Quick answer
The only Telegram subscribers worth paying for are real people who chose to join. With Adsun you do not buy accounts: you buy ad impressions or clicks in Telegram Mini Apps, bots and channel posts, and interested users tap through and subscribe to your channel or group. You set the country, language, budget and CPM or CPC bid, so you control the cost per subscriber = ad spend ÷ new subscribers. Fake or bot subscribers are cheaper per head but never read posts, lower your view rate and can get the channel restricted.
Key takeaways
- Pay for ads that bring real subscribers, never for bot accounts.
- Cost per subscriber = ad spend ÷ new subscribers.
- Target the country and language your channel is written in.
- Judge results by subscribers still present after 7 days.
Why people buy Telegram subscribers
- A new channel or group needs its first readers to look credible.
- Sponsors and partners look at views per post, not just subscriber count.
- Organic search inside Telegram is slow for new channels.
- Paid growth lets you test a niche quickly with a fixed budget.
Real subscribers vs. bots and fake members
- Bought bot accounts never open posts, so your view rate collapses.
- Advertisers will not pay for a channel with inflated numbers.
- Sudden waves of fake members can trigger Telegram restrictions or spam reports.
- Real subscribers from ads read, react, share and can become customers.
Who benefits from paid Telegram subscriber growth
- New channels in crypto, trading, news, education and entertainment.
- Brands and online stores that run a Telegram community.
- Mini App and game teams building an announcement channel.
- Groups and communities that need active members, not numbers.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data
An advertiser spends $150 over 7 days on a CPC campaign. The ads get 120,000 impressions and 1,800 clicks (CTR = 1,800 ÷ 120,000 = 1.5%; CPC = 150 ÷ 1,800 ≈ $0.083). 540 users start the bot or join the channel (conversion = 30%), so cost per user = 150 ÷ 540 ≈ $0.28. 7 days later 380 are still active: cost per retained user = 150 ÷ 380 ≈ $0.39. Use your own numbers from the Adsun dashboard.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Telegram subscribers through Adsun?
You buy advertising, not accounts. Adsun shows your ad in Telegram Mini Apps, bots and channel posts, and people who are interested join your channel themselves.
Are these real subscribers?
Yes. Every subscriber is a Telegram user who saw your ad and chose to join. Adsun applies bot, VPN/data-centre and fraud checks to ad traffic.
How much does one Telegram subscriber cost?
There is no fixed price; it depends on niche, country, language, creative and your channel. Calculate it as ad spend ÷ new subscribers and see current minimum bids on the pricing page.
Can I buy Telegram members for a group too?
Yes. Use your group invite link as the destination; the same targeting and cost-per-member math applies.
Is it suitable for a brand-new channel?
Yes, once the channel has a description, a pinned welcome post and several recent posts, so visitors have a reason to stay.
Is buying fake subscribers a good idea?
No. Fake subscribers do not read posts, damage your view rate and make the channel worthless to advertisers. Paying for real reach is the safer option.
