What they are

Podcastle

Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.

Thinkific

Thinkific is a course platform where creators build, host, and sell self-paced or live courses directly to students. Coaches, educators, and subject-matter experts use it to package knowledge into paid products without needing a developer. The drag-and-drop builder is approachable, though the lower-tier plans restrict features like communities and advanced analytics behind higher paywalls.
