What they are
Snappa
Snappa is a browser-based graphic design tool aimed at marketers, bloggers, and content creators who need social media images, thumbnails, and ad graphics without a design background. It offers preset canvas sizes, a stock photo library, and a template collection covering most common formats. The editor is simpler than Canva, which suits users who want fewer decisions, but that simplicity also means less flexibility for complex layouts.
Substack
Substack is a publishing platform where writers host email newsletters and charge subscribers a recurring fee. Independent journalists, essayists, and niche experts use it to build direct audiences without relying on ad revenue. The platform handles payments, delivery, and a basic website automatically. Substack takes a 10% cut of paid subscription revenue on top of stripe fees, which becomes a real cost as an audience grows.
