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.

Thinkific

Thinkific is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, membership sites, and digital communities. It suits independent educators, coaches, and small teams who want a dedicated course home without stitching together separate tools. The course builder is straightforward, though the platform's customization ceiling is lower than fully self-hosted alternatives, and transaction fees disappear only on paid plans.
