Key numbers

  • Price: 500 Stars — 120,000 UZS;
  • Per Star: 240 UZS, whatever the amount;
  • Delivery: usually about 10 seconds, up to 5 minutes under the public offer;
  • Payment: a transfer from an Uzcard or Humo card — via Payme, Click or a banking app;
  • What you need: only a Telegram username;
  • Where: @starsjoybot.

500 Stars is one of the most common amounts for personal use: enough for several gifts, paid posts and services inside bots. Buyers usually ask two things: is 120,000 UZS more than the price elsewhere, and what do 500 Stars actually buy? Here are both answers, with numbers.

How much do 500 Telegram Stars cost?

It depends on where you buy. The table compares the three main options. Dollar prices are converted to UZS approximately at the Central Bank rate (10.10.2026, $1 ≈ 11,900 UZS).

WherePrice of 500 StarsWhat you need
StarsJoy (@starsjoybot)120,000 UZS — fixed, in somUzcard, Humo or any card; just a username
Telegram app (App Store / Google Play)about $9.99 (≈ 119,000 UZS), varies by countryUsually an international Visa / Mastercard
Fragmentabout $7.5 (≈ 89,000 UZS) + cost of buying TONA TON wallet and crypto

To be upfront: StarsJoy's price is almost the same as the in-app price, and Fragment is cheaper in dollar terms. But on an amount as small as 500 Stars the gap with Fragment is around 30,000 UZS, and to get it you have to sign up on an exchange, buy TON and move it to a wallet. What StarsJoy offers instead is a fixed price in som, paid with a local card — no crypto and no international card.

How is the price calculated?

StarsJoy charges the same rate for any amount: 240 UZS per Star. The math is simple:

500 × 240 = 120,000 UZS.

There is no surcharge for a small amount and no discount for a large one. No commission or hidden fee is added — you transfer the amount you see in the bot. The price follows the rate at the time of the order, so check the amount in the bot before paying.

What can 500 Stars buy?

The easiest yardstick is Telegram's regular gifts, which cost from 15 to 100 Stars:

Gift priceHow many with 500 StarsOne gift in UZS
15 Stars333,600 UZS
25 Stars206,000 UZS
50 Stars1012,000 UZS
100 Stars524,000 UZS

Beyond gifts, 500 Stars usually go on:

  • Paid posts — unlocking locked photos and videos in channels;
  • Channel subscriptions — monthly subscriptions paid in Stars;
  • Bots and mini apps — in-app purchases and services;
  • Reactions — supporting a creator with a paid reaction.

100, 500 or 1,000 — which one do you need?

Because the rate is the same, the choice depends on what you need, not on price:

PackPriceBest for
100 ⭐24,000 UZSTrying it out, one or two gifts
500 ⭐120,000 UZSSeveral gifts, paid content, bots
1,000 ⭐240,000 UZSRegular use, lots of gifts

500 or 1,000? Buying 1,000 doesn't make a Star cheaper — it's still 240 UZS. So "buy more, save more" doesn't apply here. Buy what you need now; if you run short, top up later at the same rate.

It doesn't have to be exactly 500. You type the amount yourself in the bot. For example, 700 Stars cost 168,000 UZS and 300 Stars cost 72,000 UZS.

Larger amounts: 5,000 Stars price and 10,000 Stars price.

Why is the price different in the app and on Fragment?

Telegram app. In-app purchases run through the App Store or Google Play. They set prices by country and take a commission on each purchase — in the US, 500 Stars cost about $9.99. In Uzbekistan the real obstacle isn't the price but the payment: the app usually requires an international card and doesn't work with Uzcard or Humo.

Fragment. Telegram's official platform sells Stars at roughly $0.015 each, but only for TON cryptocurrency. If you already use crypto, it's a reasonable route.

How do I pay 120,000 UZS?

At StarsJoy, payment is a transfer to the card the bot shows you, so you can make it from whichever app suits you:

  • Payme or Click — the fastest route if your card is already linked;
  • Your banking app — from the bank that issued your Uzcard or Humo;
  • Another card — if one card doesn't have enough balance.

120,000 UZS fits comfortably within daily transfer limits, so limits are rarely an issue at this amount. Two things matter: send the money to the exact card shown in the order window, and send the exact amount shown. If a different amount arrives, the system won't recognise the payment.

How to buy 500 Stars

  1. Open the bot. Open @starsjoybot in Telegram and choose Stars.
  2. Amount and username. Type 500 as the amount and enter the Telegram username that should receive the Stars — yours or someone else's.
  3. Pay. Transfer 120,000 UZS to the card the bot shows, via Payme, Click or a banking app.
  4. Receive. Once the payment is confirmed, Stars usually arrive in about 10 seconds. Under the public offer, orders are fulfilled within 5 minutes.

Is it safe, and what if the Stars don't arrive?

An order needs only a Telegram username. A password, SMS code or login details are never requested — anyone who asks for them is a scammer.

Under the StarsJoy public offer:

  • If the payment went through but the order failed for a technical reason, you get a full refund;
  • To claim it, send your payment receipt through @starsjoy_bot (support) within 24 hours;
  • If a wrong username was entered and the Stars went to someone else, the payment can't be refunded — so check the username twice before paying.
