65 countries, monthly price. @PremiumBot — invoices the bot issued to our accounts on September 15, 2026, one account per country; App Store and exchange rates — as of September 15, 2026. “vs US” is relative to the bot's US invoice ($3.99).
In GramGPT you buy Premium right from the account manager — by card or in the web form, and for countries without card payment, as a gift from another of your accounts.
Try GramGPTTelegram Premium doesn't cost the same everywhere: the monthly price ranges from $2.58 to $5.41 depending on which country your account is registered in — more than double between the cheapest and most expensive regions. Below is an up-to-date comparison across 65 countries, why the gap exists, and what to know before you pay.
How Telegram sets your price
Telegram bills Premium based on your account's country, not the country your card was issued in. That means the price depends on the region set in your Telegram profile, regardless of which bank or card you use to pay.
These regional differences reflect local purchasing power and currency exchange rates — the same approach Netflix, Spotify, and most other subscription services use. It isn't a bug, a regional promo, or a mistake.

For reference: in the US, Canada, and most of the baseline group of countries (including Belarus and Armenia), Telegram Premium is $3.99/month. In India it's $2.72/month, and in Nigeria $3.17/month.
Cheapest and most expensive countries
- Cheapest: Ukraine ($2.58), Pakistan ($2.59), and India ($2.72) — 30–35% below the US price.
- Most expensive: Denmark ($5.41), Israel ($4.92), and Colombia ($4.84) — 21–36% above the baseline.
A spread this wide isn't unusual — Apple, Google, and most large subscription platforms apply similar regional pricing logic.
@PremiumBot vs. the App Store and Google Play
App Store and Google Play prices include the store's commission, so buying Premium directly through Telegram's official @PremiumBot is almost always cheaper than subscribing inside the iOS or Android app.
In most countries, you pay by entering card details directly inside the bot. In several regions — including the US, UK, Germany, Brazil, India, and Mexico — payment goes through a separate Smart Glocal web form instead.
Is switching your account's region worth it?
Telegram doesn't publish official instructions for changing your account's region specifically to get a lower price, and the price is tied directly to that region. In practice, changing it involves real friction — such as needing a phone number tied to another country — and there's no guarantee the outcome stays stable over time. It isn't a reliable way to save money.
FAQ
What determines the Telegram Premium price?
The country set on your Telegram account, not your card's currency or issuing country.
Why is @PremiumBot cheaper than the App Store?
Because App Store and Google Play prices include the app store's commission, while paying directly through the bot doesn't.
How much is Telegram Premium in the US?
$3.99 a month — the same baseline price shared by dozens of countries, including Canada and Armenia.
Does the price change over time?
Yes — regional prices are periodically adjusted to track currency exchange rates, so it's worth checking the current table before you pay.
