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.

Runway

Runway is a browser-based AI video platform used by filmmakers, social media creators, and marketing teams to generate, edit, and transform video with text and image prompts. Its Gen-4 Alpha model produces short video clips from text or images, while traditional editing tools sit alongside AI features in one workspace. Output quality impresses at short durations, but longer or complex scenes still require significant iteration.
