It has been called a Twitter clone that competes with Parler, Gab and Mastodon in trying to provide an alternative to Twitter and Facebook. The service was launched on February 21, 2022. Since mid-2022, Truth Social has been facing financial and regulatory issues. The application was initially not available on Google Play because of violations of Google policies prohibiting content with physical threats and incitement to violence, but was approved for Google Play in October 2022 after agreeing to enforce policies against incitement.

As of March 6, 2023, it was ranked number 101 in Apple’s App Store rankings for social media apps, and SimilarWeb ranked its website as number 203 in their “News & Media Publishers” category, behind Gab at number 154, but ahead of Parler at number 1,052. Trump estimated in an April 2023 personal financial disclosure that the site’s value ranged from $5 million to $25 million.  ~Wikipedia
