The TikTok Rose is one of the most common gifts people can send during TikTok Live streams — but how much do all of those Roses really cost? While regular TikTok videos are still the app's bread and butter, the live streaming component is just as important. Live streams regularly appear on the For You page, and a dedicated 'Live' button in TikTok makes live streams just one tap away. You'll regularly see people using TikTok Live to show off their dance moves, makeup routines, workouts, etc.
One of the ways TikTok Live stands out is with its gifting system. When watching someone on TikTok Live, viewers can send virtual gifts to the live streamer. These gifts are either stickers or AR effects and let you show your appreciation for the video. One of the most common TikTok Live gifts is the iconic Rose. You can find the Rose by tapping the 'Gift' button on a TikTok Live video, or by simply tapping the dedicated 'Rose' button. Regardless of how you find it, sending a Rose on TikTok Live costs 1 TikTok coin.
The Rose Is One Of TikTok's Cheapest Gifts
With the price of 1 coin, the TikTok Rose is one of the cheapest gifts you can send on TikTok Live. Other 1-coin gifts include the TikTok logo, Wishing Bottle, and Ice Cream Cone. However, the Rose stands out as one of the most recognizable. It's sweet, simple, and the easiest gift to send on TikTok Live (thanks to its dedicated button).
But how much does that 1-coin Rose actually cost with real money? TikTok sells a few different coin packages, the cheapest giving users 65 coins for 99 cents. That works out to around 1 and 1/2 cents per coin — and 1 and 1/2 cents per Rose. If you buy 65 coins for 99 cents, you can send 65 Roses. And there are more expensive coin packages, too. If you purchase 330 coins for $4.99, you can send 330 Roses.
Are there more exciting TikTok Gifts available? Absolutely. The famous Lion gift displays a virtual Lion on the live stream, while the TikTok Universe gift surrounds the video with a bunch of TikTok memorabilia. But with those gifts costing 29,999 coins and 34,999 coins, respectively, they cost a lot more than the simple 1-coin Rose. The Rose may not be the most jaw-dropping TikTok Live gift around, but if you want to send your favorite creator something and don't have a lot to spend, the Rose's low price makes it a great choice.
How To Buy Coins On TikTok
All TikTok purchases are made on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, depending on whether a user is using an iPhone or Android device. To buy Coins from a TikTok account, tap 'Profile' at the bottom and then go to 'Settings and Privacy.' Tap on 'Balance' and then 'Recharge.' Select a Coins package of choice, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase.
Users can also buy Coins from a TikTok video. To do this, tap the Comments button and then tap 'Gifts' in the comment bar. Tap 'Recharge,' choose a Coins package, and proceed to make a payment. It's worth noting that if the 'Gifts' button doesn't appear in the comment bar of a video, it means that the TikTok creator isn't eligible to receive gifts at that time. Gifts can be sent both on the For You feed and Live feed, but TikTok users need to be 18 years old to send them.
