What they are

RSS.com

RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that stores audio files, generates an RSS feed, and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Independent podcasters and small teams use it to get shows live without technical setup. The platform includes basic analytics and a simple website builder, though advanced analytics and monetization tools are thin compared to some competitors.

TubeBuddy

TubeBuddy is a browser extension and dashboard that sits directly inside YouTube Studio, adding keyword research, A/B thumbnail testing, bulk processing tools, and SEO scoring to your workflow. It is used primarily by independent YouTubers and small channel teams who want data to guide upload decisions without hiring a dedicated analyst. The integration is tight and genuinely useful, though the most valuable features are locked behind paid tiers, and the free tier has been effectively removed.
