Ranked on numbers. Published numbers.
TelegramRankings is an independent index of 32,535 active Telegram channels. Every ranking is a weighted sum of five public inputs, cohort-normalised so a 90 in crypto means the same as a 90 in news.
The five components.
One score, five inputs. The same model runs on every category. Only the cohort it's normalised against changes.

MTProto + Bot API.
Subscriber counts, post frequency, average views, reaction velocity, and verification status are pulled directly from Telegram every ~20 minutes via MTProto. Categories and bio data come from the Bot API. Snapshots land in channel_history so growth trends are a record, not an estimate.
Every ~20 minutes.
The MTProto enrichment job runs continuously, with a typical channel getting a fresh snapshot every 20 minutes. Rank deltas and category statistics refresh on the same cadence.

14 live cohorts.
Channels are sorted into one of 23 categories using an LLM classifier over the channel bio, recent posts, and name. Strict category filtering means a crypto channel never leaks into a tech ranking.

Channel suggestions are reviewed by the editorial desk and added to the sync queue once approved. Editorial discretion only affects whether a channel is indexed. It never affects the score.
Submit a channel →Paid placements are labelled. They never move a rank.
TelegramRankings is funded by sponsored placements and by commissions from partner channels. Every paid slot is marked AD, PREMIUM or FEATURED where it appears, and sits outside the ranked index. Payment never changes a composite score, a rank position, or whether a channel is indexed. Rankings are computed from the five public inputs above and recomputed on every sync.
We do not accept payment for editorial reviews, and we do not take money from a channel to remove a caution flag. Crypto, forex and betting channels carry an additional risk notice: nothing on this site is financial advice, and no channel here has an audited track record.
