An underappreciated music video platform
Social media platforms today are so common that not all rise to prominence. Triller is one such app; it’s fun and unique, but it’s stuck in the shadow of TikTok.
A simple app for creators
Triller is one of the many video sharing apps available today that sets itself apart from its competitors through transparency and versatility.
You create and share music video creations on Triller. It lets you record 16-second videos, edit them, add select songs as background music, and share them with users on this and other platforms.
The editing tools are somewhat limited but straightforward to navigate. For added convenience, you can link this app to your music libraries and online streaming services for access to various tracks.
When you download the app and create a profile, you choose whether to become a user or a creator. Both classes let you make videos, but the latter comes with a crowdfunding feature.
If you post quality content often enough, you'll get verified, which helps you earn more through the app. Luckily, Triller is safe for your information and money. It suffered no scandals, and it's confirmed for users aging 12 or older.
When it comes to social networking, Triller lets users collaborate on videos, combining them into one creation. Brands also use the app to promote products through influencers.
Triller Challenges are another fun perk. You create a video with guidelines and add a hashtag, which people use to submit their responses to the challenge. Then, you can award the winners, generating more engagement with your content.
Where can you run this program?
Triller runs on Android and iOS smartphones.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes. TikTok is the most popular alternative today, with Likee following closely, especially for Asian users. The new Instagram Reels is also a considerable competitor.
Our take
While the execution is a bit clunky, Triller offers several unique features to attract users and keep them coming back. It deserves more attention.
Should you download it?
Yes, especially if you’re big on video apps and looking for an America-based alternative to pursue marketing or crowdfunding goals.
