Compare five services by ad format, pricing model and control. Pick channel posts, Sponsored Messages or Mini App ads based on your campaign goal.
For advertisers who want a sponsored post in a particular Telegram channel, PAYchat brings channel comparison, campaign preparation and the PAYchat payment handoff together. These are practical workflow advantages—not a claim that every competitor lacks them.

What we checked: Publicly documented formats, payment models and controls—not a controlled hands-on test of campaign results.
Suppose a channel placement costs $18 and its recent posts average 6,000 views. The illustrative effective CPM is $18 ÷ 6,000 × 1,000 = $3 per 1,000 estimated views.
Historical average views are not a guarantee. Use this as a comparison estimate, not a forecast.
Posting terms, creative approval and actual audience views can differ from prior averages. Confirm retention duration and when the owner receives payment.
The amount spent depends on bid, competition and delivery. Make sure your destination is allowed and keep conversion tracking separate from platform action counts.

Explore education channelsThe best format depends on the campaign. If you want to choose individual channel-owner sponsored posts, PAYchat Ads is a practical starting point because you can compare audience metrics and listed rates, distinguish verified-owner listings from external opportunities and prepare multiple placements before PAYchat checkout. Official Telegram Ads is a different format for Sponsored Messages, while Mini App networks serve in-app placements.
Official Telegram Ads serves Sponsored Messages through its own ad platform. Telega.io and PAYchat Ads are marketplaces where advertisers choose channel-post placements with owner-specific terms. They are different products, not interchangeable ad inventory.
Some channels offer lower-cost placements, but there is no universal minimum across marketplaces. Compare current channel listings and final checkout terms. Official Telegram Ads uses a CPM auction, and costs depend on targeting and competition.
No. Verified means the channel owner or admin manages the listing on PAYchat. Publishing remains subject to approval, availability and final terms. External opportunities require additional confirmation.
No. Networks can deliver inventory through app or bot integrations, while marketplaces help buyers select individual channel placements. Compare the actual placement and reporting method before purchasing.
Start with current channel offers, compare views and owner-listing status, preview a campaign and continue to PAYchat for payment. No platform guarantees ad performance.
