RecTok vs Arkaiva: Two Telegram TikTok Recorders Compared

Arkaiva is the closest thing to RecTok on this list: both are Telegram Mini Apps for recording TikTok lives. You add creators, they auto-record in the cloud, and the video arrives in Telegram. Because they're so similar, the differences that matter are transparency and whether you can reach your recordings outside Telegram.

What they share

Both run as a Mini App inside Telegram, both let you add creators to auto-record, both deliver the recording to your Telegram chat, and both are free to start. If all you want is "add a creator, get their lives in Telegram," either one does that.

Pricing transparency

At the time of writing, Arkaiva's premium price isn't published, HD 1080p sits behind a paywall, and its watchlist limits aren't clearly stated. RecTok lists its plans openly on the pricing page and charges via Telegram Stars in-app, so you can see exactly what you get before paying.

A web presence, not just Telegram

This is the clearest split. Arkaiva keeps recordings inside Telegram only — there's no web-side archive. RecTok also has a public website: a browsable library of recordings and a creators directory. That means you can rewatch a recording from any browser, share a plain link with someone who isn't in your chat, and discover creators outside Telegram.

Which should you choose?

• Arkaiva if you only ever want a Telegram-only surface and nothing else.
• RecTok if you want the same Telegram convenience plus transparent pricing and a web library to rewatch and share.
