FAQ

What are Telegram Stars?

Telegram Stars is Telegram's built-in currency. Users buy Stars with real money, then spend them on services like SearchLogs. 1 Star ≈ $0.02 USD.

How to check my remaining searches?

Send /status to the bot. It shows your current plan, expiry date, and remaining searches for today.

Can I link multiple Telegram accounts?

No. One Telegram account can only be linked to one SearchLogs account. You can unlink by creating a new account.

Does the plan auto-renew?

No. When your plan expires, you return to Free tier. Buy again via /plans to continue.
