TikTok Gifts and Their Value in KSh: Full Price List

TikTok gifts are priced in coins, so their value in KSh is the number of coins times what a coin costs you. On 9 November 2026, TikTok's own web coin page sold coins in Kenya at about KSh 1.64 each: a Rose (1 coin) cost about KSh 1.64, a Galaxy (1,000 coins) KSh 1,640 and a Lion (29,999 coins) about KSh 49,198. The creator does not receive all of that: gifts turn into Diamonds, and most estimates put the creator's share at 30 to 50 percent of what the viewer paid.

What TikTok coins cost in Kenyan shillings today

These are the packs TikTok's web coin page showed for a Kenyan account on 9 November 2026. The custom box accepts any amount from 30 coins up.

The rule is simple: about KSh 1.64 a coin on the web, a little more on the smallest packs, and more again inside the app. Prices move with the shilling and with TikTok's own pricing, so treat these as a dated guide. Older Kenyan lists still use about KSh 1.10 a coin, which is well below what TikTok charges today.

If you create on TikTok rather than watch, gifts only start once you can go LIVE, which TikTok ties to 1,000 followers in most regions. Our TikTok SMM panel sells the followers, views and likes that get a new account there, priced in your own currency.

TikTok gifts and their value in KSh: the price list

Each gift has a fixed coin cost that TikTok shows under it in the gift panel. The coin costs below come from TikTok's gift catalog as tracked on 9 November 2026; the shilling column is coins times KSh 1.64, and the last column uses the 30 to 50 percent creator share explained in the next section.

The answers people search for most: 20 Roses are 20 coins, about KSh 33. One Lion is about KSh 49,198 on the web. A Whale Diving is about KSh 3,526, and the TikTok Universe, the top gift on the list, is about KSh 73,798. Gift names and coin costs can differ slightly by country and change when TikTok updates its catalog, so the number under the gift in your own app always wins.

Coins vs Diamonds: what the creator actually receives

Viewers and creators deal in two different things:

• Coins are what viewers buy. TikTok's Virtual Items Policy says they can only be bought from TikTok and cannot be exchanged for cash.
• Diamonds are what creators collect. TikTok awards them by how popular a LIVE is, and gifts are one of the signals. Your Diamonds and their dollar value sit under Balance, then LIVE rewards.

TikTok does not publish how many Diamonds a gift becomes. One creator analytics guide says a Diamond is worth about half a US cent, roughly half what the viewer paid; another estimate puts the creator nearer 30 percent, and in an older Weekend Argus report South African creators said they received under 30 percent. That is why the table gives a range. On a Lion bought for about KSh 49,198, the creator might see KSh 14,760 to 24,599 before PayPal and M-Pesa charges.

Cashing out is its own process: rewards go from TikTok to a payout method such as PayPal, then on to M-Pesa. Our guide on how to withdraw TikTok money to M-Pesa walks through it, fees included.

Why TikTok coins cost more in the app than on the web

TikTok's own coin page tells Kenyan buyers they save around 25% on the web because of a lower third-party service fee. Coins bought inside the app go through Google Play or the App Store, and those stores take a cut that ends up in the price. TikTok's Virtual Items Policy adds that the cost per coin depends on how many you buy and where you buy them, and that the price shown includes taxes and charges.

So the same Lion can cost a Kenyan viewer noticeably more in the app than the KSh 49,198 web figure. For the creator it is still one Lion; the extra money goes to the app store, not to them.

How to buy TikTok coins in Kenya with M-Pesa or a card

You must be 18 or older to buy coins or send gifts. There are two routes:

1. In the app with M-Pesa (Android). In Google Play, open your account, then Payment methods, and add M-PESA Xpress billing. In TikTok, go to Profile, Menu, Balance, then Get Coins, pick a pack and pay with M-PESA Xpress. Enter your M-PESA PIN on the prompt that appears on your phone.
2. On the web with a card. Open tiktok.com/coin while logged in, pick a pack or type a custom amount, and pay with Visa or Mastercard, the cards the page showed when we checked. This is the cheaper route per coin.
3. Send the gift. In a LIVE, tap the gift icon, pick a gift and its coins come off your balance.

How Kenyan creators get more gifts on LIVE

Gift money follows attention. Go LIVE at the same hour each week, greet viewers by name, set a goal on screen, and use battles with creators your size. Local formats travel well in Kenya: street questions, sheng comedy, matatu stories, cooking and campus life.
