The thing is, TikTok monetization is quite messed up, as there’s a lack of information from official sources. No matter whether you’re a creator and want to understand how much you can earn or a TikTok viewer that wants to support your favorite creator, this article would be a ray of sunshine.

Let’s start with the simple question, “What are TikTok Gifts?”. Well, that’s gifts… They look like stickers; you can send them to reward creators you like.

Initially, gifts were available only on TikTok live streams (TikTok Live), but now you can send a gift both during the live streams and for pre-uploaded videos.

I’m sorry that this article will be pretty long, as I want to proceed with the main topic step-by-step. So let’s start with a little more info about gifts.

What are TikTok gifts?

As I said, you can send those rewards to other TikTok users and support them and their work. Currently, are 135 gifts available for TikTok Live and only 8 for pre-uploaded TikTok videos (the one you can watch in For you section).

They can be bought for TikTok coins, and there are cheap gifts, like Rose or Heart Me, that cost only 1 TikTok coin, but there are also costly ones, like Carriage (28,888 coins) or Griffin (25,999 coins).

So, you need TikTok coins to send gifts. You can buy them directly on TikTok live screen or on through your account settings (Settings and Privacy – Balance – Recharge). You can purchase bundles from 65 coins for $1,19 to 16,500 for $300.

The only requirement for you to send gifts is to be 18 or older (19 years old in South Korea).

When gifts are sent during TikTok Live stream, they are displayed on the screen for all viewers in some cool manner. For example, Cap would appear over the streamer’s head.

If you’re a TikTok creator that receives gifts, you will see your revenue in the Balance tab of your Settings (Go to profile – Settings and Privacy – Balance – Gift Revenue).

But if you want to receive gifts, you should meet some eligibility requirements, like being 18 or older, having at least 10,000 followers, and so on. I will also explain all criteria in another paragraph.

And here’s what you need to know from the ground: once you receive gifts, they’re transformed into diamonds. That’s the internal currency in TikTok. Once you reach the withdrawal amount, you can get your accumulated diamonds as your earnings.

TikTok gifts prices

First of all, here are 8 gifts you can send for pre-uploaded videos from the search, For You page or other users’ profiles:

  • Made My Day – 25 coins.
  • OMG – 25 coins.
  • Applause – 25 coins
  • Love – 25 coins
  • Cry Laugh – 25 coins
  • Bronze Gummy – 500 coins
  • Silver Gummy – 750 coins
  • Gold Gummy – 1000 coins

These gifts are unique and can’t be sent during TikTok Live streams. In TikTok Live, there is a gift called Applause, but it costs only 9 coins and has a different picture.

Here it is if you want to see the whole list of TikTok gifts with prices. But keep in mind that TikTok is constantly changing the gifts available, introducing some new and taking away some old ones, so the list may be outdated in some moments. We will try to keep it up-to-date, but sometimes I think there would be a situation when some gifts listed below are no longer available.

The gift price sorts the table above. As you may see, the are cheap gifts for 1 or 5-10 coins, and there are costly gifts for 20,000+ TikTok coins.

Here’s the distribution chart for all TikTok gift prices:

Each bar represents one gift, and the vertical axis represents gift prices. As you can see, there is a lot of gifts that cost less than 1000 coins. However, there are not so many in the range between 10,000 and 20,000.

I haven’t included Gift Box and Treasure Box, as that’s unique gifts that are unlike others. You can read about them below.

What is Gift Box?

The Gift Box is a feature that allows you to send up to 3 gifts with special effects. When you send Gift Box, your username will also be displayed, and gifts effects will play one after another.

You can place gifts with the price of 1000+ coins into the Gift Box.

There are two types of Gift Box:

  • Standard Gift Box costs 1,999 coins and can contain up to 2 gifts at once.
  • Premium Gift Box costs 3,999 coins and can contain up to 3 gifts at once.

What is Treasure Box?

The Treasure Box is the cool feature, really. And it’s not about sending a gift to the creator.

It works differently: you place some of your coins inside this Treasure Box and then randomly distribute them among other viewers watching the same TikTok live.

