iTasks payment methods
A PRO subscription and an AI token pack are both assigned to a specific workspace, but they are different digital products. The available payment method depends on where you open iTasks.
Where and how you can pay
| Where you use iTasks | PRO subscription | AI token pack |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram: bot and Mini App | Telegram Stars | Telegram Stars |
| Web version at web.itasks.io | Bank card or Telegram Stars | Not available yet |
Telegram Stars in the bot and Mini App
In Telegram Mini App, you can pay with Telegram Stars for PRO at 499 Stars per month with auto-renewal, or as a one-time payment of 2,495 Stars for 6 months or 4,990 Stars for 12 months, which is 1 and 2 months free. A 6- or 12-month period does not renew automatically: 30 days before it ends you get a reminder, and you can pay for the next period in advance without losing your paid days. You can also buy a separate 5,000 AI token pack at 100 Stars. The pack is not a subscription, does not include PRO, and does not extend it.
Bank card or Stars at web.itasks.io
In the web version at web.itasks.io, the workspace owner chooses a payment method right on the Subscription screen. Card payments happen on the same page: the payment window opens over the app, monthly, six-month, and annual periods with auto-renewal are available, and PRO is activated as soon as the payment is confirmed. If you choose Telegram Stars, the invoice opens in the Telegram app, which requires signing in with Telegram. On the same screen, you can cancel auto-renewal for both card and Stars subscriptions, resume card auto-renewal before the paid period ends, and review the workspace payment history.
The AI token pack is sold only for Telegram Stars inside Telegram: it cannot be bought by bank card or in the web version yet. Purchase effects and separate refund rules are described under Digital goods and AI token packs and Refunds.
Why payment methods differ
This is not a product decision to hide payment options. Telegram has rules for digital goods and subscriptions inside Telegram. The payment method must match the platform where the purchase starts.
- In Telegram, the PRO digital subscription and the separate AI token pack are sold through Telegram Stars. We cannot show card payment for these purchases inside the Mini App.
Card payment is available outside Telegram: in the web version at web.itasks.io. There you can choose one month, six months, or one year, with a discount for six-month and annual plans. The same 6- and 12-month discounts are also available with Telegram Stars.
Card prices
| Period | Price | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $9.99 | No discount |
| 6 months | $49.95 | Save $9.99: one month free compared with monthly billing. |
| 12 months | $99.90 | Save $19.98: two months free compared with monthly billing. |
The prices shown do not include local taxes. Tax depends on the payer's country. The payment window may show the amount in your local currency, converted by the payment provider.
What you can do on the Subscription screen
The Subscription screen is available to the workspace owner in the web version at web.itasks.io.
- Pay for PRO by bank card for 1, 6, or 12 months with auto-renewal.
- Use different types of cards when they are available in your country and supported by the payment provider.
- Pay for PRO with Telegram Stars: the invoice opens in Telegram, which requires signing in with Telegram.
- Switch from Stars to card payments: Stars auto-renewal is turned off, your paid days are kept, and nothing is charged to the card today.
- Review the current subscription and the workspace payment history: amount, period, status, payment method, and transaction ID.
- Cancel auto-renewal with the Cancel auto-renewal button in the Current subscription block, for both card and Telegram Stars subscriptions. PRO stays active until the paid date in the workspace time zone.
- Resume card auto-renewal before the paid period ends: nothing is charged today, and your paid days are kept.
- Receive a Telegram reminder on the last paid day: it shows the access end date, the expected charge, and a button that opens the Subscription screen.
In the Telegram Mini App, a card subscription cannot be canceled: to pay with Telegram Stars, first cancel card auto-renewal in the iTasks web version.
How to pay by card
- Open web.itasks.io and sign in to iTasks.
- Open the menu and select Subscription in the Administration section.
- Choose Bank card and a period: 1, 6, or 12 months.
- Click Pay and confirm the payment in the window that opens over the app. PRO is activated as soon as the payment is confirmed.
- To stop renewal, click Cancel auto-renewal in the Current subscription block and confirm. Before the paid period ends, you can turn card auto-renewal back on with Resume auto-renewal.
