What they are

CapCut

CapCut is ByteDance's free video editor built around short-form content workflows. It handles trimming, captions, transitions, and green screen in a mobile-first interface that also runs in the browser. Widely used by TikTok and Reels creators for its auto-caption and template features.

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.
