Local prices as listed, a US dollar equivalent for each, and an honest look at when a local plan costs less than a gift.

**Quick answer — What does Telegram Premium cost in each country in 2026?**

Telegram Premium’s price by country ran from $3.25 a month in Indonesia to $6.69 in the United Kingdom, in US dollar terms, across the 30 App Store storefronts **Aurelstar** read on 4 November 2026. The annual plan ran from $24.75 to $42.12. Both renew on your own account; neither is a gift. Fragment’s 12-month gift cost $28.99.

## What does the study show?

**Telegram Premium has no single price: on 4 November 2026, the same monthly plan cost about twice as much in the United Kingdom as in Indonesia.** The table gives the local price as each storefront listed it, then a US dollar equivalent for comparison.

The figures cover the two recurring plans, monthly and annual. Both are subscriptions that renew on your own account, through a store account in that country. A dash means the item is not among the 10 items the App Store shows for that storefront, so a dash does not prove the plan is missing.

## Which country has the cheapest Telegram Premium?

**Indonesia had the lowest monthly price, at $3.25, and the lowest annual price, at $24.75.** Pakistan, India, the Philippines and Egypt followed on the monthly plan, all under $3.50. On the annual plan, the Philippines, Egypt and India came next, at $25.03, $25.28 and $25.30.

These are equivalents at one day’s exchange rate. A local price belongs to a store account in that country, and this study reads prices: it is not a guide to changing store region.

## Is a local App Store plan cheaper than a Premium gift?

**Sometimes: it depends on the storefront, and the two products are not the same.** Of the 24 App Store storefronts that listed Premium Annual when Aurelstar read them on 4 November 2026, 9 were under Fragment’s $28.99 and 12 were under Aurelstar’s $30.44. Those plans are renewing subscriptions on your own account, not gifts, and they need a local store account.

Aurelstar is not always cheaper than in-app. On 4 November 2026, the App Store annual Premium plan cost less than Fragment’s $28.99 in 9 of the 24 storefronts that listed it, and less than our $30.44 in 12. The storefronts under Fragment’s price were Indonesia, Philippines, Egypt, India, Vietnam, South Korea, Turkey, Brazil and Pakistan. Kazakhstan, Mexico and Ukraine complete the list under Aurelstar’s price.

Over 3 months, three monthly payments cost less than Aurelstar’s $12.59 plan in 15 of the 30 storefronts. The same limit applies: that is a renewing subscription on your own account.

On 4 November 2026, the US App Store listed Premium at $4.99 a month and Premium Annual at $35.99, both renewing subscriptions for your own account. Fragment’s 12-month gift cost $28.99, and our 12-month plan costs $30.44. We do not claim to be the cheapest: some crypto sellers charged less on 4 November 2026. For 1,000 Stars, where our price is $15.75, split.tg showed $15.30, Gramix from $15.30 and GMPAPA $15.45.

## How do Premium gifts compare with the US App Store?

| Term | Fragment gift | Aurelstar gift | US App Store subscription |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 month | Not sold | Not sold | $4.99, renewing |
| 3 months | $11.99 | $12.59 | Not in the top 10 |
| 6 months | $15.99 | $16.79 | Not in the top 10 |
| 12 months | $28.99 | $30.44 | $35.99, renewing |

*Read on November 4, 2026.*

Aurelstar is not an authorized Telegram reseller and is not affiliated with Telegram. Telegram’s Premium terms have no clause on resale, and Fragment’s terms let a buyer give a subscription away; a ban on the account can still remove Premium with no compensation. Fragment’s form carried a “-20% SALE” label on 4 November 2026, and nobody outside Fragment knows when it ends.

## What are the one-off Premium items in the App Store?

**Some storefronts also list Premium as a single item for 3, 6 or 12 months.** Aurelstar found a one-off 3-month Premium item in 13 of the 30 App Store storefronts it read on 4 November 2026, from $14.10 to $19.86 in US dollar terms. A one-week item appears in most storefronts at about $1 to $1.60, and a three-day item in Canada and Australia.

## Why does the price change from one country to another?

**Three things move the price: the storefront’s own price list, local taxes and the exchange rate.** The Premium terms say local taxes can be added, and that payment providers may apply their own commissions and conversion rates (section 1.2).

Telegram’s FAQ adds two points. Prices at @PremiumBot are discounted because no store fee applies. Gifted subscriptions use a global rate, so they work between countries. The one-off items above still differ by storefront, so store pricing and exchange rates keep moving them.

For what each term costs on every route, see [How much does Telegram Premium cost in 2026?](https://aurelstar.com/how-much-does-telegram-premium-cost/ "How much does Telegram Premium cost in 2026?")

## What does this study leave out?

**Three routes or items are not in the table, and a price list does not prove availability.**

- **@PremiumBot:** it has no public price page and needs a Telegram login, so it was not opened. Third-party pages quote about $3.99 a month, which is a secondary figure.
- **Google Play:** prices per item were not captured.
- **Items outside the top 10:** the App Store shows 10 items per storefront.

Telegram publishes no list of countries where Premium is blocked. A June 2024 user ticket says Premium is not available in Germany, and a seller, MyStars.tg, says that block continued into 2026, yet the German App Store lists the plan. Old figures also circulate: Indian news from 2022 reported a cut to ₹179, while the App Store showed ₹319 on 4 November 2026.

## How can I buy Premium without a local store account?

**A gift goes to a @username and is paid outside the stores, so it uses no local store account.** Fragment’s gift page and crypto sellers both work that way, for 3, 6 or 12 months. Premium comes in plans of 3, 6 or 12 months. There is no 1-month plan: Fragment has none. Aurelstar’s prices are in [How much do Telegram Stars and Premium cost at Aurelstar?](https://aurelstar.com/pricing/ "How much do Telegram Stars and Premium cost at Aurelstar?"), and the steps are in [How do I buy Telegram Premium with crypto?](https://aurelstar.com/buy-telegram-premium-with-crypto/ "How do I buy Telegram Premium with crypto?")

## How was this study made?

**Aurelstar read each storefront at its own App Store URL on 4 November 2026.** Local prices are copied as listed. Dollar equivalents use the rates of open.er-api.com, last updated at 00:02 UTC that day. Pages were served to a French IP, with the storefront chosen by URL. No purchase was made and no store account was used.
