Telegram subscribers: what the number in Mix 7, Mix 30 and Mix 365 means

The Telegram Subscribers category has six options. They take the same link, the same volume range — from 1 to 10,000 — and they deliver the same thing: subscribers to a channel or a group. The only visible difference is a number in the name and the price per 1,000:

• Mix 7 — $0.25
• Mix 30 — $0.50
• Mix 60 — $0.90
• Mix 90 — $1.35
• Mix 180 — $2.50
• Mix 365 — $3.50

Fourteen times the price for what looks like the same product. The number explains it.

The number is days

It is the retention period: how long the delivered count is held in place. Mix 7 holds for a week, Mix 365 for a year. Everything else — where the accounts come from, the delivery, the limits — is the same across the six.

This is worth stating plainly, because the intuitive reading is wrong. A more expensive tier is not a “higher quality” subscriber in any way you could point at in a screenshot. Nothing about the accounts looks different on the day they arrive. You are buying time, not appearance.

Which one to take

Ask what the number has to survive.

• A one-off. A threshold you need visible today, a screenshot for a deck, a channel you are about to hand over. Mix 7 does that, and the longer tiers are money spent on days nobody will look at.
• An advertiser's check. People buying ad placements look at a channel weeks after they first hear about it, and again before they pay. That is a 30-to-90-day horizon, not a seven-day one.
• A channel you intend to keep. Here the long tiers stop being about the screenshot at all: retention that runs to a year means the base number does not have to be rebought every month.

The arithmetic is simple. A thousand subscribers cost $0.25 on Mix 7 and $3.50 on Mix 365. Rebuying Mix 7 every week for a year costs thirteen dollars against three and a half — but only if you would actually have rebought it every week. Most people do not, which is why the cheap tier is cheap and not a trick.

What retention does not buy

Retention is about the count staying. It is not about anyone reading the channel. None of the six tiers adds views, reactions or replies, and a channel whose subscriber number moved while its view count did not is the first pattern an experienced advertiser checks for. If the goal is ad revenue rather than a number on a page, what is being bought is the ratio between views and subscribers — and subscribers alone move it the wrong way.

It is worth being equally direct about the rules. Telegram's terms, like those of every major platform, prohibit artificial engagement. A retention period is a commercial promise from us: if the count falls inside the window, we top it back up. It is not protection from the platform, and no service can offer that.

Before you order

Telegram subscribers need the public address of the channel or group — the link beginning with https://t.me. Private channels, whose links contain /c/, are not accepted; the form checks this before payment rather than after. No account, password or login code is involved at any point. The public link and the quantity are the whole input.
