What they are
Captions
AI-first video editor focused on short-form content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Automatic captions, eye-contact correction, AI avatars, and one-tap video creation from a script.
Ko-fi
Ko-fi is a monetization platform where creators accept one-time donations, sell digital products, and offer paid memberships directly from their audience. It suits artists, writers, podcasters, and indie developers who want a lightweight income layer without surrendering a cut of every transaction. Free to use with no monthly fee. Ko-fi takes 0% on tips and donations, and 5% on shop sales, memberships, and commissions. Ko-fi Gold removes the 5% fee, although payment processors still take their standard slice. The trade-off is a thinner feature set compared to dedicated membership or course platforms.
