Telegram Analytics Tools: The 9 Best for 2026 [Tested & Reviewed]

Telegram analytics tools track what Telegram’s native analytics won’t show you: subscriber growth, engagement rate, post performance, and sentiment, on channels and groups across the app’s 1 billion+ monthly users.

I tested nine of them to find out which ones are worth paying for and which ones you can skip.

Here’s what I found out!

Running out of time? Here’s a shortcut:

Best Telegram analytics tools shortlist

1. Brand24, best for brand and competitor monitoring across Telegram and beyond
2. TGStat, best for free, public Telegram channel analytics
3. LiveDune, best for marketers managing Telegram alongside other social platforms
4. Popsters, best for comparing content performance across channels
5. TeleMe, best for group admins who need moderation and analytics together
6. Telemetrio, best for vetting a channel before you pay for ad placement
7. Combot, best for large public groups that need moderation baked in
8. Mentionlytics, best for monitoring Telegram mentions as part of a broader listening stack
9. Statiko, best for tracking channels you don’t own or admin

Best Telegram analytics tools

Here’s a curated shortlist with a side-by-side look at features, use cases, and key strengths.

And a quick reality check before we dive in: Telegram’s own in-app statistics only unlock once a channel has over 500 subscribers, and even then, they’re limited to views, growth, and basic demographics.

That is exactly why a third-party analytics tool, or a Telegram analytics bot added directly to a group, ends up on most channel owners’ minds sooner than they expect.

01 Brand24

Brand24 is a media monitoring tool best for brands and agencies that need Telegram mentions in the same dashboard as everything else they’re already monitoring.

The tool collects mentions from public Telegram channels, and you can filter results using t.me to analyze Telegram-only discussions.

Why I picked Brand24?

1. It puts Telegram mentions next to X, Reddit, news, forums, and review sites in a single feed, so a Telegram spike doesn’t sit in a separate tool from the rest of your monitoring.
2. The AI Brand Assistant feature can flag sentiment shifts and summarizes what changed, instead of leaving you to scroll raw mention lists to spot a problem.

🔍 Monitored sources: Telegram channels and groups, plus 20+ other platforms including X, Reddit, news sites, blogs, forums, and review sites.

In the Analysis Tab, you’ll find detailed insights such as:

• Volume of Telegram mentions
• Estimated reach
• Sentiment breakdown (positive, negative, neutral)
• Trending topics around your brand
• Competitor performance
• Advertising Value Equivalent (AVE)

✅ Pros

• Sentiment analysis
• Competitor tracking alongside your own brand
• AI-powered topic and trend analysis + reporting
• Very intuitive dashboard, minimal setup time
• Multi-source monitoring beyond just Telegram

❌ Cons

• Pricier than Telegram-only tools if you just need channel stats

02 TGStat

TGStat is an analytics platform that monitors millions of public Telegram channels, groups, and chats.

It consists of two distinct products: 

1. A completely free database of statistics for Telegram channels – organized and filtered by country with strong presence in Russia, Ukraine, and several other countries, but not strictly limited to them.
2. Individual channel analytics – this works for many public channels worldwide, though not necessarily every single one. Some of the metrics are available for free, while more detailed ones require the premium version.

Best for anyone who wants deep, free-to-start analytics on any public Telegram channel, including channels they don’t own.

My tip – if your country is not covered in the database view, you can still check the global rating of channels. 

Why I picked TGStat?

1. The public channel database and citation index are free to browse, so you can benchmark a channel’s ranking and growth before paying anything.
2. Premium analytics adds subscriber growth curves and post-view breakdowns that go deeper than what’s available on most competing tools at this price point.

🔍 Monitored sources: Public Telegram channels and chats only, no private groups.

✅ Pros

• Free public channel database and rankings
• Citation index is a Telegram-specific metric you won’t find elsewhere
• Works on channels you don’t own or admin
• Affordable premium tier

❌ Cons

• No sentiment analysis or cross-platform monitoring
• No free trial
• The dashboard is a bit outdated

With a premium plan, you can view chat statistics, including:

• Subscriber growth rate and dynamics
• Reach and average views per post
• Channel citation index
• Advertising reach and efficiency
• Member activity and best posting time

03 LiveDune

LiveDune is a social media analytics and management platform that provides detailed statistics and publishing tools for Telegram and other social networks.

Best for marketers who manage Telegram as one channel among several and want scheduling and reporting in the same place.

Why I picked LiveDune?

1. It puts Telegram engagement metrics next to Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms in one report, so you’re not exporting five separate dashboards to build one client update.
2. The built-in AI Assistant suggests posting times and content angles based on what’s already performing, instead of leaving that analysis to you.

🔍 Monitored sources: Telegram plus other major social platforms managed through the same account.

✅ Pros

• Cross-platform reporting, not Telegram-only
• Content scheduling built into the same tool
• User-friendly interface for non-technical teams
• Historical data goes back further on higher plans

❌ Cons

• Telegram-specific depth is lighter than dedicated Telegram tools like TGStat
• Higher plans get expensive fast for agencies with many accounts
• 7-day trial is short for testing a full reporting cycle

When it comes to Telegram, you get a full set of tools like a channel analyzer, user insights, competitor analysis, and Telegram marketing research.

What differentiates LiveDune is its teamwork support and AI Assistant.

Teams can collaborate within a single dashboard, schedule posts, and generate custom reports based on collected statistics.

🔑 Key features

• Channel and chat analyzer: Monitor follower growth, reach, and engagement for your own Telegram channels and external public channels.
• Competitor analysis: Compare performance metrics between multiple Telegram channels to identify growth opportunities and content gaps.
• Marketing research support: Use performance data to inform campaign strategy, advertising placement, and content decisions.
• Post optimization insights: Evaluate individual post performance to determine which formats and publishing times work best.
• Post scheduling: Plan and publish Telegram content directly from the platform (for connected accounts).

