While, following their recent partnership with Viber, users there have sent over 20 million audio messages - which have been played 100M times in just three months. They also say a Voicy user plays, on average, 20 sound clips and shares one per visit. Other usage metrics they share include that users have created some 145,000 sound clips so far, with an average of 10k more being added per month. The platform fully launched in October 2020, per the founders, and they've grown usage to 1.1 million monthly active users at this stage (although that's including usage via Viber, not just ears they're pulling into their own platform). With the addition of public API, further integrations and a strong foundation within the platform, we believe our impact can be exponential.” With integrations, our approach has been to connect our platform with other platforms and give users wider accessibility to sharing content. "Our technology directly serves that purpose through an open-source approach to content, with safeguards layered in to moderate. “From the ground up, we have developed our platform to give users the express ability to create," they add.
