Clapper Sees Surge in New Creators as TikTok Users Seek Alternatives

DALLAS, TX –As uncertainty around TikTok’s U.S. joint venture continues, Clapper is seeing a surge in new users looking for a platform to host their content.

Recent market data shows TikTok deletions in the U.S. have jumped nearly 150% in recent days. During this period, some creators have reported upload issues and service disruptions and are reevaluating where to build their audiences and exploring alternative platforms.

Clapper, a creator-first short-form video and livestream platform, is seeing increased activity during this period.

Founded in 2020 by Edison Chen, Clapper is a U.S.-based platform built to support creators seeking a transparent and stable social experience.

During last year’s TikTok ban, Clapper surged to #3 on the App Store, reflecting the platform’s ability to scale during periods of increased demand.

“We are seeing creators explore additional platforms as they expand their digital presence,” said Bita Motiie, Head of Operations.

“They are looking for platforms that offer tools to support content creation, engagement, and monetization.”

Clapper offers short-form video, livestreaming, group chats, and direct monetization tools in a single app. Creators can post videos up to 10 minutes long, go live, and connect with their communities without ads interrupting the experience.

The platform also recently launched built-in editing tools to reduce the need for third-party editing apps. Additionally, Clapper is preparing to roll out Clapper Clubs, a new feature that will allow users to gather around shared interests and conversations in dedicated community spaces.

Clapper uses a community-driven discovery model and an equal-opportunity algorithm designed to help creators reach audiences and build engagement.

“I’m excited to be on Clapper and to create content for my audience,” said Clapper creator @JamBamFM.

As creators continue to diversify their presence across multiple platforms, Clapper is positioning itself as a long-term platform for content creation and community engagement.

“Our focus is on building tools that support creators and encourage community growth,” said Edison Chen, CEO of Clapper.
