Exploring the KLIPY API

by Adrian Machado

Recently, GIPHY has become too expensive for apps to sustain with their $12k/yr model, and Tenor is likely heading in the same direction—after all, no tool is free to maintain, and everything comes with costs. Amid these challenges, many app developers sought alternatives and discovered KLIPY—the only platform for GIFs, Clips, and Stickers with a completely different business model. KLIPY offers a lifetime free API and enables apps to generate revenue by inserting non-intrusive ads between content.

In this article, we’ll guide you through migrating from GIPHY or Tenor to KLIPY and show you how this innovative API can transform your app’s content and revenue strategy.

Why Switch to KLIPY API?#

KLIPY is 100% REALLY LIFETIME FREE API and stands out by combining creative flexibility with advanced features tailored for both developers and businesses. Here’s what makes it different:
