Question 1

Is this legal? Do TikTokers know I'm tracking them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's public data — TikTok LIVE is a public broadcast. Chat messages, gifts, and viewer counts are visible to anyone watching the stream. We don't have any private access or inside deals with TikTok; we read the same public feed your browser does.

Question 2

How accurate are the earnings estimates?

Accepted Answer

We count diamonds in real time and convert at the industry-standard estimate of the creator payout rate: 1 diamond = $0.005 USD. TikTok does not publish an official rate. That rate already includes TikTok's ~50% platform cut, so the dollar amount we show is the creator's estimated take-home — not the viewer spend (which is roughly double). Every number is labeled 'estimated' and actual payouts vary with TikTok's regional rules and fees.

Question 3

How fast is 'real time'?

Accepted Answer

Events land in your dashboard within about 1.5 seconds of TikTok emitting them. We read the same WebSocket feed TikTok writes, so you see gifts and chat lines as they happen — not a 15-minute refresh like most analytics tools.

Question 4

Can I get alerts when a specific user comments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on Studio. Set an alert for any username and you'll get pinged (push, email, or in-app) the moment they post a chat message in a live you're tracking. Same for keywords, gift thresholds, and go-live events.

Question 5

Does it work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

The web app is mobile-responsive today. Dedicated iOS + Android apps with push notifications ship next quarter — every paid plan gets them included at no extra cost.

Question 6

Can I export chat logs?

Accepted Answer

Studio can export full chat + gift history as CSV, per session. Starter keeps the full history in-app but doesn't include CSV export. Free doesn't export.

Question 7

Can I record or rewatch a TikTok Live?

Accepted Answer

TikTok itself doesn't let viewers rewatch someone else's live — once it ends, it's gone. TikMonitor Studio ($24.99/mo) records the TikTokers you pick automatically, so you can watch or download the full video for 30 days, and gives you a minute-by-minute replay scrubber over the gift and chat timeline.

Question 8

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free covers 1 creator with real-time payout in USD, go-live alerts, 14-day history, and a 60-minute preview per live session. Upgrade to Starter ($7.99/mo) for up to 3 creators and full-length sessions, or Studio ($24.99/mo) for 50 creators with automatic live recordings, replays, keyword alerts and CSV export.
