What they are

Canva

Canva is a browser-based design tool with a large library of templates covering thumbnails, social media graphics, presentations, and short-form video. The free tier is genuinely usable; the Pro plan adds background removal, brand kits, and a content scheduler. Dominant in the creator space as a Photoshop alternative that requires no design training.

Metricool

Metricool is a social media management platform that covers scheduling, analytics, and competitor tracking across major networks including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Freelancers, agencies, and small business owners use it to plan content and pull client reports without juggling multiple tools. The free plan is genuinely usable, though it caps brand connections and historical data depth.
