FAQ

Telegram Stars pricing, answered

How much does 1 Telegram Star cost?

About $0.0141 bought on the web, Fragment or desktop, and about $0.02 bought inside the iOS or Android app. The difference is Apple and Google's commission on in-app purchases, which Telegram prices into the mobile packs.

Why are Telegram Stars cheaper on desktop?

There is no app-store commission on a desktop or browser purchase, so Telegram charges the underlying price. Buying 1,000 Stars on the web instead of in the app saves about $6.04 — roughly 43% of the price.

Has the price of Telegram Stars changed?

The dollar price has been stable since Stars launched: Telegram sets it centrally and has not moved the web rate or the payout rate. What changes is the price in your own currency, because that follows the exchange rate, and the in-app price in your country, because app-store price tiers get re-cut periodically.

Is there a discount for buying Telegram Stars in bulk?

Marginal at best. Larger packs carry a slightly better per-Star rate, but the saving is nothing like the 30% you avoid by buying outside the mobile apps. Choose the route first and the pack size second.

Do Telegram Stars cost more in some countries?

In-app prices follow Apple and Google's local price tiers, so they round differently country to country and include local tax. Web and Fragment prices are set in US dollars, which makes them the more predictable option — your only variable is the exchange rate your card applies.
