Tool 1 of 7

ChatGPT (free tier)

Use it for the five emails you rewrite every week. Paste your real wording once, reuse the prompt. Never let it answer pricing or refund questions unchecked.
Tool 2 of 7

Canva Magic Studio

One template, four sizes, whole week of posts in one Sunday sitting. Skip the AI caption button — write captions in your own words.
Tool 3 of 7

Grammarly (free)

Catches the typo before the invoice email goes out. The free tier is enough for a small business — ignore the paid tone-rewrite upsell.
Tool 4 of 7

Free QR Generator

Put a QR on the counter that opens your Google review page. Test the printout with three different phones before you order 500 copies.
Tool 5 of 7

Zapier (free plan)

New form entry → row in Sheets → ping on your phone. The free plan covers about 100 tasks a month — fine for leads, not for order volume.
Tool 6 of 7

Image Compressor

Phone photos are 4–8 MB. Compress to under 300 KB before they hit your site or WhatsApp catalog. Customers on 4G give up fast.
Tool 7 of 7

Otter.ai

Record the supplier call, get a transcript, stop arguing about who promised what. Free tier gives roughly 300 minutes a month.
