Contact other users via existing phone contacts or by creating and searching public usernames, reaching out to new individual contacts or groups via SMS invites or by sharing a t.me/username link that can be used to conduct chats without a exchanging phone numbers.Telegram supports voice calls and also the sending of messages, photos, videos and files of any format, while messages and conversations synchronize automatically across any number of installed Telegram apps across phones, tablets or computers. Telegram Widgets are embeddable widgets for website integration including "Post Widget" for embedding messages from public groups and channel, plus "Login Widget" for authorizing users via a Telegram bot linked to the domain. Two APIs are freely available for developers including a Bot API for building programs that use Telegram messages for an interface, along with the Telegram API and Telegram Database Library (TDLib) that support the creation of custom clients. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.7/5** | 6403 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Telegram Messenger ## Commercial Context - **Pricing model**: (Free version available) - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Linux (Desktop), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: Arabic, Dutch, English, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish - **Available Countries**: United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom ## Features - API - Alerts/Notifications - Audio Calls - Batch Communications - Chat/Messaging - Collaboration Tools - Conferencing - Contact Management - Discussions/Forums - Document Storage - Drag & Drop - File Sharing - Group Messaging - Interaction Tracking - Multi-Channel Communication - Multi-Language - On-Demand Communications - Personalisation - Project Management - Real-Time Chat ## Integrations (2 total) - Instagram - WhatsApp ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Chat ## Category - [Customer Communications Management Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1139/customer-communications-management/software) ## Related Categories - [Customer Communications Management Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1139/customer-communications-management/software) - [Team Communication Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1257/team-communication/software) - [Instant Messaging Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/320/instant-messaging-chat/software) ## Alternatives 1.

Lots of pricary options even though they are kinda behind premium accounts. > > **Cons**: Some weird desicions e.g. support of multiple platforms (linux can be makde fokm but I dunno how safe it is.) It feels also kinda risk to store al the data on the servers. Would be nice yo have more control over content visibility and maybe even p2p option forsharinh some files that are not looked good for normally. Bots should also have somekinda indikacator so you woud instanly know if it is a bot or not. Also would be nice to have verified accounts without 3rd party tricks. (not mandatory ofc.) But somwthing is could be good. More lang options. Its been going better, but you still dont talk e.g. Finnish with other people. Maybe lots of things more, but I need to go to sleep. SIncerely yours, Joonas. One thing still: Bring the finnish language to it and make the dating sites legit instead of farming cash from stupid people. I love TG\! > > One of my fav app nowadays. (I used to irc.) but now its kinda semianonymous service, that gathers similar minded people together and provides some not-so-vanilla-content as well for thouse you like it. Oneof the best anynomous places to meet new people. ----- ### "Telegram is OK for casual use but use other alternatives" — 3.0/5 > **Absana** | *3 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: With telegram you can send large files(2GB), create MASSIVE groups/channels, and utilize custom bots for automation. Overall, the app is fast even with slower internet connections and supports multiplatform access, from phones to desktops. Furthermore, you also have a good amount of freedom to customize the app's appearance, including themes and backgrounds. > > **Cons**: Telegram as security concerns charts are not end-to-end encrypted while they can be turned on in one-to-one chats. Furthermore, the platform is also a hotbed for scammers, fake accounts and misinformation since there is no hands on moderation like other apps. Customer support is also practically non-existent and takes long times. The apps interface is not accessible to some users, and some features are only accessible for Telegram Premium (which was added in 2022). > > Overall, Telegram is a powerful communication platform. It has the ability to bring large amounts of people together and has some great features. However, the lack of moderation and customer support can cause a lot of issues. I recommend other apps that have better support and security then Telegram, still if telegram is the best option, use with caution. ----- ### "My TG Expertise" — 5.0/5 > **Boaz** | *11 July 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Telegram is one of the influential instant messaging and file sharing programs. With Telegram, I am able to join “Chef” channels for free where I gain ideas from other cultures. My Hotel has more than two channels on TG where employees mingles and share documents seamlessly from anywhere > > **Cons**: I do not have any issue with Telegram. I give it more kudos since it does not allow me to join channels that has explicit contents on my iPhone, hope they do that to Android devices too. ----- ### "Great messenger for business purposes" — 5.0/5 > **Purachet** | *8 November 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Small fast messengers that supports every platform, has groups \& bots and encrypted messaging. Basically everything you want from a business messenger > > **Cons**: Export chats option is hidden on the main applications and available only in Telegram web version, maybe temporarily? ----- Page: 1 / 257\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/114023/telegram?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/114023/telegram) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
