How much is a TikTok Universe? As of September 25, 2026, it’s 44,999 coins, and no gift you can send in the US costs more. Below, we turn that into dollars for viewers and creators, then sort the Universe from its two namesakes.
Meet the TikTok Universe
The TikTok Universe gift is a glittering blue globe with an orbit ring around it, the glowing “TikTok LIVE” lettering in front, and the TikTok note built from sparkles. It sits at the very top of the price range: one Universe costs exactly one coin less than 45 Galaxies.
It’s also a gift you’ll find almost anywhere. Only about one in eight TikTok gifts is available in all 95 regions we checked, and the Universe is one of them, so viewers from the US to Vietnam send the same blue globe.
TikTok Universe cost: coins, dollars, and your share
| TikTok Universe | Value |
|---|---|
| Price in the gift panel | 44,999 coins |
| What the viewer pays | about $477 when buying coins on the web, more in the app |
| What the creator gets | roughly 22,500 Diamonds, about $112 |
| Available in | all 95 regions we checked |
How much does a TikTok Universe cost the viewer, then? Around $477 with coins bought on the web. Coin bundles in the app cost more, so you’ll also come across dollar figures well above $500.
And how much is a TikTok Universe worth once it reaches you? About $112 before payout fees. Viewers pay for coins, creators receive Diamonds, and TikTok keeps the difference.
Two Universes in one LIVE come to about $225 on your side. Handy to know when you work out how to make money on TikTok LIVE.
Two TikTok Universes and a Universe+: which one is which?
So how much does a Universe cost on TikTok? That depends on which one you mean. If you’ve seen 34,999 coins somewhere, nobody made a typo: TikTok has more than one Universe.
| Entry in the gift list | Coins | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Universe | 44,999 | blue globe |
| TikTok Universe | 44,999 | blue globe |
| TikTok Universe+ | 34,999 | purple and pink gem |
Yes, the TikTok Universe really is in there twice. Both entries carry the same name, the same globe icon, and the same price, and gift trackers list both in all 95 regions we checked. In TikTok’s gift list they’re two separate gifts, each with its own ID. For your balance it makes no difference which one a viewer sends: both come to roughly 22,500 Diamonds.
The Universe+ is a gift of its own, not an upgrade: a purple and pink gem with a gold orbit ring. Despite the plus, it’s the cheaper one. Older guides from 2023 still list the Universe at 34,999 coins, and today that’s exactly what the Universe+ costs.
Where the double entry does matter is your alert setup, because TikFinity lists both Universes separately (more on that below). Everywhere else in this article, Universe means the blue globe.
Give every Universe an alert of its own
A gift this big shouldn’t scroll past in chat. With TikFinity you can build an alert just for the Universe and make it as big as the gift itself: a video, your own sound, the sender’s name on screen, and a spoken thank-you via text-to-speech.
1 Open Actions & Events in TikFinity and create a new action. For a Universe, stack it up: an animation or video, a sound, an alert text with the viewer’s name, and a TTS line. You can even switch your OBS scene.
2 Add an event, choose “Sending a specific gift”, and type “universe” into the gift field. You’ll see three entries: the Universe+ and the TikTok Universe twice. TikFinity treats each one as its own gift, so to cover them all, set up one event per entry with the same action. Or use a single event that triggers on every gift above a coin value, say 30,000 coins, and all the big ones get the treatment.
3 Put your overlay screen into OBS Studio or TikTok LIVE Studio and run a test with the Event Simulator, no live stream needed. Every click is in our TikTok alerts guide.

Want the moment to last longer than the alert? The Gift Overlays keep the top gift of your stream on screen, so a Universe isn’t forgotten once the alert fades. The Last X Overlays add the name of your latest gifter.
