☆ Triller has pitched its app as a TikTok replacement, but says it won't try to generate revenue directly from its namesake product

Triller said it won't try to generate revenue directly in the short-video app it was named after. The company does not perceive the Triller app as core to how it makes money, Green told Insider. Triller will therefore book costs tied to the Triller app as sales, marketing, general, or administrative expenses rather than as a cost of revenue, it wrote in its securities filing. These costs could include paying talent and influencers to drive adoption of the Triller app, or paying to license music for the app as a brand-building tool, it wrote. In 2022, Triller said it grew overall revenue by roughly 80% year over year to $47.7 million.

The Triller app, started in 2015, runs a TikTok-like feed, but it has backed away from the battle.

Details are scant on Triller’s user count beyond the 550 million accounts it says it has signed up since inception.

Sony Music and Triller told the court on Friday they would end the copyright case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled. Sony Music sued Los Angeles-based Triller last year. A Triller spokesperson said at the time that it had removed Sony Music's catalog from the platform, and the complaint "grossly mischaracterizes" their relationship. Triller later denied Sony Music's allegations in court.

Snap’s stock rose in the days leading up to TikTok’s appearance before Congress amid renewed talks among federal officials of a TikTok ban. Alex Brandon/APIf that happens, Lian Jye Su, an analyst with ABI Search, believes users will follow their favorite TikTok influencers and content creators wherever they go.
