How TikTok coins work
Coins are TikTok's in-app currency. Viewers buy them, then spend them on gifts during LIVEs and on videos. Each gift has a fixed coin price - a Rose is 1 coin, a Galaxy 1,000, a Lion 29,999.
The creator does not receive coins. A gift becomes Diamonds in the creator's account, and Diamonds can be cashed out once they pass TikTok's minimum. TikTok keeps a large share, and the app stores take their cut when coins are bought in the app.
Why the same coins cost more in the app
Apple and Google charge a commission on purchases made inside apps, and TikTok passes it on. Buying on tiktok.com in a browser skips that fee, which is why the web price per coin is roughly a third lower. The coins land in the same account either way.
Gifts follow attention: busy LIVEs get more of them. If your LIVE needs a visible start, you can buy TikTok LIVE views or TikTok LIVE likes - or check what a free trial does first.
