How many coins is the TikTok Universe?
The TikTok Universe costs 44,999 coins in 2026, according to three independent public catalogs: StreamRio (updated 02/07/2026), Lincora (20/08/2026) and BetterTok. TikTok does not publish an official gift price list, so the figure that counts is the one shown in your app's gift panel on the day you send it.
TikTok rotates gifts by season and region, and several have almost identical names. Don't mix them up:
| Gift | Price in coins | Availability (per catalogs) |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Universe | 44,999 | Global and regional |
| TikTok Universe+ | 34,999 | Global and regional |
| Holiday Universe (seasonal) | 60,999 | Selected regions only |

How much does a creator earn from a Universe?
The creator does not receive the 44,999 coins; they receive Diamonds. TikTok's Virtual Items Policy says the conversion rate is set by TikTok "in its sole discretion", and the rate isn't published. Third-party estimates put a Universe at around $225 for the creator (about $0.005 per coin), while at least one calculator gives a lower figure of roughly $90.
Put simply, the creator ends up with about half of what the sender paid, or less. We break it down in what TikTok Diamonds are worth and how much creators earn per gift.

What risks and mistakes should you avoid?
TikTok's Virtual Items Policy states that coins should only be bought from TikTok and that you must be an adult to buy them. Buying from a third party such as CoinTok is not backed by TikTok. Also, a gift can't be taken back once sent, so double-check the LIVE and the creator before you tap "Send".
- Never share your password or SMS codes with anyone.
- Ignore sites promising a "free Universe"; they don't exist.
- Check the price in your app on the day; TikTok can change it without notice.

FAQ
They are two separate gifts. According to 2026 catalogs, TikTok Universe costs 44,999 coins and Universe+ costs 34,999. Both play a full-screen animation, but the first is pricier and tends to be saved for the biggest moments of a LIVE. Check your app to see which one is available in your region.
At the US web rate of $0.0104 per coin and exchange rates from 18/10/2026, the Universe works out to about 8,640 Mexican pesos or around 44,500 Indian rupees. These are reference conversions only; TikTok sets its own local prices, and buying in the app costs more because of store fees.
No. The gift only goes through if your balance holds at least 44,999 coins when you tap it. If you're short, TikTok asks you to recharge first. That's why it helps to keep a margin, for example with a 50,000-coin pack, which leaves 5,001 coins spare.
It may not be available in your country, TikTok may have swapped it for a seasonal version, or gifting may be restricted on your account. You must be 18 or older and in a country where gifting is enabled. Scroll to the end of the panel, where the most expensive gifts are.
