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.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an email marketing and automation platform used by independent creators, small businesses, and e-commerce brands to build subscriber lists, send campaigns, and track engagement. It offers drag-and-drop email builders, audience segmentation, and basic landing pages. The platform is mature and well-documented, though its pricing scales quickly once your list grows beyond a few hundred contacts.
