Rewarded, interstitial, task and native Telegram ad formats compared

Quick answer

Rewarded ads are opt-in and fit Mini Apps with an in-app currency; interstitial ads are full-screen and fit natural breaks such as between levels; task ads reward an action like joining a channel; native ads are sponsored channel posts or bot messages. Most publishers combine an opt-in format with a capped interstitial, and advertisers pick the format that matches their destination.

Key takeaways

Rewarded: opt-in, best user experience, needs a reward to offer.
Interstitial: high visibility, must be frequency-capped.
Task: drives a specific action such as joins or app opens.
Native: fits channels and bots, reads like content but must be labeled.

Rewarded ads

The user chooses to watch an ad in return for a reward, such as coins or an extra life. Because the user opts in, rewarded ads usually feel least intrusive. Grant rewards from a verified server callback, not only a client event.

Interstitial ads

A full-screen ad shown at a pause in the flow. Highly visible, but showing them too often hurts retention. Cap frequency per user and never show one in the middle of an action.

Task ads

The user completes a task — join a channel, start a bot, open a Mini App — and receives a reward. Useful for advertisers who need a specific action. Measure whether those users stay, not only whether the task was completed.

Native ads

Sponsored posts in channels and sponsored messages in bots. They match the surrounding content, so clear ad labeling matters. Best for reaching channel readers and bot users.
