drafts, review and publishing. Use the included 60 credits for roughly 15 post drafts, or mix smaller actions. No card required.
