What Are TikTok Coins?
TikTok Coins are the platform's virtual currency, bought with real money and spent almost entirely on one thing: gifts sent to creators during LIVE streams. Coins only work inside TikTok itself. They can't be transferred between accounts, sold, or refunded once purchased, which is exactly why a service like this exists, buying coins the normal way means paying TikTok's own prices through the app or a web browser, tied to your own account.
When a gift is sent, TikTok converts its coin value into Diamonds for the creator, who can eventually cash those out. Coins themselves are a one-way purchase: money in, gifts out, nothing back.

How to Buy TikTok Coins
There are two official ways to recharge TikTok Coins, and the difference between them matters more than most people realize.
Buying in the app goes through Apple's App Store or Google Play, which both take a roughly 30% commission. That cost gets baked into the price you pay per coin.
Buying through a web browser at TikTok's own recharge page skips that app store cut entirely, which is why coins bought this way are consistently cheaper, often by a meaningful margin, for the exact same coin amount.
Coin prices themselves aren't fixed worldwide either. What a coin costs varies by country, currency, and which of these two purchase methods you use, so the same bundle can genuinely cost different amounts for two people in different regions.
How Buying TikTok Coins Through GameBoost Works
Buying coins through GameBoost works a bit differently from a standard in-app purchase, since coins can't be transferred between accounts the normal way. Instead, sellers use TikTok's own "Log in via QR code" feature, the same one TikTok offers for logging into a second device:
After checkout, the seller sends you a link containing a TikTok QR code.
You scan that code from inside your own TikTok app (Profile, Settings, Scan QR Code).
The seller logs into your account temporarily through that scan and recharges it with the coin pack you bought.
Once the coins land in your account, the seller logs out right away.
You never hand over a password, and the access is temporary and limited to the recharge itself.

How Much Are TikTok Coins Worth?
TikTok doesn't publish one single fixed rate. Depending on region and whether you buy through the app or the web, a coin generally costs somewhere between about $0.01 and $0.015. Buying in bulk, and buying through the web rather than the app, both push that per-coin cost down.
Here's a rough sense of what common coin amounts cost, using approximate web pricing:
Coins | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
100 | ~$1.00-$1.50 |
500 | ~$5.00-$7.50 |
1,000 | ~$10.00-$15.00 |
5,000 | ~$50.00-$75.00 |
100,000 | ~$1,000-$1,500 |
These are approximate ranges rather than a fixed table, since your actual price depends on your region, currency, and purchase method.

What Happens to Coins Once They're Gifted?
When a viewer sends a gift, TikTok converts the coin value into Diamonds for the creator, generally somewhere around half the dollar value the viewer paid, and Diamonds later convert to real cash once a creator passes TikTok's payout threshold. The exact split isn't published as a fixed number by TikTok itself, so treat any precise percentage you see online as an estimate rather than an official rate.

How Many Coins Is the Lion Gift?
The Lion, one of TikTok's most expensive gifts, is priced at 29,999 Coins (sometimes shown rounded to 30,000). In dollar terms that generally lands somewhere in the $300-$600 range depending on your region and how you bought your coins, there's no single fixed dollar price, since it depends entirely on what your coin package actually cost you.

Can You Get Free TikTok Coins?
No, not legitimately. TikTok doesn't give coins away, and there's no generator, hack, or third-party tool that produces real coins. Sites promising free coins are consistently after your login credentials or payment details, and that risk applies whether the site asks for a survey, an app download, or your account password. The only real path to more coins is buying them, either directly through TikTok or through a service like this one.
