TikTok Gift Prices: How Much a Rose, Lion and Universe Cost

Summary: Every TikTok gift has a fixed price in coins. A Rose is 1 coin, a Galaxy is 1,000, a Lion is 29,999 and the TikTok Universe is 44,999 for US accounts. Coins cost roughly one to one and a half cents each depending on where you buy them, so a Rose is about a cent and a Universe is several hundred dollars. Creators receive around half of the gift's value.

• The Rose is the cheapest and most common gift at 1 coin.
• The Lion costs 29,999 coins and is the classic battle-winning gift.
• Buying coins on the web is cheaper than buying them in the mobile app.
• Creators get roughly 50% of a gift's coin value as diamonds.

How Much Is a Rose on TikTok?

A Rose costs 1 TikTok coin, which works out to about one to one and a half cents in US dollars. It is the gift you see most often on LIVE streams because it is a cheap way to say hello. Several other gifts share the 1-coin price, including the TikTok logo gift, GG and a few seasonal options.

TikTok Gift Prices From Cheapest to Most Expensive

Dollar values below use the typical range of one to one and a half cents per coin, so treat them as estimates. TikTok changes the catalog and regional pricing from time to time, so always confirm in the gift panel.

• Rose: 1 coin, about $0.01.
• Doughnut: 30 coins, about $0.30 to $0.45.
• Galaxy: 1,000 coins, about $10 to $15.
• Lion: 29,999 coins, about $300 to $450.
• TikTok Universe: 44,999 coins for US accounts, about $450 to $675. Some regions still list it at 34,999.

How Much Is a Lion on TikTok?

The Lion costs 29,999 coins. At web prices that is roughly $450, and it can be cheaper per coin on larger bundles. It fills the screen with a full animation, which is why it is the go-to gift for deciding a LIVE battle in the final seconds. A creator who receives one gets roughly 15,000 diamonds.

How Much Do Creators Earn From TikTok Gifts?

When a gift is sent, TikTok converts it into diamonds for the creator, keeping about half. Diamonds can then be cashed out once the creator meets the payout requirements. So a Galaxy that costs a viewer around $13 is worth roughly half that to the creator, and app store fees on mobile coin purchases do not change the creator's share.

Creators who want more gifts usually invest in better content rather than more hours live. Editing tools such as InVideo for clips and Picwand for thumbnails help turn LIVE highlights into posts that bring new viewers back.

How to Pay Less for TikTok Gifts

The price of a gift in coins never changes, but the price of coins does. Buying coins on TikTok's website avoids the app store markup, which is typically 25 to 30 percent. Larger bundles are slightly cheaper per coin. Avoid any site promising free coins or generators, which are scams aimed at stealing TikTok logins.

Our guide to buying and recharging TikTok coins walks through every payment route step by step.

Setting a Gift Budget Before You Go LIVE

Gifts add up quickly, especially during battles. Decide a monthly amount, load only that many coins, and stop when they run out. Prepaid credit makes the limit automatic.

To load a fixed amount, get a TikTok gift card.
