Why switch
Why creators leave Ko-fi
A real video platform, not file hosting
Ko-fi is great for tips and digital downloads, but it's not built for video. Tinglebay offers DRM-protected streaming, adaptive quality, and a proper video player.
An audience that's here for ASMR
Ko-fi is a general tipping platform with no ASMR discovery. On Tinglebay, every user is an ASMR listener looking for creators like you.
Tiered subscriptions built for creators
Ko-fi supports basic memberships but lacks tiered access controls. Tinglebay gives you 4 subscription tiers with per-video access gating out of the box.
