What they are

Spreaker

Spreaker is a podcast hosting and live-streaming platform used by independent creators and radio broadcasters to publish, distribute, and earn from audio content. It combines real-time broadcasting with on-demand hosting and connects episodes to major directories like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The integrated ad marketplace is a genuine draw for monetization, though the free tier is fairly limited in storage and upload hours.

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.
