TikTok adds £3.99 ad-free subscription in the UK
TikTok is introducing an ad-free subscription option for users aged 18 and over in the UK, priced at £3.99 per month. This new monetization model will be rolled out gradually to eligible accounts.
Key Takeaways
- Price is £3.99 per month for the TikTok Ad-Free subscription.
