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.
Flodesk
Flodesk is an email marketing platform focused on design-first newsletters and automated workflows. It attracts independent creators, photographers, and small-business owners who prioritize aesthetics over deep segmentation. The flat monthly rate has been abandoned, pricing is now subscriber-based and scales with list size ($19 is the starting price at 1,000 subs) so the price scales as the list grows. The trade-off is a thinner feature set compared to platforms like Klaviyo or ActiveCampaign.
