## FAQs

**Are all these tools actually free?** Yes — every tool listed has a free tier or free plan. Some offer paid upgrades, but core features are accessible for free.

**Can I suggest a new tool?** Tool curation is handled by the Anchors team. Use the in-app support or community channel to share suggestions.

**Will more tools be added?** Yes — the library is updated regularly as the creator tool ecosystem evolves.
