About The Stellar Stack
The Stellar Stack is an independent publication that reviews AI tools for creators — with a special focus on YouTube creators and the fast-growing wave of creators across Asia and Southeast Asia.
Why we exist
The AI tool market moves faster than any buyer can keep up with. Every week brings a dozen new “game-changing” apps, and most reviews are written by people who never actually used them. We built The Stellar Stack to be the opposite: a place where creators can find out what a tool is really like to use, for the exact job they need to get done.
What makes us different
- Real — we sign up, test, and document real workflows, not press releases.
- Scenario-based — we review tools by the job they do (script, voiceover, editing, thumbnails, growth), not by hype.
- Updated — AI tools change monthly. We keep our reviews current and date every update.
- Asia-first — we cover the tools Western review sites ignore: CapCut, Jianying, iFlytek, Kimi, and more.
- Accountable — honest pros and cons, with a clear affiliate disclosure on every page.
How we test
We sign up for and use every tool we write about (free trials where available). We run real projects through them — writing scripts, generating voiceovers, cutting videos, and designing thumbnails — and we document the results with screenshots. When a tool’s pricing or features change, we update the review and note what changed.
Who is behind The Stellar Stack
The Stellar Stack is written and maintained by an independent team of working creators and marketers based in Asia. We build content for YouTube and short-form video ourselves, so the tools we review are the tools we actually use in our own workflow.
Editorial independence
Our recommendations are never for sale. We do earn affiliate commissions when readers subscribe to tools through our links — that’s how the site is funded — but commissions never influence our ratings or verdicts. If a tool has real downsides, we say so. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the full details.
