What is the TikTok Galaxy gift?
The Galaxy costs 1,000 coins (~$14.13 USD on web pricing) and triggers a swirling galaxy animation that fills the screen for several seconds. It's one of the most popular "statement" gifts because it sits in a sweet spot: expensive enough to feel meaningful, cheap enough that mid-tier supporters can send a few per stream.
Galaxies often signal "big fan, recurring viewer" — many creators have regulars who drop a Galaxy at the start of each Live to thank them publicly.
How much creators earn from a Galaxy
A Galaxy converts to 500 Diamonds → roughly $2.50 USD in real earnings for the creator. That's about 17% of the original $14.13 spend, which is in line with the platform's standard cut once App Store fees and revenue split are accounted for.
