Telegram Ads cost: CPM and realistic budgets

How Telegram Ads CPM pricing works, what drives cost up or down, and budgets for test vs scale.

What drives price

Telegram Ads bills impressions (CPM). CPC is a derived metric for creative and funnel analysis — not a separate billing model.

  • CPM is the billing model in Euro cabinet
  • Track CPC post-click for optimization
  • Fintech and crypto niches cost more

Typical starting ranges

TRAFFIX recommends tracking cost per lead, not CPM alone. Post-click funnel changes unit economics dramatically.

  • Test: €300–500 per hypothesis
  • Optimize 7–14 days
  • Scale after stable CPA
