Ten Galaxies or one Interstellar: TikTok charges 10,000 coins either way, and your Diamond balance can’t tell the two apart. If you got here by searching “how much is an Interstellar on TikTok”, that’s the short version, with about $106 leaving the sender’s account and roughly $25 landing in yours. The table below puts the Interstellar next to the Galaxy and the TikTok Universe, with the Diamonds each step brings you.
Galaxy, Interstellar, Universe: TikTok’s space gifts compared
| Gift | Coins | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy | 1,000 | about 500 Diamonds, around $2.50 |
| Interstellar | 10,000 | about 5,000 Diamonds, around $25 |
| TikTok Universe | 44,999 | about 22,500 Diamonds, around $112 |
The table also explains why a countdown goal set to 10,000 coins is the honest test of the difference: ten Galaxies bring it down one notch at a time, while a single Interstellar clears it in one hit. Same coins, same Diamonds, but your viewers see one big landing instead of ten small ones.
One step higher, a TikTok Universe costs about as much as four and a half Interstellars. The Lion isn’t a space gift, but at 29,999 coins it lands in between, at roughly three. TikTok actually lists the Universe twice, next to a cheaper Universe+, and our TikTok Universe guide sorts out which is which.
The Interstellar gift up close
So what is an Interstellar on TikTok, beyond its spot on the ladder? The icon shows an astronaut from behind, one blue glove raised toward a glittering pink planet shaped like a heart and circled by a silver ring. Blue, lilac, and peach plants grow in the foreground, and turquoise hills rise behind the helmet.
It’s the same astronaut everywhere: all 95 regions in our check list the Interstellar, so viewers in the US, Germany, Spain, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam send the exact same gift.
What an Interstellar costs, from viewer to creator
So how much does an Interstellar cost on TikTok for whoever sends it? About $106 if the coins were bought on the web, which is usually the cheaper route. In-app coin packs cost more, and that’s where the higher prices floating around online come from.
On your end, one Interstellar turns into roughly 5,000 Diamonds, about $25 before payout fees, so four of them in a single LIVE come to around $100. TikTok keeps the difference between what your viewer paid for the coins and what your Diamonds are worth, which is why the two dollar amounts are so far apart.
An alert for every space gift, starting with the Interstellar
Around $106 from a single viewer is too much to thank in passing. The Interstellar therefore gets its own alert first, and the two neighbours on the ladder follow with alerts of their own size, so nobody has to guess which space gift just landed.
1 Open Actions & Events in TikFinity and build the Interstellar’s action: a launch clip or animation, a sound you pick, an alert text with the sender’s name, and a text-to-speech line that thanks them out loud.
2 Add an event that reacts to “Sending a specific gift”, search the gift field for “interstellar”, pick the entry listed at 10,000 coins, and link it to that action. If a click is unclear, the whole flow is in our TikTok alerts guide.
3 Repeat the pair for the neighbours: a shorter clip and a quick sound for the Galaxy, the longest clip and the biggest sound you have for the TikTok Universe. Three gifts, three events, three sizes of alert.
4 Add your overlay screen as a source in TikTok LIVE Studio or OBS Studio and fire all three through the Event Simulator while you’re still offline, so you see the sizes side by side before any viewer pays for one.

And if you want the astronaut’s arrival to look like a launch: the Gift Cannon in TikFinity’s overlay gallery, a Pro card, sends the sender’s profile picture flying across your screen together with the gift, so the viewer behind the Interstellar gets to fly past the whole LIVE.
Interstellar FAQs: coins, dollars, and level locks
10,000 coins as of October 9, 2026, and the price is identical across all 95 regions we checked. If the gift panel shows a different number when you read this, trust what the app says.
Around $106 when the coins come from the web, and more with coin packs bought inside the app. Of that, about $25 reaches the creator.
About 5,000 Diamonds, or around $25 before payout fees. TikTok alone sets the exact Diamond rate, and a creator in another region may see a different figure.
On paper, yes: ten Galaxies also cost 10,000 coins and also bring the creator about 5,000 Diamonds. The difference shows on stream, where one Interstellar is a single big moment instead of ten small ones.
No. The Interstellar carries no level lock, so any viewer with 10,000 coins in their balance can send it. Some big gifts do have one: the TikTok Universe+, for example, only opens at gifter level 40.
