CollabGPS has introduced a new badge system for user verification, offering professional badges in five categories. This update aims to provide established users with an additional method to verify their work and experience within the platform.

Verification Badge System Details

The new badge system, launched by CollabGPS, provides users with a way to verify their professional status. According to a representative, verified badges are now available in five distinct categories: content creator, performer, media/podcaster, social media (SFW), and production support. While ID verification is a prerequisite for creating a CollabGPS profile, this professional badge system offers an additional layer of verification for established users.

CollabGPS founder Ted Buras stated that some creators prefer to collaborate with individuals who have a proven track record. Buras also noted that the goal of the system is to provide users with more information and choice. He emphasized that CollabGPS is designed to support the entire team involved in content creation, including creators, performers, media professionals, camera operators, editors, and content managers.

The platform is built to facilitate connections and collaborations among content creators. CollabGPS aims to address the challenges creators face in finding collaborators on other social platforms, which are often designed for audience building rather than connection. The platform allows users to search, connect, plan, and securely share files, all within one application.

New creators are still able to join, network, and build connections as they enter the industry. The system is intended to enhance user comfort by allowing them to identify established professionals, without excluding new participants.

Platform Features and Purpose

CollabGPS is a collaboration platform developed by Daddy Media, LLC, specifically for content creators. It is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. The platform aims to simplify the process for creators to find collaborators, plan, and schedule collaborations and trips. It emphasizes simplicity, safety, and professionalism to help creators transform ideas into action.

Key features of CollabGPS include the "CollabCard," which serves as an all-in-one collaboration profile. Users can customize their CollabCard with various themes and colors, highlighting their creator experience, social links, and planned trips, while also building their collaboration network. The platform offers a grid tailored to user preferences and a tag system to help users locate individuals for specific content needs.

CollabGPS provides powerful scheduling tools for planning collaborations, allowing users to assign duties. It also includes features for planning trips, enabling users to appear on a "Visiting Soon Grid" in a specific city to initiate conversations before their arrival. The platform's chat tools organize conversations into categories such as General, Group, Trips, and Collabs.

Privacy tools are integrated to enhance user comfort. These tools allow users to go "Off the Grid" to avoid appearing to others, hide their location to prevent distance from being shown, and choose to accept or reject messages from individuals they have not yet interacted with.

Subscription Plans and Availability

CollabGPS offers two subscription plans: Basic and Premium. The Basic plan provides access to the local grid, two CollabCard themes, and collaboration scheduling. The Premium plan includes additional CollabCard themes, trip planning features, access to the Visiting Soon Grid, and optional ID verification with a checkmark indicator on the user's CollabCard, along with additional private albums.

The CollabGPS app was updated on September 12, 2026, and is categorized under Social Networking. It has an age rating of 18+ with in-app controls on the App Store. The app size is 126.9 MB. On Google Play, it has parental guidance recommended, indicating that users interact and share location, and has over 50 downloads.

The platform aims to solve the problem of creators struggling to find collaborators on existing platforms that are often noisy and distracting. CollabGPS is designed to connect creators with others who align with their interests and personal style, focusing on a straightforward approach to planning and working together.
