Questions and answers

Briefly, how it all works.

About the catalogue

Where do the channels come from?
We find them ourselves: the scanner walks Telegram and records public metrics. No owner consent is needed to be listed — as with any directory of public pages.
Where do the numbers come from?
They are our measurements from the channel recent posts, not the owner word. We keep daily snapshots, so both the current value and the movement are visible.
How do I remove a channel?
Confirm you own it and write to us — we will remove it. Confirmation exists so that no stranger can delete your channel.

For owners

What does claiming a channel give me?
Control of the channel page, analytics with history and retrospective, niche scouting and access to the cross-promo exchange.
How do I prove the channel is mine?
Through our bot: it checks that you are an administrator of the channel. We never need passwords or access.
What can the content engine do?
Rewrite posts from donor channels, draft posts from your talking points and suggest a topic plan for your niche. The final text is always edited and published by you.

Exchange and growth

How does a swap work?
You find a channel of comparable reach, agree on a swap, and both posts are published through us at the agreed time.
What is the guarantor?
Publication and verification by us: the post goes out through us and is checked at random moments while the agreed time runs. A post taken down early is visible, and the swap does not count.
What does the exchange cost?
Every tenth swap is our commission. In the newcomers basket (channels under 500 subscribers) there is no commission at all.

Money

How is volume counted?
In characters. A Telegram post is cut at 4096 characters, so a post is not a unit; plans show both characters and the conversion into posts.
What is overage?
Payment for characters beyond your package at your plan rate. The starter promo has no overage: once spent, you pick a subscription.
What can I pay with?
Cryptocurrency (USDT) and Telegram Stars. Cards will come later.
Do you refund?
Crypto payments are technically irreversible, so there are no refunds — the $4.99 starter pack exists for getting acquainted.

For advertisers

How do I pick a channel?
Look at post reach and momentum rather than subscriber count: subscribers are the easiest thing to inflate.
How do I place an ad?
From the channel page: the “Place an ad here” button, a date from the owner’s schedule, their price and the text of the post. We hold the money until the post is out.

Privacy

What do you store?
Public channel data: description, metrics, post excerpts. We do not collect readers personal data.
Where do post quotes come from?
From the channel public posts — the same ones anyone sees when opening the channel in Telegram.
