How we chose
We connected each bot as admin to a test channel with 30 days of posting history and mixed content types (text, photo, video, poll). We compared the metrics shown against the channel's native Telegram statistics, checked whether the bot flags likely fake or inactive subscribers, timed how long a full report takes to generate, and noted what's locked behind a paywall.
Channel analytics
How to choose a channel analytics bot
Telegram itself shows basic stats (views, growth, ER) for channels over 500 subscribers directly in the app, so the first question is what a bot adds on top: historical export beyond Telegram's built-in window, per-post breakdowns you can sort and compare, or subscriber-quality checks that flag suspicious spikes. If your channel is under 500 subscribers, a bot may be your only source of view/ER data at all.
What to check before trusting a bot
Analytics bots need to be added as a channel admin with 'see statistics' access, which is a low-risk permission compared to posting or deleting rights — still, check that the bot doesn't request more than it needs. Verify the numbers against what you can already see in Telegram's own statistics panel; a bot whose view counts drift far from Telegram's own data isn't measuring the same thing and its ad-pricing advice will be off too.
Free vs paid
Free tiers typically show core metrics for one channel with a short history window (often 7-30 days). Paid plans add competitor comparison, longer historical data, scheduled PDF/CSV reports, and audience-quality scoring used to price ad placements. If you're just checking how a channel is trending, free is enough; if you sell ads or manage several channels, the paid export and comparison tools pay for themselves quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free bot to check my Telegram channel stats?
Yes, free tiers cover core metrics like views, growth, and engagement rate for at least one channel, though the history window is usually limited to a few weeks.
Does the bot need admin rights on my channel?
Yes, but only the 'see statistics' permission is required — it doesn't need rights to post, delete, or ban, so it's one of the lower-risk admin roles you can grant.
Can these bots detect fake or bought subscribers?
Some do, by flagging sharp subscriber spikes with no matching view increase, but this is a heuristic, not a guarantee — treat it as a warning sign to investigate, not final proof.
