Telegram Stars alternative

Stop giving away 35% of your PPV revenue.

Telegram Stars look free — until you cash out. On mobile you lose more than a third of every sale to app-store and crypto conversion fees, then wait out a 21-day hold before the money is real. Creator Chat sends PPV links inside your Telegram chats and pays you in actual EUR or USD through Fangate.

The real cost of Stars

What happens to a €1,000 PPV sale?

The old way · Telegram Stars
  • Fan pays€1,000.00
  • Apple / Google in-app fee (30%)−€300.00
  • Stars → TON conversion (~3%)−€30.00
  • TON → EUR/USD conversion (~2%)−€20.00
  • Agency payout~€650.00

Routed through TON crypto, a 21-day hold and a 1,000-Star minimum before it reaches your bank.

The smart way · Creator Chat + Fangate
  • Fan pays€1,000.00
  • App-store fee€0.00 · bypassed
  • Fangate fee (12.5%)−€125.00
  • Agency payout€875.00

Direct to your account in real EUR or USD — no crypto, no hold.

On a €1,000 sale that's ~€225 more in your pocket — before you even count the days saved waiting on a withdrawal.

And that's before any other fees that may occur along the way. Keeping the conversation on Telegram — and the payment on Fangate — is how agencies protect both the fan relationship and the margin.

The alternative

Same Telegram chat. Real EUR or USD.

Nothing about how your team chats changes. Only the payment rail does — from Stars and TON to a direct card payment in the fan's currency.

STEP 01

Chat in Telegram

Your chatters work every creator's Telegram inbox from one calm workspace, with roles, account switching, and unlimited accounts.

STEP 02

Pull content from the Fangate vault — or upload new — and send a sale link straight into the conversation. No tab-switching, no copy-paste.

STEP 03

Get paid in fiat

The fan pays in EUR or USD by card. No app-store markup, no Stars-to-TON conversion, no waiting on a hold.

Figures reflect the mobile purchase path. Desktop purchases keep more, but you can't choose where your fans buy.

Questions, answered

Telegram Stars, honestly explained.

Does Telegram take a cut of my Stars?

No. Telegram doesn't charge a creator-side commission — you receive 100% of the Stars sent to your balance. What eats into the money sits elsewhere in the chain: Apple's and Google's ~30% in-app-purchase fee on mobile, plus the Stars-to-TON and TON-to-fiat conversion steps. Together that comes to roughly 35% on the mobile path.

How much do creators actually keep from Stars?

On mobile purchases, creators effectively keep around 65% of what the fan spent, after the app-store fee and the crypto conversion steps. Desktop purchases keep more, but you can't control where your fans open Telegram.

What's the best alternative to Telegram Stars for PPV?

Selling PPV through a direct payment provider that pays out in fiat. Creator Chat integrates Fangate, so you send PPV sale links inside Telegram DMs and receive real EUR or USD — no app-store markup, no Stars-to-TON conversion, no 21-day hold.

Do I have to move off Telegram to stop using Stars?

No. You keep selling inside Telegram exactly as you do now. Creator Chat is a Telegram CRM, and the Fangate PPV link is sent right in the conversation. Only the payment rail changes — from Stars to direct EUR or USD.

How long does it take to get paid?

Stars require a 21-day hold, a 1,000-Star minimum, and a conversion through TON before you reach fiat. A direct Fangate PPV sale is a normal card payment in EUR or USD, so you skip the crypto detour entirely.

Stop selling in Stars. Start getting paid.

Run your creators' Telegram chats and PPV sales in one calm workspace — and receive real EUR or USD, not Stars. Free, unlimited accounts, no credit card.
