What they are

Gumroad

Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.

Trint

Trint uses AI to transcribe audio and video files, then lets you edit the transcript as if it were a text document, with the media staying in sync. Journalists, podcasters, and video producers use it to speed up post-production and content repurposing. The transcript editor is genuinely well-designed, though the per-seat subscription cost makes it a harder sell for solo creators on a tight budget.
