Telegram at the panels: channels, groups, posts

Telegram is more densely stocked in the catalogue than its role in the German-speaking market would suggest: 13,022 orderable entries across 17 service classes from 24 catalogues. The reason is the platform's structure — almost everything countable here is publicly visible and can be delivered without access to the account.

The most important distinction on this network is between channel and group. A channel has subscribers, a group has members, and the catalogues regularly file both under one category. We list them separately, because they are two different targets with two different price levels, and an order placed for the wrong target cannot be taken back.

There is also a product found nowhere else: boosts. They do not raise a visible number; they unlock features of a channel, and they are priced differently from everything else on this network as a result.

One figure belongs to the picture as well, because it comes from the fields rather than the titles: the number of offers on this network for which the panel reports a refill through its own interface is 701. This refers to the self-triggerable variant; what the offer name states is a promise, not a field. For channels and groups it is practically the most important property after price, because there what has once been joined is quietly unsubscribed.

The lowest priced base rate on this network is 0.0010 € per thousand units, with the middle of the range at 0.53 €. The lower value is currently set by APISeller — this is a property of a single catalogue and not a market situation, and at the next pull it may sit with a different provider. Both are purchase prices at wholesale level, not what a German-language sales page charges for them.

For a channel there are subscribers, for a group members. This separation is the most common reason for a wrong order on this network, which is why it appears at the very start on both pages.

On the individual post hang views, likes — on Telegram emoji reactions —, comments and shares. Story views sit alongside, because a story disappears after a day and an order is therefore only useful before that.

Boost falls outside the grid: what is bought is not a number but a level that opens additional features for a channel.

Which providers stand behind these rows is listed in the panel comparison.

Between two pulls the catalogue does not stand still. Since 31/10/2026, 925 entries in this scope have a different base price than before, of which 2 upward and 923 downward; 0 rows have been newly added and 0 have disappeared from the catalogues. The stated time is the oldest of these earlier pulls, so that the row does not claim a freshness its slowest component does not have.

The comparison covers only the panels that have a second pull at all; their number is 24 and is not the number of indexed panels, because a newly added provider has no history yet. As long as this second pull is missing, nothing is shown here — a zero would mean "nothing has moved", and that is a measurement, not a gap.

Two details appear in no panel interface and are therefore maintained by hand from the panels' own information: whether a provider issues a proper invoice and which payment methods it accepts. The number of providers with an invoice in this scope is 2. Since 30/08/2026, none of these details has gone unchecked here — the oldest check is shown rather than the most recent, because a date for the last check would conceal the providers that no one has looked at for longest. The number of providers with no check at all is currently 0.

Many of these rows resemble one another down to the quantity limits, and there is a reason: panels buy from the same upstream suppliers. Where entries from different providers within a class exceed our similarity threshold, we group them and mark the more expensive rows with a note that they probably sell the same source — not all of them, because where the price gap can only be a counting error, the note is omitted. The number of groups touching this section is 1,370, and the number of marked rows is 2,206.

"Probably" carries this sentence. No panel writes into its interface who it buys from; we see two rows that resemble each other, which is a hint and not evidence. The groups also do not divide the stock — what is counted is what touches this section. The measurement is described in detail in the panel comparison.
