Buying Telegram members is easy to judge the wrong way.

A higher member count matters, but it does not always mean the channel is more active. A channel can have 1,000 members and still get very few views on new posts.

For this audit, I tested 8 Telegram member providers by ordering 1,000 members from each one and checking the results again after 60 days. I looked at delivery, retention and whether posts received visible opens after the members arrived.

I used estimated open rate instead of “real open rate” because Telegram post views are useful, but not perfect. The goal was simple: find out which providers made a channel look more active, not just bigger.

How the Telegram Member Audit Worked

I tested 8 providers: Bulkoid, FastPromo, UseViral, Media Mister, SocialPlug, GetAFollower, Views4You and SocialWick.

I ordered 1,000 Telegram members from each one and used separate Telegram channels for every provider. This kept the results clean because the member count, retention and post views from one order could not mix with another.

I also avoided outside promotion, ads, cross-posting and forwarded test posts. The goal was not to measure organic growth, but to see what happened after buying members from each provider.

After delivery, I tracked how many members arrived, how many stayed after 60 days and how many views the channel posts received.

I used this audit-style approach because social growth tests are more useful when they track what happens after the order, not just whether the number goes up.

A similar Instagram follower case study followed that same idea by looking at what happened after buying followers, which is why I wanted this Telegram test to focus on retention and post visibility instead of delivery alone.

The Metrics That Actually Mattered

I used five main metrics to compare the providers:

Delivery accuracy: If I ordered 1,000 members and received 1,000, the provider delivered the full order. If I received 996, the delivery accuracy was slightly lower.

60-day retention: This showed how many members stayed after the order had time to settle. A provider can look good on day one, but if the count drops later, the result becomes weaker.

Average post views: This was the most important metric for this test because Telegram members are not very useful if new posts still get ignored.

Estimated open rate: I calculated this by comparing average post views with the current member count. It was not a perfect open-rate metric, but it helped show which channels had stronger visible activity after delivery.

Cost per active viewer: This compared the price paid with the average number of post views. It was more useful than cost per member because a cheap order does not mean much if very few members appear to open posts.

Full Results From All 8 Telegram Member Providers

1. Bulkoid

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $8.99
Delivered: 1,000
After 60 days: 999
Average post views: 212
Estimated open rate: 21.2%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.04

Bulkoid had the strongest overall result in the audit. The full 1,000 members were delivered, and after 60 days, 999 were still on the channel.

That gave Bulkoid one of the cleanest retention results in the test. Losing only 1 member after 60 days did not affect the channel in any meaningful way.

The bigger reason Bulkoid ranked first was the post-view performance. The channel averaged 212 views on posts after delivery, which gave it the highest estimated open rate in the audit.

The value was also strong. At $8.99, Bulkoid had the lowest cost per active viewer, at about $0.04. It did well across every category that mattered: delivery, retention, post visibility and price.

Bulkoid was the only provider that combined the lowest price with the strongest activity data, which is why it took first place.

2. FastPromo

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $13.99
Delivered: 1,000
After 60 days: 999
Average post views: 196
Estimated open rate: 19.6%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.07

FastPromo came very close to Bulkoid. The full 1,000 members arrived, and 999 were still there after 60 days.

From a delivery and retention perspective, FastPromo was almost identical to Bulkoid. The order arrived in full, and the channel stayed stable during the tracking period.

The difference came from post views and price. FastPromo averaged 196 views on posts after delivery, which gave it the second-best estimated open rate in the test.

The cost per active viewer came out at about $0.07. That was still good, but not as strong as Bulkoid’s value score.

FastPromo ranked second because it delivered properly, retained members well and produced strong post activity. It only missed first place because Bulkoid had slightly better views at a lower price.

3. UseViral

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $9.99
Delivered: 1,000
After 60 days: 996
Average post views: 174
Estimated open rate: about 17.5%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.06

UseViral had one of the better value results in the audit. The full 1,000 members arrived, and after 60 days, 996 were still visible on the channel.

The retention was strong, with only 4 members lost during the tracking period. That made UseViral one of the more stable options in the test.

The channel averaged 174 post views after delivery, which gave it an estimated open rate of about 17.5%. It did not match Bulkoid or FastPromo, but it performed better than most providers below it.

UseViral also had a good price. At $9.99, the cost per active viewer came out at about $0.06.

UseViral ranked third because it had full delivery, strong retention, solid post views and a competitive price.

4. Media Mister

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $23
Delivered: 1,000
After 60 days: 997
Average post views: 166
Estimated open rate: about 16.6%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.14

Media Mister had a reliable result, but the higher price affected its final ranking. The full order arrived, and 997 members were still on the channel after 60 days.

The delivery and retention numbers were both good. Media Mister lost only 3 members during the tracking period, which made the result look stable.

The channel averaged 166 post views after delivery. That gave it an estimated open rate of about 16.6%, which showed that the order did more than increase the channel count.

The main issue was the price. At $23, Media Mister was the most expensive provider in this audit. Since the post-view average was lower than Bulkoid, FastPromo and UseViral, the cost per active viewer came out much higher.

Media Mister ranked fourth because the result was reliable, but not the best value.

5. SocialPlug

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $18
Delivered: 998
After 60 days: 998
Average post views: 152
Estimated open rate: about 15.2%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.12

SocialPlug had an interesting result. It did not deliver the full 1,000 members, but it retained every member it did deliver.

The provider delivered 998 members, and all 998 were still there after 60 days. From a stability point of view, that was a positive sign.

