Koji

The platform officially launched in March 2021, catering to content creators, influencers, artists, and small businesses on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch. Koji's core function is to provide a customizable and interactive landing page accessible from a single link in a user's social media bio. This service addresses the limitation of social platforms that only allow one external link. A key differentiator for Koji is its integrated app store, which features hundreds of free mini-apps. These apps, developed by both Koji and third-party developers, allow creators to engage with their audiences and monetize their content directly from their Koji page. Followers can interact with these apps without leaving the social media platform they are on, which is designed to increase session times and engagement.

The business model is primarily transaction-based, as the platform is free to use without a subscription tier. Koji generates revenue by taking a small percentage fee from sales made through its monetization apps. These fees can range from 5% to 15%, with the app developer setting the specific rate. Monetization tools include apps for selling digital products, offering exclusive content, running a tip jar, and managing video requests. This model aligns Koji's success with that of its creators. In addition to monetization features, the platform provides creators with detailed analytics to track audience behavior and make data-driven decisions. On December 14, 2023, Koji was acquired by its competitor, Linktree, and the Koji app and product were scheduled to be shut down as of January 31, 2024.
