I'm surprised people pay for it myself. Don't see the value over the free version...
They had 550 million users in 2022, 700 million in 2023....
And 5 million subscribers is less than a percent of users, but I guess they see the value of premium.
I've been subscribed to premium for some time now. The things it would be difficult to give up are:
These features might seem some niche features you use once in a while, but I actually use them very very often
Premium is 2 €/month in my country, and considering how much I use Telegram (all my contacts and circles use it) and the features I mentioned above, I think it's worth it
Here it's double that, 4 euros per month. I would pay 2 euros too because then it's a reasonable cost just for the emois.
I wonder why there's such a price difference. You're using Euros, so it's not due to local currency valuations. It's only $30 per year in the USA, or $2.50 per month. Your cost is almost double!
I have to mention that I've downloaded the app from the website - premium costs more if you download the app from the store. In Italy, the pricing is 3.66 €/month if you pay monthly, or 2.24 €/month if you pay annually
My wife paid the sub because she wanted the animated reactions. She was disappointed with how small they are after she paid, but whatever. It's only $30 per year.
