What are Likee Diamonds and Why Are They Important?
Diamonds are Likee's premium currency. They are bought for real money to send virtual gifts during live broadcasts, open AI effects sets and participate in special events. They occupy the main place in the two-track Likee system.
Diamonds against Coins
Diamonds are bought. Coins are earned by watching videos, daily marks in the app, and completing tasks. Coins cannot be used for gifts to streamers or buying premium AI sets. Some guides confuse these concepts, causing new users to expect free coins to cover expenses that only diamonds can do.
What to spend diamonds on
The three main ways to spend diamonds in 2026: Virtual Gifts, sets of AI effects (presented in Likee v5.54.1, March 5, 2026) and Participation in live broadcasts.
| Gift | Cost in Diamonds |
|---|---|
| Luxury vehicle | 2 00D |
| Private aircraft | 3 000D |
| Yacht | 5 000D |
Seven AI sets from version v5.54.1 cost a total of 4,500 - 6,600 diamondsThey are available until April 30, 2026-this is a real deadline for authors who want to receive them.
Are diamonds burning?
Community observations confirm that purchased diamonds do not burn under normal conditions. However, account limits apply: for unverified accounts a limit is set. 5,000 to 10,000 diamonds per monthFor the verified- 50,000 diamonds a monthAre you planning a major replenishment? First verify your account.
Bonus reduction in March 2026: what really changed
On March 1, 2026, Likee cut bonus rates for small packages, partially retaining them for large purchases. This was not a complete cancellation-it was a structural shift that hit users with small spending hard.
Before and After March 1
Prior to the reduction, small packages (less than 5,000 diamonds) had bonuses close to the 40%+ range that are still valid for large packages.
- Less than 5,000 diamonds: bonus dropped to 20 - 30%(buying 500 diamonds now gives 600 - 650 diamonds in total)
- 5,000 diamonds and higher: bonus maintained at 40 - 60%(5,000 diamonds make 7,000; 10,000 diamonds make 14,000 - 16,000)
A 500-diamond package that used to bring 700 + diamonds now yields 600 - 650. This is 50 - 100 bonus diamonds less from each small purchase. Not a disaster alone, but tangible if you are used to replenishing the account with small amounts.
The real difference in cost
Community testing indicates that Repeated small purchases now cost 35 - 40% more for each diamondSending a Yacht gift (5,000 diamonds) by buying five bags of 1,000 diamonds is significantly more expensive per diamond than buying one bag per 5,000 diamonds at once.
| Set | Bonus | Total diamonds | Effective cost (third-party services) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500A | 20 - 30% | 600 - 650A | ~$0,0192/A |
| 1 000A | 20 - 30% | 1 200 - 1 300 A | ~$0,0192/A |
| 5 000A | 40 - 60% | 7 000A | ~$0.0137/A |
| 10 000A | 40 - 60% | 14 000 - 16 000A | ~$0.0113/A |
This difference of 30 - 40% per diamond price between small and large packages is the main essence of the March 2026 update.
Transparency note: The above bonus percentages are based on community testing and widely observed behavior, not on Likee's official press release. The effective date of March 1 is confirmed by the community. If Likee publishes official patch notes, they will take precedence, but at the time of writing, community data is the most detailed and consistent source.
Prices of Likee diamond bags in 2026: a full analysis of levels
Third-party platforms offer the lowest price per diamond. In-app purchases on iOS cost almost 3 times more for the same package sizes.
Prices in iOS vs third-party platforms
| Set | Price for iOS | Price per diamond (iOS) | Third-party price | Price for diamond (external) | Bonus (After March) | Total diamonds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 Diamonds | $3.21 | $0.0322 | $2.92 | $0.0192 | 20 - 30% | 120 to 130 diamonds |
| 5,000 diamonds | $160.80 | $0.0322 | $95.97 | $0.0192 | 40 - 60% | 7,000 diamonds |
| 10 000 diamonds | $321.59 | $0.0322 | ~$113-$192 | $0.0113-$0.0192 | 40 - 60% | 14,000 to 16,000 diamonds |
For Southeast Asian buyers: SEAGM offers packages at a discount of approximately 7% in SGD (100 diamonds for S$2.57; 5,000 diamonds for S$128.58; 20,000 diamonds for S$514.31). Always compare the local price in the app with the price on third-party platforms in USD-the strength of the regional currency affects which option is actually cheaper.
Which package is the most profitable?
A package of 5,000 diamonds is the "golden average" for most buyers. It crosses the 40 - 60% bonus threshold, entitles you to a first 15% discount (reducing the effective value to $0.0113-$0.0133 per diamond) and covers practical needs such as buying a yacht gift or multiple AI sets at a time.
Buying three packages of 5,000 diamonds on a third-party platform gives approximately $10,000. 21,500 diamonds for just $279-$296 - More than twice as many diamonds for the same amount on iOS.
Budget users who cannot afford to spend 5,000 diamonds at once can use the range of 500 - 1,000 diamonds-just accept the fact that the price of a diamond will be higher. The worst strategy after March is to accumulate a few small purchases to reach the threshold of a large gift. Count once and buy a large package at once.
Where to buy Likee diamonds in 2026
There are three legal channels. Each has its own peculiarities.
Option 1: Inside the App (Android and iOS)
The most convenient way is to click on the wallet, select a package, pay through Google Play or Apple App Store. Minus is the platform commission embedded in the prices of the App Store. At the price of $0.0322 per diamond on iOS, you significantly overpay for convenience.
