Frequently asked questions

TGGroups is a self-hosted directory script for Telegram groups, channels, bots, mini apps, sticker and emoji packs, chat folders, themes and profiles. Visitors submit links, the script reads their details and type, moderators approve them and everyone browses by type, category, country and language.

It includes a request firewall, security headers, encrypted sign-in, a password policy, two-step verification, IP blocking, Force HTTPS, CSRF protection and database backups. You still need to keep your hosting and passwords safe.

1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, or Lifetime. Every period includes the complete script; longer periods cost less per month.

Yes. Open a ticket from your client area and we will switch your license to the new period from the next renewal.

A first purchase can be refunded if you ask within 7 days and the license has not been activated on a live domain, or if TGGroups cannot be made to work on a server that meets the requirements. The full rules are in our terms of use.

Prices are shown in Indian rupees. Taxes are added at checkout according to your billing details; add your GSTIN before paying to have it on the invoice.

Coupons are announced from time to time. Clients can join the affiliate program from the client area and earn commission when the clients they refer pay.

The license is blocked a few days after the due date and the admin panel asks for a valid license. Your data stays in your database; paying the invoice unblocks it automatically.
