TikTok continues to evolve, and add interesting features and ways to interact with your favorite creators constantly.

What are TikTok coins?

TikTok coins are a form of currency in the popular video-sharing app. Users on the app can buy TikTok coins with their actual money and continue to buy virtual gifts from the coins.

The coins can be sent as a gift to the creator you want to support. Virtual gifts you can send include emojis, and diamonds, along with other virtual gifts.

The best part is that when a creator receives these gifts, they can convert them into real money by withdrawing them from the platform.

However, the exchange rate of the gifts will vary from region to region. The platform itself also takes its share from the virtual gifts sent by a user.

How can you buy cheap TikTok coins?

The best way to get hold of cheaper TikTok coins is by buying them using your computer, rather than the app. While you may be used to buying them in the official TikTok app, here is how you can buy them on your computer:

  1. Go to the official TikTok online store after logging in with your account
  2. Click on your account and select ‘Get Coins
  3. Select the coin plan you’d like to purchase
  4. Select ‘Recharge’ button
  5. Select your preferred payment method and finish the purchase.

After you have completed your purchase, you can spend your TikTok coins within the iPhone or Android app, or continue to use them on your computer.

And there you have it, now you’re able to purchase cheaper coins. Be sure to check out other guides, as well as the latest trends.
