Mockups, logos and thumbnails from templates
Placeit is the fastest way to see your design on a shirt, a mug or a phone, which is what a merch listing needs before anything has been printed. Logos, gaming overlays and thumbnail templates come with the same subscription. Everything is a template, so two creators who both use it end up looking related.

Bulk YouTube edits and thumbnail A/B testing
TubeBuddy is the older of the two big YouTube extensions and is stronger on the boring half: changing end screens on two hundred videos, finding and replacing a line in every description, sorting tags. Its A/B thumbnail test is the feature people cite most. There is no free plan on the pricing page.
