What they are

MailerLite

MailerLite is an email marketing platform covering newsletters, automations, landing pages, and sign-up forms. It suits indie creators, small newsletters, and course sellers who want a clean interface without paying enterprise prices. The free plan covers up to 1,000 subscribers, and paid plans start around $9 per month. Deliverability is solid, though the template editor can feel limiting compared to more design-focused competitors.

OBS Studio

OBS Studio is a free, open-source tool for video recording and live streaming to platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live. It is used by gamers, podcasters, educators, and professional broadcasters who need granular control over their audio and video setup. The feature set rivals paid alternatives, but the interface has a steep learning curve that can frustrate beginners.
