Part five · the fine print
What developers ask before moving off Scrape Creators
- Are the Shop numbers accurate?
- They are estimates from TikTok Shop sold counts and listed prices: units follow TikTok's sold counter and revenue is units times the listed price. Rows with a suspect price are flagged; the tables above leave them out.
- Is it allowed?
- TokConnect is read-only. It reads public TikTok data, never logs in to your TikTok or Seller Center, and never posts or messages anyone.
- What does it cost?
- 50 free credits with no card, then $49 for 500 credits a month, $99 for 2,000 or $199 for 8,000. One tool call is one credit; failed calls are free.
- Does it work in my AI and my code?
- One-click OAuth adds it to ChatGPT or Claude, one line adds it to Cursor, and scripts call the same MCP endpoint with
Authorization: Bearer. Setup is on Connect; code samples are on TokConnect for developers.
How we checked
Shop data. On 20 October 2026 we called TokConnect's local MCP server (v3.0.0): product_top_selling with keyword "phone case", window 30d, limit 100 (699 matches; dataEnd 18 October 2026, so the window is 19 September to 18 October 2026); product method trend and method creators on the top phone case, id 1732548253602910716; and shop_top_selling with keyword "phone case", limit 10. The keyword match is broad (it also returned tool cases, tablets and doorbells), so the product table keeps rows in the "Cases, Screen Protectors & Stickers" category whose title names a case, and drops rows flagged with an unreliable price. Creator handles are not shown. Evidence file.
Competitor facts. Every competitor cell comes from TokConnect's vendor matrix, checked against each vendor's OpenAPI spec, docs and pricing pages on 20 October 2026. We re-read Scrape Creators' pricing, MCP docs and OpenAPI spec (video endpoint: 1 credit per live scrape; comments: 1 credit per page that returns comments) and TikHub's pricing and MCP pages on the same day. Prices are list prices; we did not buy plans. Facts file.
Price arithmetic. Scrape Creators: $47/25,000 = $1.88 per 1,000 and $497/500,000 = $0.99 per 1,000. TokConnect: $49/500 = $0.098 a call, $99/2,000 = $0.0495, $199/8,000 = $0.024875, so $98, $49.50 and $24.88 per 1,000 calls. TikHub: $0.001 to $0.01 a request = $1 to $10 per 1,000. Manifold MCP: $20/2,500 = $8 per 1,000 credits, with video detail up to 10 credits. HasData: 10 credits per TikTok request, $2.46 per 1,000 requests on Startup. Apify's TikTok Scraper bills $1.70 per 1,000 results.
