Vector and raster AI image generation for brand work
What they are
Podbean
Podbean is a podcast hosting platform that handles storage, distribution to major directories, and listener monetization from a single dashboard. Independent podcasters and small media teams use it to publish episodes, grow an audience, and earn revenue through ads, patron subscriptions, or premium content. The platform covers the full workflow well, though its analytics are less detailed than dedicated analytics tools and the free tier was removed, making it a paid commitment from day one.
Recraft
Recraft is an AI image generation tool built specifically for designers and brand teams who need consistent visual output at scale. It generates vector illustrations, icons, and raster images from text prompts, and supports custom brand style training so outputs stay on-model. The free tier is genuinely usable, though the credit system can feel restrictive once you start iterating quickly.
