Telegram's documentation on the 30-day period uses the word "currently" — terms may change. That is why the claim is phrased "as of 15 Jul 2026". Comparative advertising is permitted under Art. 11 of Ukraine's Law "On Advertising" provided it compares objectively verifiable characteristics.

What this means for you

Three practical differences

Not just 30 days

Monthly, yearly, "forever" or a trial — pick the model that fits your content. Native Stars subscriptions, as of 15 Jul 2026, give exactly 30 days.

Hryvnia without conversion

Money arrives in hryvnia to your sole-proprietor account. With Stars, hryvnia doesn't arrive directly — a separate withdrawal and conversion step comes first.

Fiscal receipts out of the box

Every payment is fiscalized via Checkbox PRRO and reported to the tax service. Native Stars subscriptions don't provide Ukrainian PRRO fiscalization.