The post-view result was more moderate. The channel averaged 152 views on posts after delivery, giving it an estimated open rate of about 15.2%.

That was not a poor result, but it did not match the top providers. The price also made the value score less competitive. At $18, the cost per active viewer came out at about $0.12.

SocialPlug ranked fifth because it looked stable after delivery, but the order came in slightly short and the post views were not strong enough to move it higher.

6. GetAFollower

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $18
Delivered: 996
After 60 days: 996
Average post views: 139
Estimated open rate: about 14%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.13

GetAFollower was stable, but the post-view performance was weaker than the providers above it.

The provider delivered 996 members, and all 996 remained after 60 days. There was no further drop during the tracking period.

The weaker part was post visibility. The channel averaged 139 views after delivery, which gave it an estimated open rate of about 14%.

That was still usable, but it was clearly behind the top half of the list. The price also worked against it. At $18, the cost per active viewer was about $0.13.

GetAFollower ranked sixth because it retained the members it delivered, but it did not generate enough visible post activity to rank higher.

7. Views4You

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $11.99
Delivered: 994
After 60 days: 990
Average post views: 118
Estimated open rate: about 11.9%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.10

Views4You was not the weakest provider in the audit, but it was less competitive than most of the options above it.

The provider delivered 994 members, and after 60 days, 990 were still on the channel. That meant Views4You had the lowest delivery count in the audit, along with a small drop after delivery.

The post-view performance was also on the lower side. The channel averaged 118 views after delivery, giving it an estimated open rate of about 11.9%.

The price was reasonable, but the lower activity made the final value less impressive. The cost per active viewer came out at about $0.10.

Views4You ranked seventh because it increased the channel count, but it did not perform as well on delivery, retention or post visibility.

8. SocialWick

Order: 1,000 Telegram members
Price: $16
Delivered: 996
After 60 days: 985
Average post views: 91
Estimated open rate: about 9.2%
Cost per active viewer: about $0.18

SocialWick finished last in the audit.

The provider delivered 996 members, but after 60 days, only 985 were still on the channel. That was the biggest visible drop in the test.

The post-view behaviour was also the weakest. The channel averaged 91 views after delivery, which gave it an estimated open rate of about 9.2%. It was the only provider in the audit with an estimated open rate below 10%.

The value score was weak too. At $16, SocialWick was not the most expensive provider, but the low average views pushed the cost per active viewer to about $0.18. That was the highest in the test.

SocialWick ranked last because it had the weakest mix of retention, post views and value. It did increase the member count, but the channel did not feel as active after delivery as the stronger providers did.

Which Sites Delivered Members That Actually Opened Posts?

The strongest results came from Bulkoid, FastPromo and UseViral.

Bulkoid had the highest average post views, with 212 views per post after delivery. It also had the best estimated open rate at 21.2%. That made it the clearest winner because it improved both the member count and the visible activity on new posts.

FastPromo was close behind with 196 average views and a 19.6% estimated open rate. It was a strong result, but the higher price kept it in second place.

UseViral came third with 174 average views and a 17.5% estimated open rate. It was not the top performer, but it offered a good mix of price, retention and activity.

The lower-ranked providers still increased the channel count, but the difference showed up in post visibility. SocialWick, Views4You and GetAFollower did not create the same level of visible activity after delivery.

That was the most useful part of the test. If I had only looked at member count, many providers would have seemed similar. Once post views were included, the ranking became much clearer.

What I Learned From the Test

The main lesson is that Telegram member count does not prove much by itself. Most providers in this audit delivered close to 1,000 members, so the results looked similar at first. The real difference appeared when I compared retention with post views.

Some providers kept their members well but still produced weaker post activity. That showed why retention and views need to be judged together. A channel can keep its members and still look quiet if new posts do not get many visible opens.

The biggest red flag was a high member count with low post views. If a channel gains 1,000 members but new posts still receive very few views, the growth looks mostly cosmetic. Low estimated open rates also stood out, especially when they were close to or below 10%.

Price mattered too. Media Mister was the most expensive provider in the test, but it did not beat cheaper options like Bulkoid or UseViral. A provider does not need to be the cheapest to rank well, but a higher price should come with stronger post visibility.

That is why cost per active viewer became one of the most useful metrics. It showed which providers created value based on visible post activity, not just the number of members delivered.

Is Buying Telegram Members Worth It?

Buying Telegram members can be worth it if your goal is to make a new channel look more established.

A channel with more members can look less empty, which may help with first impressions. But if the goal is activity, the member count alone is not enough.

The better question is what happens after the order. Do members stay? Do new posts get more views? Does the channel look more active after 60 days?

Based on this test, buying Telegram members is only useful when the provider delivers both retention and visible post activity. Bulkoid, FastPromo and UseViral were the strongest examples of that.

The weaker providers still increased the channel count, but the lower post views made the results less valuable.

Final Takeaway

This audit showed that buying Telegram members should not be judged by member count alone.

Most providers increased the channel size, but the real difference appeared in the post-view data. Some channels only looked bigger, while others felt more active because new posts received stronger visible opens.

Bulkoid had the strongest overall result because it combined full delivery, 999 members retained after 60 days, the highest average post views and the lowest cost per active viewer. FastPromo and UseViral also performed well when retention and post visibility were judged together.

The main lesson is simple: a bigger Telegram channel is not always a more active one. The better question is whether the members stay and whether your posts actually get seen.
