Four questions before you switch from TikHub
Are the Shop numbers accurate?
Shop Analytics figures 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 whose price looks wrong are flagged, and we left them out of the table above.
Is it allowed?
TokConnect is read-only. It reads public TikTok data, never logs in to your TikTok or Seller Center account, 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, and failed calls are free.
Does it work in my AI and my code?
One click adds it to ChatGPT or Claude through OAuth, one line adds it to Cursor, and scripts call the same MCP endpoint with Authorization: Bearer. Setup for each client is on Connect; code samples are on TokConnect for developers.
How we checked
Shop data. On 20 October 2026 we called TokConnect's MCP server (v3.0.0): product_top_selling with keyword "power bank", window 30d, limit 30 (511 matches; dataEnd 18 October 2026, so the window is 19 September to 18 October 2026); then product method trend and method creators on the top power bank, id 1732227736494117882. The table keeps rows in TikTok Shop's Power Banks category and drops rows marked with an unreliable price. Creator handles are masked. 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 TikHub's pricing and MCP pages and Scrape Creators' pricing, MCP docs and OpenAPI spec again on the same day. We did not sign up for paid plans; prices are list prices. Facts file.
Price arithmetic. TokConnect: $49/500 = $0.098 a call, $99/2,000 = $0.0495, $199/8,000 = $0.024875; the 2,000-call job is $196 at the Starter rate, exactly one Growth month ($99), or $49.75 of a Pro month. TikHub: $0.001 to $0.01 x 2,000 = $2 to $20 at list price. Scrape Creators: $47/25,000 = $1.88 per 1,000 and $497/500,000 = $0.99 per 1,000, one credit per video and per comments page, so 2,000 credits = $3.76 or $1.98. HasData: $2.46 per 1,000 TikTok requests on Startup, and its first comments page includes the video, so the job is 1,000 requests. EnsembleData: $100 for 1,500 units a day is 45,000 units in a 30-day month, $0.00222 a unit, and post info costs 2 units, so 1,000 post-info calls = $4.44. Apify and Bright Data bill per result and per record.
Tool count. 32 tools and 129 lookups from TokConnect's live tools/list, 21 October 2026 (tool list).
