What they are

Audacity

Audacity is a free, open-source desktop application for recording, editing, and processing audio on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Podcasters, musicians, and voice-over artists use it to cut recordings, apply effects, and export to common formats. It covers the fundamentals well, though its interface feels dated compared to modern DAWs and it lacks native multi-track timeline editing for complex productions.

MailerLite

MailerLite is an email marketing platform covering newsletters, automations, landing pages, and sign-up forms. It suits indie creators, small newsletters, and course sellers who want a clean interface without paying enterprise prices. The free plan covers up to 1,000 subscribers, and paid plans start around $9 per month. Deliverability is solid, though the template editor can feel limiting compared to more design-focused competitors.