There are 3 standard combinations of Treasure Box:

  • 20 coins; 16 random people will receive coins
  • 100 coins; 25 lucky people will receive coins
  • 1000 coins; 100 lucky people will receive coins

You can also create a custom Treasure Box and choose the manual amount of coins and the number of potential grabbers. For each custom Treasure Box, you can shoot up to 10,000 coins with up to 200 potential lucky ones. The only rule is that the number of coins should be higher than the number of grabbers.

Also, you can use a maximum of 100,000 coins per day. All coins viewers don’t collect will return to your account within 24 hours. That may happen, for example, if the host ends live before all coins are grabbed.

And a little about the Treasure Box event:

  • It lasts 10 minutes.
  • Until then, viewers can tap on a Treasure Box and get coins. The first people to tap on it will receive coins after the countdown.
  • People that received money from Treasure Box would be displayed in the Lucky User list.

What is TikTok Coins Price?

You can buy TikTok coins in 7 bundle types, from 65 to 16,500.

Here’s the table of bundles available. The third column shows the price for 1 coin in this bundle.

Number of coinsPrice, $Price per 1 coin, $
651.190.0183
3305.990.0182
66011.990.0182
1,32122.990.0174
3,30359.990.0182
6,607119.990.0182
16,500299.990.0182

As you may see, the difference between each bundle in terms of 1 coin cost isn’t significant, but the best bundle is one with 1,321 coins.

So, the average price of one TikTok coin is $0.0182.

If you want to calculate the price of the manual coins, you can use the calculator below. Just enter the number of coins into the field and click Calculate.

What are TikTok Coins prices in the UK?

Here’s the table with prices in UK pounds.

Number of coins Price, £Price per 1 coin, £
650.960.0147
3304.820.0146

330348.260.0146
660796.520.0146
16500241.310.0146

In the paragraph above, there’s a calculator, and you can choose the currency to calculate the manual coins amount cost in GBP.

What are TikTok gift prices in dollars?

Just a short paragraph is one big table. It’s the same as the table above, but the prices for all TikTok gifts are calculated in dollars.

Are TikTok gifts worth real money?

The rise of TikTok as a social media platform has captivated millions, and one feature that often gets attention is the gifting mechanism. This option lets viewers send virtual gifts to content creators during live streams. But is this exchange purely symbolic, or do these virtual gifts have real monetary value? The simple answer is yes, they do.

To break it down, here’s how it works: Users purchase TikTok coins with real money from the in-app store. These coins are then used to purchase various virtual gifts. These gifts can vary in value, with some costing just a few coins and others costing much more. Once a user sends a gift to a content creator, the gift is converted into “diamonds” that the creator can collect. When a creator decides to “cash out,” those diamonds can be converted into real money. But remember that TikTok takes a cut as a commission during this conversion process.

Why is this exchange necessary? Well, for one, it has financial implications for content creators. It becomes a revenue stream that can sometimes prove lucrative, especially for popular TikTokers who get a lot of engagement and, therefore, get a lot of gifts. For viewers, it’s a way to support and connect with creators they value, even if it means parting with real money to purchase virtual gifts.

The gifting mechanism isn’t without its critics, though. Some argue that it encourages a form of digital busking, where creators perform for tips rather than engaging authentically with their audience. Additionally, because TikTok takes a cut of the revenue, not all of the money viewers spend directly to the creators raising questions about fairness and value for money.

But at the end of the day, the transaction is simple: real money is being spent, and real money can be earned. While the value of a virtual gift may be subjective and dependent on individual perspectives, its ability to be converted into real money means that technically speaking, it has tangible value.

So, if you’re a TikTok user considering whether or not to send your favorite creator that virtual panda or disco ball, remember: it’s more than just a digital token of appreciation. It’s a financial gesture that can contribute to someone’s income. And for the content creators on the receiving end, these gifts can add up to a significant revenue stream, making all those hours of planning, filming, and editing more rewarding.

How to convert TikTok Gifts to money

To withdraw money, go to your profile, tap the hamburger icon on the top right corner, then go to Settings and privacy. Here you need to tap on Balance and tap on LIVE rewards. If you have a withdrawable amount, you can tap on Withdraw button.

  3. Like usual with a China based company, they push the limits with greed. A lot of people share an account to get paid directly and avoid saying the info out loud in fear of Tiktok banning their account or shadow banning them.
