Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov on Jan 9 posted that telegram have reached 5 million premium subs. Personally I think giveaways played a big role in this and I believe this would help telegram cover its costs even more. Which is good for us users
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!
