How the two platforms stack up for musicians
The same upload, judged on what matters to a music creator: how far it reaches, where it lives, where people can watch it, and whether you earn from it.
Four things music creators come to LYKSTAGE for
Plays on the big screen
Available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV. Your music videos belong on the living-room TV, not just a phone.
Rewards the watch, not the scroll
A watch-time-based engagement model that rewards quality content — so the music people actually sit and listen to is the music that gets surfaced and earns.
Built creator-first
A creator-first platform with 20,000+ channels already active — including thousands of independent musicians and bands. You get a real home for your catalog and an audience that follows the artist, not just a trend.
Your full catalog, your way

How is LYKSTAGE different from TikTok for music creators?
TikTok is built around short vertical clips with a fast content shelf life and heavy algorithm dependence. LYKSTAGE is a creator-first video platform where your music can run as full content, reach viewers across mobile, web, and Connected TV, and live on instead of disappearing down a feed.
Can people watch my music videos on a TV with LYKSTAGE?
Yes. LYKSTAGE is available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV — so your audience can watch your work on the big screen, not just on a phone.
Do I keep ownership of my content on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. You keep ownership of the music videos and content you upload to your LYKSTAGE channel.
Is it free to start a music channel on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. Starting your channel on LYKSTAGE is free. You can create your channel, upload your content, and begin building an audience at no cost.
How do I grow my audience as a music creator on LYKSTAGE?
Upload consistently, share your channel link across your socials, and take advantage of multi-device reach — your music plays on phones, tablets, laptops, and Connected TVs. LYKSTAGE’s watch-time model means the longer people listen, the more your content gets surfaced to new audiences. Treat your channel like your own music streaming page.
How does LYKSTAGE reward music creators?
LYKSTAGE uses a patent-approved watch-time monetisation model where both creators and viewers earn from genuine engagement. The longer your audience watches, the more you earn — which means strong musical work is rewarded for the real attention it attracts, not just fleeting scrolls

Yes. There is no short-clip ceiling on LYKSTAGE. Upload full music videos, live concert recordings, acoustic sessions, behind-the-scenes footage, and visual albums — all in the format and length you choose. Every minute watched contributes to your earnings.
