TeamMedia Tools vs tik.tools
Two tools for the same job: an agency finding TikTok LIVE creators and messaging them. Here is what is different, in plain words, with only what we could check.
01 · Side by side
What is different
| Aspect | TeamMedia Tools | tik.tools |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | On our servers, day and night. We set the bot up; you install nothing. | On your own PC (self-hosted). You install it, update it and keep it running. |
| Creator names on the rankings | Visible on the first 3 rows of every board, to anyone. A free account opens one whole league of its region; a package opens regions. | Behind a paywall. |
| How the rankings are read | Collected once a day, region by region, board by board, by our own collector. | Read through an “anchor room” method. |
| Price | Free, then Starter $39 or Pro $99 a month. Paid plans are request-only: you ask from your account page and we send a payment link. | Roughly double the price of our comparable plan, for a larger message quota (as of September 2026). |
| Messages a day | 200 first messages a day at most, on every plan. That is TikTok's own ceiling, and we do not sell past it. | A larger quota, bought up front. |
| Free plan | Yes, for ever: unlimited checks, 5 first messages a day, one league board in full. No card, no time limit. | We have not seen one. Check their site. |
Facts as of September 2026. tik.tools is a separate company with no connection to TeamMedia. If something in the right-hand column has changed, tell us and we will correct it.

What you get with TeamMedia Tools
Every line below is something the site enforces today, not a plan.
A free plan that stays free
Create an account, pick one league board of your region, and it opens in full for ever. Checks are unlimited on every plan; the free plan sends 5 first messages a day, 20 a month. No card, no trial clock.
Names on 3 rows, everywhere
Every board on the site shows its first 3 creators by name to anyone, signed in or not. The rest of a board opens with a package, or with your free league.
One Telegram bot for checks and messages
Send the bot a TikTok @ and it tells you whether the creator fits your rules. Send the first message from the same chat. Messages go out from your own account, and no plan sends more than 200 a day — the account that gets throttled would be yours.
Paid plans on request, not on a checkout
Free, then Starter $39 or Pro $99 a month. You press Request on your account page, a payment link reaches you, and we set the bot up after payment. Cancelling goes the same way. Nothing upgrades on its own.
Leaderboards per region, collected daily
The boards are read once a day for every region we cover, every league in it. Your package decides how many regions open; the free league is your pick, and it opens in full.
See it on the board
The daily ranking of a region, with its first three names open, is on the Tools home.

When tik.tools may fit you better
We would rather say this here than have you find out after a month.
- You want the tool on your own machine and nothing about your work on anyone else's server.
- You would rather buy a large message quota up front than stay inside the 200-a-day ceiling we enforce on every plan.
- Your team already runs it and knows it. Switching costs a week, and a week is worth something.
