Substack

Freemium

Substack is a publishing and subscription platform for writers, journalists, podcasters, and other independent creators. It combines newsletter delivery, hosted publication pages, free and paid subscriptions, comments, chat, recommendations, podcast and video support, mobile apps, and network discovery, taking a share of subscription revenue rather than charging a standard publishing fee. It is best for creators who value a fast launch and built-in audience network over full control of branding, customer infrastructure, payment economics, data workflows, and platform dependency.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense is Google's self-service advertising program for publishers that want to monetize websites, games, and other eligible content. It matches inventory with advertiser demand, supports responsive and automated placements, and provides controls for ad locations, categories, blocking, performance reporting, and payments. It is a practical starting point for smaller publishers that meet Google's content and policy requirements and prefer a relatively simple implementation over operating a full ad stack.
