TikMonitor vs TikFinity: your own stream, or someone else's?
TikFinity is streaming software for your own TikTok LIVE — overlays, sound alerts, text-to-speech, goals and chat games driven by gifts and comments on your broadcast. TikMonitor is read-only and watches other creators' public lives, converting their diamonds to estimated USD. If you broadcast, you want TikFinity; if you study other creators, TikFinity cannot do it.

What TikFinity does better
We built one of these two products, so read this section first. These are the cases where TikFinity is the right answer and we are not.
- Everything on your own broadcast. Overlays for OBS and TikTok LIVE Studio, sound alerts, text-to-speech reading chat aloud, subathon timers, goals, a chatbot and game integrations. TikMonitor does none of this and is not trying to.
- A genuinely generous free tier covering overlays, chat commands, games, TTS and Minecraft integration, plus a short full-access trial of Pro.
- Maturity in its niche — it describes itself as comparable to Streamlabs but built for TikTok LIVE, and that is a fair description of what it does.
What TikMonitor does better
- Watching creators other than yourself. TikFinity connects to the stream you are running; its own developer documentation offers a socket for 'all events of your TikTok livestream'. Studying a competitor or a roster of creators is outside its scope.
- Money rather than points. TikFinity counts gifts into a configurable points system for rewards and games, and publishes no diamond value or currency conversion anywhere. Converting diamonds to estimated USD is TikMonitor's entire output.
- A record afterwards: session history, searchable chat, replays and CSV export. TikFinity is built for the moment the stream is happening.
FAQ
Can TikFinity track another creator's live earnings?
No. TikFinity connects to the broadcast you are running — you sign in, connect your own account, and its widgets react to gifts and comments on that stream. There is no mode for pointing it at another creator's live. Watching someone else means reading the public live feed from the viewer side, which is what TikMonitor does.
Does TikFinity show earnings in dollars?
No. TikFinity counts gifts into its own points system, using a creator-set points-per-coin value to drive rewards, goals and games. Nothing on its site publishes a diamond value or a currency conversion. For a dollar figure you need a tool that converts diamonds and labels the result an estimate.
Is TikMonitor a replacement for TikFinity?
No, and neither replaces the other. They sit on opposite sides of the same stream: TikFinity runs inside the broadcast you are producing, TikMonitor observes broadcasts from the audience side. A creator who streams and also studies other creators would reasonably run both.
How much does TikFinity cost?
TikFinity publishes no public pricing page — Pro is bought inside the app after signing in, and is also unlocked through the maintainer's Patreon. Its free tier is substantial. Check the current price in the app rather than trusting a third-party listicle, since several quote figures the vendor does not publish.
