What they are

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.

Patreon

Patreon is a membership platform where creators charge fans a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, community access, or perks. Podcasters, artists, writers, and video creators use it to build a predictable income stream outside ad revenue. It takes a percentage cut of earnings rather than charging an upfront fee, which makes entry easy but gets expensive at scale.
