Our platform helps users discover quality channels, helps channel owners understand their performance, and helps advertisers reach targeted audiences.

Premium features like detailed analytics, historical data, and advanced comparisons require a free account. Advertising options are paid services.

Analytics & Data

How accurate are your analytics?

Our data is sourced directly from Telegram's public API and updated daily at 00:00 UTC. We track subscriber counts, post engagement, and growth metrics with high accuracy. However, please note:

  • Subscriber counts are rounded for channels with 1M+ members
  • Engagement rates are calculated based on public posts only
  • Historical data may have slight variations due to API limitations

For the most sensitive decisions, we recommend verifying critical metrics directly with the channel owner.

What does the citation index mean?

Citation index measures how often other Telegram channels mention or forward content from this channel. It's calculated based on:

  • Number of unique channels referencing this channel
  • Frequency of mentions over the last 30 days
  • Authority of the channels making the references

A higher citation index (0-100 scale) indicates stronger influence and reputation within the Telegram ecosystem. Channels with scores above 70 are considered highly influential.

How often is channel data updated?

We update different metrics on different schedules:

  • Subscriber counts: Daily at 00:00 UTC
  • Engagement statistics: Every 6 hours for active channels
  • Win rates (betting channels): Weekly on Sundays
  • Rankings: Recalculated daily

Last update timestamp is shown on each channel's detail page for transparency.

What is the win rate metric for betting channels?

Win rate is calculated for betting tip channels based on their posted predictions. We analyze:

  • Posted tips with clear odds and outcomes
  • Results tracked over a 30-day rolling window
  • ROI (return on investment) at level stakes

Channels must have at least 50 tracked tips to display a win rate. This metric helps users identify consistently profitable tipsters, though past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
