If anyone needs it at all.
The Telegram messenger, popular in Russia and not only, launched on June 19, 2022 a paid subscription to Telegram Premium around the world. See the benefits of this paid subscription in our Telegram channel here in this post (there is short and to the point) or on the official website of Telegram here on this page (more details and pictures).
Also, all the possibilities of a paid subscription in the Telegram (as Russian speakers often call Telegram among themselves) can be found directly in the application. To do this, open Telegram, go to “Settings” and scroll down a bit to find “Telegram Premium”. It describes in detail all the benefits of a paid account.
How to buy Telegram Premium in Russia cheaper
The cheapest way to subscribe is via Telegram bot @PremiumBot, in which you can pay for a subscription with any Russian card. It will cost 299 rubles per month. Moreover, such a price did not appear immediately, at first it was 379 rubles a month, but on June 21 it dropped.
How to buy “Telegram Premium” in Russia more expensive
You can buy Telegram Premium directly in the Telegram app. To do this, open the application, go to “Settings” and see the “Telegram Premium” item there. There, a subscription costs 449 rubles. At the very top of the description of the features of this paid subscription, among other things, it is said that this is “… an opportunity to support the Telegram messenger.”
Our editors do not see much point in a paid subscription to Telegram, but “to take or not to take” is up to you. Among our readers, only a few gave money for the first month of the Telegram Premium subscription. Most of these payers contributed money not to use new features, but to support Pavel Durov and the team of the Telegram messenger. After all, Telegram remained absolutely free for a long time and did not ask for any money for anything. And I didn’t bother with ads. Some of these subscribers will most likely unsubscribe after a couple of months, realizing that it doesn’t give them any particular advantages and that they don’t really need the announced increase in file size limits, etc.
According to a survey of our readers in VKontakte group and in Telegram channel only 3% will definitely pay for Telegram Premium and further about 20% will think about the expediency of this.
Telegram did not guess with the price
Our editors believe that the launch of a paid subscription for Telegram Premium in Russia was unsuccessful. The main reason – lost with the price. Greedy. Even before the official launch of Telegram Premium, it was discussed in the comments of our social networks that the price of a paid Telegram should be around 150-200 rubles per month. At a price of 150 rubles per month for Telegram Premium, many users of this really practical and modern messenger would give this money away. Not only for features, but in support of the Telegram project team. At the same time, in total, Telegram would have raised much more money than now.
Perhaps the Telegram management will soon realize this and the subscription price will drop to 150 or 200 rubles per month. Such round prices in our time for subscriptions are nowhere to be found, so let it be 149 and 199 rubles per month.
In reality, most of the benefits declared in Telegram Premium are not needed for everyday use of the messenger and reading news in it.
Paid Premium is more suitable for owners of large Telegram channels with a large number of content and subscribers.
