What they are

Beehiiv

Beehiiv is a newsletter platform designed specifically for independent writers and media operators who want to grow, monetize, and analyze their email audience without juggling multiple tools. It includes a built-in ad network, paid subscription tiers, referral programs, and detailed subscriber analytics in one place. The free plan is genuinely useful, though meaningful monetization and advanced analytics require a paid tier.

Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.
