How to buy Telegram Stars — a step-by-step guide

Telegram Stars are Telegram's in-app currency: you spend them on mini-app subscriptions, reactions, and donations to channels and bots. You can buy them right inside the Telegram app, but there the price is tied to the App Store / Google Play and can be noticeably higher. Here's how to buy Stars through Utya Stars for less, without logging into your account.

Step 1. Enter the recipient's username

On the "Stars" tab, enter the public Telegram username — yours or that of whoever you're gifting the stars to. You never enter a password, a verification code, or account access — none of that is required for a purchase.

Step 2. Choose the amount of stars

Enter how many Stars you need — the price recalculates automatically. The minimum purchase is 50 stars, the maximum is 100,000 per order.

Step 3. Choose a payment method

• GRAM (ex. TON) — no fee
• SBP via QR code — 4% or 6%, depending on the receiving bank
• Bank card (RUB) — 6%
• CryptoBot — 2%
• Crypto (USDT) — no fee

Step 4. Pay and receive the stars

After payment, the Stars are credited to the recipient — usually within a few seconds to a couple of minutes. A refund is impossible once they're sent on-chain, so double-check the recipient's username before paying.
