TikFinity vs Native Connector
Two ways to bring TikTok LIVE events into BakoshApp — when to pick TikFinity (free) and when to pick the Native Connector (PRO).
BakoshApp offers two independent ways to receive TikTok LIVE events (gifts, likes, follows, chat) and route them to in-game actions. You only need one of them — pick the one that matches your plan and tolerance for extra software.
Quick decision
- You're on the Free plan → use TikFinity. It's the only option available without a PRO subscription.
- You're on PRO → use the Native Connector. One less program to launch and fewer moving parts.
If you already have a working TikFinity setup and don't want to migrate, you can keep using it on PRO too — the two paths can even coexist for different actions.
Both setups assume you stream from PC, which requires TikTok Live Studio to host the LIVE. The two connectors only differ in how they deliver TikTok events into BakoshApp — they don't replace Live Studio.

What each path requires
Both paths assume you're already streaming a TikTok LIVE from PC via TikTok Live Studio — that's a hard requirement for any PC-based TikTok stream.
TikFinity path
- PC running BakoshApp.
- Installed and signed-in TikFinity desktop app.
- A Trigger inside TikFinity whose Action is Third-party action, pointing at a BakoshApp action that has a Tikfinity trigger assigned.

Native Connector path
- PC running BakoshApp with an active PRO subscription.
- Open the mod page → Events & Actions → press Trigger next to an action and pick Gift / Like / Chat / etc.

Can I use both at once?
Yes. Each action carries its own trigger. An action with a Tikfinity trigger is routed via TikFinity; an action with any other trigger type (Gift, Like, Chat, …) is routed via the Native Connector. Pick per-action, no global switch.
Which one should I pick?
If you have PRO, start with the Native Connector — it's the simpler setup. Reach for TikFinity only if you specifically want to reuse an existing TikFinity workflow, or if you're on the Free plan.
If you're not sure yet which plan to choose, see Free vs PRO. For trigger types in BakoshApp (Gift, Like, Min-Max, …), see Triggers.
