I don't see anything about pricing.
- catapart 3mo agoI'm also curious about this.
- dist-epoch 3mo agosounds free to me
- lukan 3mo agoBut will it stay free, once enough people invested in it? Telegram engaged in a bit shady crypto stuff, and let scammer bots roam freely. Also there are perks, if someones troll/harass/spam and scam groups and enough people report them, they get temporary or permanently restricted - unless they pay money to Telegram. Then they are free to troll again.
- simonw 3mo agoThe lack of a clear business model does make me hesitate in building anything substantial on it. Supposedly Telegram has been profitable since 2024 but there's crypto stuff mixed in there so it's hard to know how stable that is.
- dakolli 3mo agoThe have a massive advertising business, and charge for premium accounts. Not sure what makes you doubt them when other platforms, like Signal, have zero business model and are just providing services "out of the goodness of their heart" (not suspicious at all).
- simonw 3mo agoI want to understand the business model behind this specific feature.
- mfkp 3mo agoProbably doesn't cost much at all to run some servers to spin up javascript functions, compared to their massive storage costs. It's at best a fraction of a percent of total costs. Whether or not they (or discord for that matter) can sustain a profitable business in the long term is another question.
- sam_lowry_ 3mo agofree so far.
- freeatnet 3mo agoThere isn't anything about pricing yet because it's in closed beta. Source: https://t.me/devs/199669 https://t.me/devs/199669
