Coins vs diamonds, in one line
Coins are what you buy. Diamonds are what the creator receives. They are the same number at the gift level — a Galaxy costs 1,000 coins to send and lands as 1,000 diamonds — but the per-unit rates differ, and that difference is TikTok's platform cut. If you're trying to work out a creator's earnings rather than your own spend, the diamonds calculator is the one you want.
Why the app charges more than the website
Apple and Google take a fee on in-app purchases, and it lands on the coin price. In the US the iPhone app charges about $0.0151 a coin against about $0.0104 on tiktok.com, so the same coins cost roughly 45% more in the app. It changes nothing for the creator: their payout is computed from diamonds received, not from what you paid to get the coins.

How much is 1,000 coins on TikTok?
Two answers, and most calculators only give one. Buying 1,000 coins costs about $10 to $15 in the US: about $10.40 on tiktok.com and about $15.10 in the iPhone app, where Apple's fee is passed on. Spending those 1,000 coins on gifts gives the creator 1,000 diamonds, which cash out at $5. The difference between the two is TikTok's cut.
How much is 1 TikTok coin worth?
About $0.0104 to buy on tiktok.com and about $0.0151 in the iPhone app (US prices checked 2026-10-28), and about $0.005 to the creator once you spend it on a gift. What you pay depends on the bundle, your country and where you buy. The creator-side $0.005 is an industry estimate: TikTok publishes no official rate.
Are TikTok coins and diamonds the same thing?
They're two sides of one number. Coins are what viewers buy and spend; diamonds are what creators receive and cash out. Every gift has the same face value in both: a Galaxy is 1,000 coins to send and 1,000 diamonds received. The per-unit rates differ (about $0.01 to $0.015 against $0.005), and that difference is where TikTok's cut lives.
Why are coins cheaper on the TikTok website than in the app?
Because Apple and Google take a fee on in-app purchases, and that cost is passed on. In the US on 2026-10-28, the App Store sold 330 coins for $4.99 and 660 for $9.99, about $0.0151 a coin, while tiktok.com charged about $0.0104 a coin. It makes no difference to the creator: their payout is calculated from diamonds, not from what you paid.
How much does the creator actually get from my coins?
About $0.005 per coin you spend on gifts, which is a third to a half of what you paid. So 10,000 coins spent on gifts is about $100 to $150 out of your pocket and about $50 into theirs. Don't apply the 50% cut twice: it's already inside the $0.005 rate.
Can I watch gifts land in real time — or rewatch a live I missed?
Yes to both. TikMonitor shows every gift arriving on any public TikTok Live as it happens, with sender names and the USD value on both sides of the rate. It can also record the TikTokers you pick (on the Starter and Studio plans), so you can rewatch or download the full video after the live ends.
Where do your coin prices come from?
The US app prices are TikTok's in-app purchase list on the App Store (65 coins $0.99, 330 $4.99, 660 $9.99, 1,321 $19.99), checked 2026-10-28. The web prices are TikTok's US coin page as listed on 2026-10-09 (350 coins $3.65, 1,400 $14.49, 7,000 $72.39). Prices differ by country and change, so treat them as a guide. Gift values are measured: we read them off 1,805,979 real gift events.
