What they are

CapCut

CapCut is a free video editor built for short-form content, covering trimming, transitions, captions, and AI-generated effects across mobile and desktop. It is the go-to tool for TikTok creators, though ByteDance owns it, which is a real consideration for creators concerned about data privacy or platform risk. The free tier is generous, and a Pro subscription unlocks additional assets and AI features.

Kajabi

Kajabi is an all-in-one platform where creators build and sell online courses, membership sites, coaching programs, and digital products. It combines a website builder, email marketing, checkout, and basic analytics under one subscription. Solo creators and small teams use it to avoid stitching together multiple tools. The trade-off is that each individual feature tends to be shallower than a dedicated specialist tool.
