PrePostSEO

PrePostSEO is one-stop-shop platform for 150+ SEO tools and utilities, many of which are free to use.

There’s a plagiarism checker and paraphrasing tool, grammar checking, readability analysis, keyword density evaluation, backlink checking, domain authority lookup, plus various file conversion utilities… and a lot more.

Formaly

Formaly

Multiple choice is dead. Maybe.

Formaly lets you create more engaging, conversational forms using natural-language prompts.

Respondents interact in a dialogue instead of ticking boxes or scrolling through long lists of fields, which can help boost your completion rates.

Formaly then extracts themes, sentiment, and key quotes automatically to help you understand your results.

Ordo

If you find yourself bookmarking Reels for inspiration or client references (or vibes) and then promptly losing track of them…

Ordo is an app that saves and organizes short‑form videos into a searchable library.

Save videos with a single click, and Ordo categorizes and tags content automatically to be revisited later, like when you’re trying to explain a brainrot meme to a coworker.

VForms

VForms embeds questionnaires directly inside your videos, so viewers can respond in context without having to jump to a separate survey form.

Integrate questions at specific timestamps to get real-time feedback. That means you can ask a viewer what they think about a product feature at the moment it’s shown, or test understanding during a training video.

It supports skip logic, so viewers jump to different parts of the video based on their answers, along with multiple question types (single choice, open-text, etc).

Apple Creator Studio

Apple’s new subscription-based suite of professional creative apps just dropped.

It bundles Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro, plus Motion, Compressor, and MainStage. Subscribers also get access to premium content, templates, graphics, and advanced AI-powered features across the iWork productivity apps (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) as well as Freeform.

While obviously Adobe’s Creative Cloud is still the industry standard, Apple Creator Studio might be a good option if you’re looking for something more affordable or integrated within the Apple ecosystem.

Writizzy

Writizzy

Writizzy is a minimalist blogging platform for distraction‑free writing.

It’s got a clean editor, fast performance, and easy publishing, plus built‑in newsletter support, privacy‑friendly analytics, and threaded comments, if you want.

It lets you import from WordPress, Ghost, or Substack and export your content anytime. It also handles essentials like custom domains, automatic RSS feeds, and SEO‑ready output automatically.

There’s a free tier, with options to upgrade for more storage, analytics, and subscriber features.

Brand.dev

Brand.dev

Brand.dev is a brand-data API that pulls logos, color palettes, fonts, company descriptions, social links, and more from any public domain, so you can use them to power personalized experiences and automated workflows.

Use it to automatically enrich onboarding, dashboards, CRM profiles, invoices, and AI content with accurate, up-to-date brand visuals, and metadata without manual asset gathering (the worst).

There’s also a simpler asset delivery option called Logo Link for easy logo embedding via a CDN without heavy API integration.

ChaChing

ChaChing

ChaChing’s whole thing is that it cuts Stripe’s billing features by 50 percent, while letting you maintain your payment processing with Stripe.

It’s a modern billing platform for teams who want subscription billing to stay simple and affordable instead of turning into a second product to maintain.

Basically, it strips out Stripe’s “billing tax” while keeping the essentials solid and scalable. Migrating is clean and only takes a few minutes.

DataFast

DataFast

The million-dollar question: What traffic drives revenue?

DataFast is a revenue-first web analytics tool that connects your data to Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Polar, Shopify, and more, so you’re tracking which channels, pages, and campaigns are actually converting into cash.

It installs in minutes via a lightweight 4 KB script and surfaces conversion paths, revenue per visitor, and customer journeys from first click to checkout.

There’s a 14-day free trial and it scales from affordable plans starting around $9 / month.