Option 2: Official Likee web portal
The Likee web portal allows you to shop off-app, sometimes at slightly different prices depending on the payment method and region. It is worth checking if you want to avoid App Store fees by staying in the Likee ecosystem.
Option 3: Third-party platforms
There are real savings here. Find the cheapest package of diamonds Likee 2026 Third-party platforms such as loot hub operate completely outside the App Store's commission structure. At $0.0113-$0.0192 per diamond versus $0.0322 on iOS, the difference on buying 5,000 diamonds is about $65-that's enough for another 3,000 - 4,000 bonus diamonds.
Loot-hub supports fast delivery (standard 5 - 30 minutes, less than 2 minutes during off-peak hours), multiple payment methods and simple UID replenishment process. Enable 2FA for purchases of more than 1,000 diamonds.
Red Flags to Avoid
Use only platforms with verifiable transaction history and clear refund policies. Clear signs of danger:
- Absence of HTTPS
- Lack of support contact
- Prices below $0.0100 per diamond without explanation
- Websites that ask for yours password by Likee, not just UID
For legal replenishment, only yours is needed. 10-digit Likee ID - Never give your login details.
How to replenish Likee diamonds through Loot-Hub
The most common error, which accounts for 60 - 70% of delivery problems, is entering the wrong UID.
Step 1: Find your UID in Likee
Your ID in Likee is 10-digit numeric codedisplayed under the name of your profile.
- Open the Likee application
- Click on the profile icon (top left corner).
- Select View/Edit profile
- Your 10-digit ID will appear right under your display name.
Always copy and paste this number. Manual typing errors are the cause of most failed deliveries. ID does not contain spaces, letters or symbols-if what you see contains them, you are not looking for.
Step 2: Select the package on the loot hub
Go to Likee Diamonds section on the loot hub. Given the bonus structure after March, a package of 5,000 diamonds offers the best value per diamond for most users. A 15% discount on the first purchase applies automatically when placing an order.
Step 3: Pay and Complete the Transaction
Before the payment is completed: Disconnect any VPNCommunity testing shows that using a VPN increases the risk of shipping failure by 70 - 94%. Disconnect it at least 10 - 15 minutes before you start depositing and do not turn it on until diamonds appear in your wallet.
Step 4: Check the shipping
Standard delivery time- 5-30 minuteFirst purchases can take up to 24 - 48 hours. The fastest delivery window is Tuesday, from 2 am to 6 am UTC, when delivery is often reported less than 2 minutes in advance. Check Likee wallet balance directly-don't rely on in-app notifications alone.
Addressing delivery problems
If 30 minutes have passed and there are no diamonds:
- Close the Likee app completely and open it again.
- Pull the screen down to upgrade your wallet.
- Clear the app cache if the problem persists.
This solves 80 - 90% of cases of "missing"-diamonds are usually already accrued, but the application has not been updated. If the problem persists for more than 2 hours, contact the Loot-Hub support team, specifying the transaction ID.
Maximizing diamond benefits after March bonus cuts
The reduction in bonuses changed the math, but it didn't abolish smart shopping strategies.
AI Effects Set: The Best Payback for Authors
Seven AI sets from v5.54.1 have the optimal purchase sequence. Beauty AI + SuperMix + One Niche Set (~ 2,600 - 3,000 diamonds in total) as the bundle with the highest return for most authors.
| Package | Price | It is best suited for | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Improving beauty with AI | 300 - 500D | Buty/Lifestyle | No |
| Effects of Time Travel | 600D | Comedy/Transforming | No |
| Effects of superpowers | 600 - 800D | Dance/action | 500 - 1000D on account |
| Advanced hair filter | 600 - 800 D | Portraits/Fashion | No |
| 4D Magic Effects | 800 - 1000D | Dance | v5.54.1 +, Android 9 + and iOS 14 + |
| Mixing SuperMix | 800D | Transitions | 1200D in the Account |
| Special Effects Studio | 1200 D | Cinematographic | No |
Buy Beauty AI first-it creates the status of diamonds needed to unlock the effects of Superpower and SuperMix. Community data also shows that using the main AI effect in the world is a good way to unlock the effects of Superpower and SuperMix. The first 1 - 3 seconds Video increases retention on the recommendation page (FYP) by about 30%, and overlay Beauty AI for 4 - 15 seconds provides sustained engagement.
Free Ways to Get Diamonds That Still Work
Two free sources are still relevant:
- 90-day series of stamps: 2,420 free diamonds in total
- Р е ф р а л ы400 diamonds for each successful guest
None of them will cover the cost of a Yacht gift or full sets of AI effects. But a series of marks is pure passive benefit, don't interrupt it.
Wholesale or small packages: total
If you're spending more than $20 on diamonds a month, a pack of 5,000 diamonds is almost certainly the right choice. Buy Likee diamonds at a discount through third party replenishment With maximum benefit, the combination of third-party platform prices + bonus level of 5,000 diamonds + discount for the first purchase creates a value per diamond that in-app purchases simply cannot compete with.

Any platform that requests login credentials is a categorical "no."
Why are fewer diamonds coming in than expected? Two probable reasons: You bought a package of less than 5,000 diamonds and did not take into account the reduced bonus rate after March, or your unverified account reached the monthly limit of 5,000 - 10,000 diamonds. Verify your account to raise the limit to 50,000 diamonds per month.
Are Likee Diamonds Burning? Based on community observations, the diamonds purchased do not burn under normal account conditions. Monthly limits apply depending on verification status-plan large purchases accordingly.
Prices and bonus bets reflect observations confirmed by the community as of March 2026. Likee can change rates without prior notice-check the current value of packages before buying, especially during promotional periods.
