Before you start
- Is it accurate?
TokConnect Shop Analytics estimates revenue and units from TikTok Shop sold counts and listed prices: units track TikTok's own sold counter, and revenue is units times the listed price. TokConnect leaves out products and shops the feed flags for a placeholder price.
- Is it allowed?
TokConnect is read-only. It reads public TikTok and TikTok Shop data and never logs in to your TikTok or Seller Center.
- What does it cost?
TokConnect starts free, no card. Paid plans from $34.99 a month, billed yearly.
- Does it work in my AI?
Yes. TokConnect puts the same data inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and n8n through its MCP server, and in the TokConnect research agent.
Price check: FastMoss's US web plan starts at $29 for the first month, then $49 a month. Kalodata's US App Store plan is $45.99 a month. TokConnect starts free, with no card. Source: fastmoss.com/pricing, 20 October 2026.
How we got these numbers
From TokConnect Shop Analytics, TikTok Shop US, for the 30 days from 27 September 2026 to 26 October 2026. Updated 29 October 2026. The videos are the 25 top-selling videos built for the video ranking: five product searches found the 25 best-selling products, each product's top 20 videos came back from product method video_sales, the source's own top 10 joined them, and the 30 with the most revenue were re-read with video method sales, which returns the ad figures. The ad figures are the source's: ad revenue share, ad spend, return on ad spend and ad share of views. Whether a video runs as an ad uses the source's ad flag. The AI-generated flag is the source's. Cost per acquisition is returned only for the source's own top 10 (21 October to 26 October 2026), so it appears only in the second table. The share of revenue from ads for a group is the sum of each video's revenue times its ad share, divided by the group's revenue. Revenue is units times the listed price. No handle, id or link to an individual ships in the data. Data: JSON, CSV, evidence. Background reading: What is GMV on TikTok? and How to see competitor sales on TikTok Shop.
