What they are

Publer

Publer is a social media scheduling tool that covers publishing, analytics, and AI-assisted caption writing across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It suits solo creators, agencies, and small teams who manage multiple accounts. The free plan is genuinely usable but limits the number of connected accounts, and the pricing climbs noticeably once you add team members or workspaces.

Riverside

Riverside records audio and video locally on each participant's device, then uploads lossless files to the cloud, so a shaky internet connection never ruins a take. It's used by podcasters, journalists, and video creators who need broadcast-quality recordings from remote guests. The built-in AI tools handle transcription, clip creation, and basic editing. One honest note: the interface has a learning curve for guests who aren't tech-savvy.
