What they are

Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.

Memberful

Memberful is a membership platform that lets creators sell paid subscriptions, gated content, and newsletters without moving their audience to a third-party hub. It integrates tightly with WordPress and connects to Stripe for payments, so creators keep their brand and their customer relationships. The flat monthly fee plus a small transaction cut makes costs predictable, though high-volume creators should do the math carefully.
