About Toolshed for One
Honest tool picks for one-person businesses and creators.
Running a business on your own means every subscription comes out of your pocket, and every hour spent comparing tools is an hour not spent on clients or creating. Toolshed for One does the comparing for you: what each tool really costs at small scale, what the free plan actually includes, and who should skip it.
What we cover
The five jobs almost every one-person business has to fill:
- Email marketing: building a list you own and selling to it
- Course platforms: hosting and selling courses and memberships
- Websites and stores: a portfolio, a service site or a small shop
- Video and audio: recording and editing podcasts and videos
- Invoicing and money: getting paid and keeping your books tidy
How we work
Every price comes from the vendor's own pricing page, with the date we checked it. We say who a tool is wrong for, not just who it's right for, and we label which tools we've tested hands-on. Some links earn us a commission, which never decides a recommendation. Read how we choose and our affiliate disclosure.
