TikFinity is a free third-party tool for TikTok LIVE streamers: it adds alerts for gifts and follows, sounds, chat text-to-speech, goals and mini-games. You connect it with your @username, no TikTok password, and add overlays as a link in TikTok LIVE Studio, OBS or Streamlabs. The free plan covers the basics, and Pro removes the limits.
What TikFinity is and who needs it
TikFinity turns a plain stream into an interactive one: a viewer sends a Rose and an animation pops up with a sound, someone types a command in chat and an action fires. The service isn't officially affiliated with TikTok and runs in the browser and as a desktop app. Key features:
- sound and visual alerts for gifts, follows, likes and shares;
- chat text-to-speech (TTS) and a chatbot with commands;
- goal overlays, gift counters and a subathon timer;
- integrations with games (such as Minecraft), Spotify song requests and Stream Deck.
All of this only works when there are people in chat. Until your audience builds up, you can support the start with TikTok LIVE viewers — from $0.82 per 1,000 for 15 minutes, with longer packages available, no password. The active chat and gifts will come from real viewers your interactive setup hooks.
How to sign up and connect TikFinity to TikTok
- Open the official TikFinity website or download the desktop app from there.
- Sign up or log in to your dashboard.
- Enter your TikTok @username (the handle, not the display name). The service doesn't ask for your TikTok password — if a site does, it's a fake.
- Go live: TikFinity connects to an active stream, and no events come through before you start.

How to add TikFinity alerts to LIVE Studio and OBS
- In Actions & Events, create an action (for example, GIF + sound) and attach an event to it: gift, follow, subscription.
- Below, in the Overlay Screen settings, copy the URL.
- OBS / Streamlabs: Sources → "+" → Browser → paste the link.
- TikTok LIVE Studio: Sources → Link → paste the link.
- Test the alert with the play button or the event simulator, and position the overlay so it doesn't cover your face or chat.
Sounds, goals, TTS and chat commands: what to set up first
- Sounds for popular gifts. Start with cheap ones (Rose, hearts): they're sent most often, and a sound shows the viewer they've been noticed. Gift prices in coins are listed in TikTok LIVE gifts.
- A stream goal. A bar like "500 likes and I'll do the challenge" gives viewers a clear reason to join in.
- TTS. It's best to limit chat read-outs to followers or gifters and turn on a word filter so insults don't go on air.
- Chat commands. Simple commands like !song or !socials answer common questions and keep chat active.
Don't overload the stream: 3–5 well-tuned alerts work better than a dozen loud sounds.
TikFinity free or Pro: what's in each plan
The free plan is enough to get started. According to the TikFinity blog and 2026 comparisons:
- Free: up to 5 sound alerts, a limited number of actions and events, a daily TTS limit and one stream profile.
- Pro: unlimited sound alerts, unlimited TTS with AI voices, premium overlays, several profiles and early access to new features. Comparisons mention a price of about $19 a month, but check the current cost in your dashboard.
The logic is simple: while streams aren't bringing in gifts, Free is enough; Pro makes sense once the limits start getting in the way.
Common TikFinity problems and how to fix them
- "Not connected" — the stream isn't live or the @username is wrong.
- Alert is visible but silent — in OBS, enable audio control via OBS for the browser source and check the mixer.
- Overlay is blank — the link wasn't copied in full or it's the wrong overlay screen number; refresh the source.
- Delayed alerts — a few seconds is normal, since events travel through TikTok's servers.
- Streaming from a phone — visual overlays won't work, but sound alerts are available via TikFinity Mobile.
Alerts and goals amplify what's already happening in chat, so gather people first — 12 ways are covered in how to get viewers on a TikTok LIVE. TikTok's rules are against artificial activity, so add starter viewers in moderation and stay engaged with the real chat. And if you don't have LIVE access yet because of the 1,000-follower threshold, you can close the gap with TikTok followers from ads — $6 per 1,000, up to 300 a day, no password.
