TelepostBot vs Controller Bot
For a channel run by a team, TelepostBot (@telepostbot) wins: several editors share one channel in a browser panel with a visual editor, drafts, a content plan and post statistics, and 644 thousand people use it monthly. Controller Bot (@ControllerBot) keeps the work in Telegram: you connect the channel with your own bot token, compose a post in the bot, add URL and emoji reaction buttons, preview, then publish now or schedule it, and it shows subscribers and views. The base workflow is free; more channels are a paid add-on. TelepostBot makes you leave the Telegram app to write. For a solo admin who wants scheduled posts with buttons without a browser, Controller Bot fits better.
