First of all, it’s not easy to create an app like Tik Tok. We just think that, we will use Swipe video player extension and then we will be able to make Tik Tok. Well, it does not work that way. Tik Tok (or any other app similar to Tik Tok) use ML algorithm to show the trending videos on the feeds, to show the content which users like and want to see. To be honest, creating app like Tik Tok is not possible on Kodular right now because we can not use ML algorithm on Kodular platform.
If you still want to create an app like Tik Tok, then you have to create a category in your database and then store your video in that category. I would recommend you to use Firebase database. Don’t go with Airtable because Airtable API request has been limited to 5 requests/second.
Hope it will help you.

Check this out.
Also, if you exceed the limit, you will have to wait for 30 seconds to request again.

After the limit we can’t afford firebase, so best is using mysql.
First you can try with free hosting and if your app does well then go for paid one.

Yeah. SQL is best if someone is good at it. Firebase is good for beginners.

ML should not be a concern, first recommend random videos, store the watchtime for the video for each user, build a dataset, train a recommender system, use the predicted videos to show to each user.

There are even free aias of tiktok like apps in the internet. Search and you will easily find it.
But of course, if you can do something unique you will have to pay or make some effort.

Realistically, the biggest impediment to make an app like TikTok, is not the platform in itself, but the hosting capabilities at your disposal. I’m thinking TikTok moves many terabytes of data per second at very good speed. For sure you are not going to require something like that, at least not in the beginning. But you need to plan what are you going to use to be able to provide your app with unlimited video bandwidth.
The best I found for someone else who asked almost the same question a couple of weeks ago was Vimeo, for $900 dollars a year. Unfortunately there’s no truly free solution for this.

Not very relevant but interesting:

Long story short: Around 8 million dollars a month.
