Creator Studio | Category top spot
Category top puts your listing in the promoted first row of a homepage column in Top by Category (AI Agents, Wallets, Games, or Communities).
Where it appears
On tg.app, scroll to Top by Category. Each column has one promoted row above the organic top 5. When the slot is empty and you are signed in with an eligible listing, you may see a dashed Promote your app here row that links straight to checkout.
Eligibility
| Column | Who can book |
|---|---|
| AI Agents | Approved mini apps or bots in the AI Agents category |
| Wallets | Approved mini apps or bots in the Wallets category |
| Games | Approved mini apps or bots in the Games category |
| Communities | Approved channels or groups |
Each column allows one active promotion at a time. Other listings can still book future dates after the current run ends.
Booking calendar
Checkout includes a start-date calendar (up to 120 days ahead):
- Choose your category column (only eligible columns are shown).
- Pick a duration (7 to 365 days).
- Select an available start date. Occupied days are blocked for the full run length.
- Complete payment with Telegram Stars, TON, or USDT.
If a column is live today, the calendar shows when it opens next and lets you reserve that window.
Current bookings
The calendar lists active and upcoming bookings for the column so you can plan around them. Your promotion starts on the date you pick and runs for the full duration you paid for.
Renewals
While your listing already holds the same column and the run has not expired, buying again extends the end date from the current expiry (no gap).
Creator Studio path
- Open My Apps and choose an approved listing.
- Go to Category top (
/creator/apps/[id]/promote-category). - Review the offer, then use the calendar checkout.
Guest checkout from a public listing page follows the same calendar when Category top is available for that listing.
Full package note
The Complete visibility package bundles promote, category top, and verification. It requires the category top column to be available today (immediate start). Future-only dates are not supported in the bundle.
