What they are
Adobe Express
Adobe Express is a browser and mobile-based design tool for creating social graphics, short videos, PDFs, and branded content. It targets content creators, small business owners, and educators who need polished visuals without opening Photoshop. The free tier covers basic templates and assets, while the paid plan unlocks Adobe Stock access, premium templates, and generative AI features. The brand kit and one-click resize tools are genuinely useful for creators managing multiple platforms.
Gumroad
Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.
