What they are

Pixlr

Pixlr is a web and mobile photo editor that covers everything from quick retouches to layered compositions, running entirely in the browser with no download required. It attracts social media creators, bloggers, and small-business owners who need Photoshop-adjacent tools without the Adobe subscription cost. The free tier is functional but ad-supported and now leans heavily on AI features that push users toward paid plans. At $1.99 per month the entry plan is genuinely affordable, though the feature set per tier can feel inconsistently gated.

tl;dv

tl;dv auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls as a bot, then records, transcribes in 30-plus languages, and generates AI summaries and action items. Sales, customer success, and product teams use it to capture decisions and sync outcomes directly to CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Its multi-meeting intelligence sets it apart from single-call recorders: you can query patterns across hundreds of past calls at once. The free plan has real caps on AI notes and integration credits that are easy to hit fast.
