Read the docs →What Applause costs and what the creator gets
| Gifts sent | Coins | Buyer cost (approx.) | Diamonds to creator | Creator payout (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 x Applause | 9 | $0.09 | 9 | $0.045 |
| 10 x Applause | 90 | $0.90 | 90 | $0.45 |
| 100 x Applause | 900 | $9.00 | 900 | $4.50 |
Buyer cost uses a reference rate of 100 coins per $1. TikTok sells coins in packs, and the price per coin depends on the pack size, the store and your region; web checkout and in-app purchases (which include app store fees) usually cost more than this rate. Creator payout uses $0.005 per diamond, before any agency share. Convert any amount with the diamonds calculator.