04 Popsters

Popsters is a social media analytics tool that supports Telegram channel analytics alongside other social networks. 

It’s best for testing which content formats actually drive engagement, on your own channel or a competitor’s.

The tool allows you to analyze any public Telegram channel or chat by simply entering its link, without requiring admin access or bot integration.

This makes it also useful for competitor analysis and market research.

Popsters provides insights into:

• Number of subscribers
• Average views, likes, and comments
• Engagement rate (ER) and visibility rate (VR)
• Hashtag performance

Why I picked Popsters?

1. It lets you compare content performance across multiple public channels side by side, without needing admin access to any of them.
2. Hashtag and post-type breakdowns make it easy to see which format is actually driving views versus which one just feels like it is.

🔍 Monitored sources: Public channel post-level data, views, likes, comments, and hashtag performance.

✅ Pros

• Affordable entry price
• Works without channel ownership or admin rights
• Clear content-format comparisons
• Post-level content analysis (evaluates text length, attachments, content format)
• Simple, low-learning-curve interface

❌ Cons

• No group-level moderation or management features
• No sentiment or brand-mention monitoring
• Limited to content performance, not broader listening

05 TeleMe

TeleMe is a group management and analytics bot designed specifically for Telegram communities.

Instead of acting like a typical channel analytics tool, it’s designed to help you manage and grow large Telegram groups.

Best for group admins who want moderation and analytics from the same bot instead of running two.

Why I picked TeleMe?

1. Smart Responder automates replies to common questions in active groups, which cuts down on manual moderator work as a community grows.
2. Anti-spam filtering runs alongside the analytics, so admins aren’t stitching together a separate moderation bot on top of a separate stats bot.

Plus, TeleMe offers analytics and management features such as:

• Community growth rate
• User activity data
• Historical trend reporting
• Real-time insights

🔍 Monitored sources: Telegram group message activity, member growth, and engagement.

✅ Pros

• Free tier is genuinely usable for smaller groups
• Moderation and analytics in a single bot
• Team collaboration features for multi-admin groups
• Real-time activity insights

❌ Cons

• Built for groups, not much use for channel-only accounts
• Message-volume pricing can add up for very active communities
• No cross-platform or Telegram-adjacent monitoring

06 Telemetrio

Best for vetting a Telegram channel before you pay for an ad placement on it.

Why I picked Telemetrio?

1. It’s fraud and “cheater” tagging flags channels with inflated view counts, which matters a lot to anyone who plans to spend a media budget on a placement.
2. It tracks advertising posts over time, so you can look back at how a specific placement actually performed instead of taking the channel owner’s word for it.

🔍 Monitored sources: Public Telegram channels, advertising posts, and channel-level fraud signals.

✅ Pros

• Free plan covers basic channel verification
• Fraud/cheater detection is a genuine differentiator for ad buyers
• Large catalog of public channels to search
• Affordable Pro tier for regular ad-buy due diligence

❌ Cons

• Built around ad-buying use cases, less useful for general brand monitoring
• No sentiment analysis

07 Combot

Best for large public groups that need serious moderation and analytics from the same bot.

Why I picked Combot?

1. Trigger-based auto-moderation runs in the same bot as the activity analytics, so admins aren’t managing a moderation bot and an analytics bot separately.
2. The “top contributors” view surfaces who’s actually driving engagement in a group, which is useful for spotting community leaders worth engaging directly.

🔍 Monitored sources: Telegram group activity, member behavior, and engagement trends.

✅ Pros

• Widely used, mature moderation feature set
• Free tier works for a single smaller group
• Activity trends and top-contributor tracking
• Professional reporting on the paid tier

❌ Cons

• Moderation relies on keyword matching, not behavioral detection, so it can miss scams that avoid flagged words
• Exact Pro pricing isn’t published, you have to check in-app
• Channel-level analytics are lighter than group-level

08 Mentionlytics

Best for teams that want to scan public Telegram groups for relevant mentions.

Why I picked Mentionlytics?

1. It tracks public Telegram channels you manually add, along with 10+ other sources, including X, Reddit, TikTok, and news sites, so Telegram isn’t monitored in isolation.
2. It gives you control over monitored groups – you add them manually o your monitoring projects.

🔍 Monitored sources: Telegram public channels (manually added), plus X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Pinterest, news, blogs, forums, and review platforms.

✅ Pros

• Sentiment scoring across all sources, Telegram included
• Broad platform coverage beyond Telegram
• AI-generated summary reporting

❌ Cons

• Telegram monitoring is limited to manually added public channels, not automatic discovery

09 Statiko

Best for tracking channels you don’t own, without needing the owner’s login.

Why I picked Statiko?

1. It tracks any public channel without requiring ownership or admin access, which matters if you’re watching competitors or an industry conversation rather than your own account.
2. AI-generated recaps summarize channel activity automatically, so you’re not scrolling a full post history to catch up on what happened.

🔍 Monitored sources: Public Telegram channels, post timelines, and basic engagement metrics.

✅ Pros

• Free plan is a genuinely usable starting point
• No ownership or admin access required to track a channel
• AI recaps save time on catching up with active channels

❌ Cons

• Newer tool, several advanced features are still “coming soon”
• No API access yet on the Business plan

Conclusion

Telegram analytics tools have great features in 2026. They’re table stakes for anyone treating Telegram as a real channel instead of an afterthought.

Pick the one that matches what you’re actually trying to measure, not the one with the longest feature list.

1. If you’re a brand tracking reputation across Telegram and everywhere else your audience talks, go with Brand24.
