The Problem
You know a single good swap can bring 50-500+ users at zero cost. But the process of finding the right partner? It's broken.
Scrolling through Twitter, IH, and Reddit hoping to find compatible hackers
Messages disappear into the void. No response. No results.
No way to know if their audience actually wants what you're building
Manually tracking clicks, signups, and who owes who a shoutout
Coordinating timelines, copy, and links across timezone chaos
They promised a mention. You delivered. They ghosted.
You should be building your product.
Not spending 10+ hours a month chasing down swap partners.
How It Works
Add your product, audience size, demographics, and what kind of partnerships you're looking for. Takes 2 minutes.
Our algorithm finds hackers with complementary audiences who don't compete with you. Like Tinder, but for growth.
Message directly with ready-made templates. Agree on the terms. No more chasing people across platforms.
Launch your cross-promo with auto-generated copy, UTM links, promo codes, and templates for every campaign type.
See exactly how many clicks, signups, and paying users each partnership brings. Know your ROI.

Newsletter swaps are just the beginning. IndieCollab supports every type of cross-promotion that actually moves the needle.

The Community Speaks
We didn't invent this pain. Indie hackers have been asking for a solution for years.
“I've been manually DMing people on Twitter for weeks trying to find newsletter swap partners. It's exhausting and most don't even reply.”
“Does anyone know a good way to find non-competing SaaS founders for cross-promotions? Spending way too much time on this.”
“Just did my first newsletter swap and got 200+ signups. Why isn't there a platform to find more partners like this??”
“The hardest part isn't the swap itself — it's finding someone whose audience actually overlaps with yours but doesn't compete.”
