Followers are one question. This one is different: are the likes and comments real? The free check reads the engagement on the recent posts against what creators this size on TikTok actually get.
They are sold separately, they cost different amounts and they leave different marks. Telling them apart is most of the job.
The cheapest, by a distance. They arrive in bulk shortly after a post goes up, from accounts that will never comment. The mark is a like count far out of proportion to views, with a comment count that did not move.
Groups of real creators who agree to like and comment on each other within minutes of posting. The accounts are genuine, so nothing about them looks fake individually. What gives it away is the timing, the repetition of the same names, and comment text that would fit under anything.
Paid comments, usually a handful of words, often emoji only. They are what someone buys when they have been told that comments matter. Read a few and the pattern is immediate: nothing in them refers to the video.
Every engagement figure is a ratio, and the useful reference is not a benchmark article but what creators of that size on TikTok measurably get. ChamsPilot compares each figure with a range built per platform and per follower band, so "8% of viewers liked this" is judged against the accounts it should be judged against rather than against a number someone published in 2019.
The single most useful ratio on TikTok is likes as a share of views. Bought likes push it up; an account that bought views instead pushes it down. Both are outside the range, in opposite directions, and the direction tells you which was bought.
The second is comments as a share of likes. Real audiences comment in a rough proportion to how much they like, and that proportion is fairly stable for a given creator. Thousands of likes with almost nothing underneath is the shape of a purchase, because the buyer paid for the cheap part.
The third needs no arithmetic at all: look at whether the engagement is the same on every post. Real posts vary · some land, most do not. A feed where every post has within a few percent of the same likes is a feed where the likes were ordered, not earned.
Both have 200,000 followers and both average 24,000 likes a video. One bought them.
Account B is the case a follower check can miss entirely: its followers may be perfectly real people who followed it years ago. What was bought is the engagement on top, and the give-away is that half of everyone who saw the video apparently liked it while almost nobody said anything.
| Account A | Account B | |
|---|---|---|
| Views a video | 150,000 | 48,000 |
| Likes a video | 24,000 | 24,000 |
| Likes as a share of views | 16%, high but within range | 50%, past anything measured at this size |
| Comments a video | 310 | 12 |
| Comments per 1,000 likes | 13 | 0.5 |
| Variation across posts | Views 40,000 to 900,000 | Every post within 5% of the same likes |
| Reading | A strong account | The likes were ordered |
The follower count is identical and so is the like count. Only the ratios separate them, which is why an engagement check is a different check.
The free check reads the numbers. The paid audit reads the comments themselves, which on TikTok is where the cheap fakes fall apart:
The cheapest bought comment is a string of emoji. Counted as a comment by every rate calculator, worth nothing as a signal · the audit separates them from comments with words in them.
Farms reuse their stock. When the same six sentences appear under unrelated accounts, they came from one supplier.
Accounts with no videos of their own, created in the same period, commenting on nothing else.
What a post is worth once the engagement that is not real is taken out, with promoted videos left out of the price.
| Signal | What counts as normal | What gets flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Likes against views | Inside the range TikTok creators of that size measurably get | Far above it: more of the viewers liked than any comparable creator sees |
| Comments against likes | Comments grow with likes, at that account's own proportion | Thousands of likes with almost no comments under them |
| Engagement across posts | Varies: some posts land, some do not | Nearly identical on every post regardless of how the post did |
| Lifetime likes against followers | In the range for that follower count | Far below it, while the recent posts look strong |
| Comment text and authors (AI Deep Check) | Comments about the video, from accounts that post | The same short phrases, from accounts with nothing of their own |
TikTok engagement is read against VIEWS, not followers: most of a video's audience arrives from the For You feed rather than the profile, so a follower-based rate says almost nothing.

4.8 / 5 · 1,247 ratings
These ratings cover this tool and the others built on the same engine. They come from people we have worked with and from visitors rating here. How we collect them
Likes, comments, saves and shares that did not come from people who watched the post. They are sold by the thousand, traded in groups where members like each other's posts, or produced by comment farms that leave a few words under everything. It is a different problem from fake followers: an account can have a completely real audience and still buy likes on every post.
Compare the numbers with what creators of that size measurably get on TikTok, and with each other. Likes far past the range for the account's size, comments that do not grow with the likes, and engagement that is identical on every post regardless of how the post did are the three that show up without reading a single comment.
A group of creators who agree to like and comment on each other's posts, usually within minutes of publishing. From outside it shows as comments arriving in a tight burst right after posting, from the same accounts every time, with text that fits any post. The free check sees the shape; the AI Deep Check reads who the commenters are.
Yes. Every major platform's terms prohibit artificially inflating engagement, and all of them remove what they detect. The more practical risk for a brand is simpler: you are paying for an audience that will not buy anything, because it was never watching.
Look at likes as a share of views, and compare it with what TikTok creators of that size actually get. Bought likes push that share far above anything comparable creators see, and they arrive without comments, because comments cost far more to fake. An account whose posts all sit at almost exactly the same engagement, whatever the video, is the other tell.
Likes and views are the cheap ones, sold by the thousand. Comments cost several times more and still read like nothing. Saves and shares are harder again. That price ladder is why the cheapest fake accounts look strong on likes and empty underneath.
Yes, and an account can have one without the other. Bought followers inflate the denominator and push engagement rates down. Bought likes inflate the numerator and push them up. A creator with real followers and bought likes reads as suspiciously strong, not weak · which is exactly why a follower check alone misses them.
