Short answer: 12 months (1 year) of Telegram Premium cost 422,000 UZS at StarsJoy — about 35,200 UZS per month or 1,160 UZS per day, the best value of all plans. That's roughly 300,000 UZS a year less than the monthly subscription in the Telegram app. Open @starsjoybot, choose 12 months under Premium, add the username, and transfer the sum to the card the bot shows you from your Uzcard or Humo — via Payme, Click or any banking app, no Visa needed. Premium is usually active in about 10 seconds. No password or SMS code is ever needed.
The yearly plan is the one regular Premium users end up on: you pay once, forget about renewals for a year, and get the lowest price per month. Before buying, people usually want three numbers — the exact price, how it compares per month with 3 and 6 months, and how much the same year costs in the Telegram app. Here they are. Prices are as of 19.10.2026, from the 12-month Premium page.
How much does Telegram Premium cost for 12 months?
It depends on where you buy. Dollar prices are converted to UZS at the Central Bank rate (17.10.2026, $1 = 12,055.90 UZS).
| Where | Price for 1 year | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| StarsJoy (@starsjoybot) | 422,000 UZS (≈ $35) — fixed, in som | Uzcard, Humo or any card; just a username |
| Telegram app — monthly subscription | $4.99 × 12 = $59.88 (≈ 722,000 UZS) | Usually an international Visa / Mastercard; renews automatically |
| Telegram app — annual subscription | cheaper than monthly, but the price varies by country | App Store / Google Play and an international card |
Why the gap? In-app payments go through the App Store or Google Play, which take up to a 30% commission and set prices per country. For most people in Uzbekistan, though, the real obstacle is the payment method: in-app purchases usually need an international card and don't accept Uzcard or Humo. At StarsJoy the amount is in som, known upfront and paid straight from your Uzcard or Humo card.
What does 12-month Premium cost per day?
The math is simple:
422,000 ÷ 365 ≈ 1,160 UZS per day, or 422,000 ÷ 12 ≈ 35,200 UZS per month.
For comparison, a day costs ~1,900 UZS on the 3-month plan and ~1,270 UZS on the 6-month plan. The yearly plan is the cheapest per day — and that covers 4 GB uploads, voice-to-text, in-app translation, no Telegram sponsored messages and the Telegram Business tools. It's a single payment with no commission or hidden fee: you transfer the amount you see in the bot.
3, 6 or 12 months — which is better value?
| Plan | Price | Per month | A full year on this plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 months | 172,000 UZS | ~57,300 UZS | 688,000 UZS (4 purchases) |
| 6 months | 232,000 UZS | ~38,700 UZS | 464,000 UZS (2 purchases) |
| 12 months | 422,000 UZS | ~35,200 UZS | 422,000 UZS (1 purchase) |
12 months vs 3 months. Buying 3 months four times costs 688,000 UZS a year — 266,000 UZS more than one yearly plan (about 39% more per month).
12 months vs 6 months. Two 6-month plans cost 464,000 UZS — 42,000 UZS more per year. The yearly plan is cheaper, but it asks for almost twice as much money at once. More on the half-year plan: Telegram Premium 6 months price.
Who is the 12-month plan for?
- Everyday Premium users — the lowest price per day and nothing to renew for a year;
- People who work in Telegram — 4 GB files, voice-to-text and translation get used daily;
- Small businesses — Telegram Business tools are included at no extra cost (see Telegram Business vs Premium);
- Gift givers — a year of Premium is a substantial present; only the recipient's username is needed.
Trying Premium for the first time? 3 months is enough to decide. What you get: Telegram Premium features.
How to get 12 months of Premium
- Open the bot. Open @starsjoybot in Telegram and choose Premium.
- 12 months and username. Pick the 12-month term and enter the Telegram username that should get Premium — yours or someone else's.
- Pay. Transfer exactly 422,000 UZS to the card the bot shows, via Payme, Click or a banking app. A different amount won't be recognised.
- Receive. Once the payment is confirmed, Premium is usually active in about 10 seconds. Under the public offer, orders are fulfilled within 5 minutes.
422,000 UZS is a large transfer, and some cards have a daily limit — check yours first or pay from another card. When the year ends, Premium simply switches off: there's no auto-renewal and your card is never charged later. See what to do when Telegram Premium expires.
Is it safe, and what if Premium isn't activated?
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 Premium was activated for someone else, the payment can't be refunded — so check the username twice before paying.
