Is it worth it? - My thoughts

When you compare this review to my one of Snapchat+ you can see that Telegram Premium seems like the better subscription for many reasons. It can be cheaper, it has a TON more features. As a result, I would have to say that this subscription is much better, especially considering it is better for things like media sharing, for example, Snapchat limits users to sending up to one minute of video which is very annoying and I always find myself cropping videos if I send them on there. On the other hand, some would argue that Snapchat is quite a bit different to Telegram in some aspects which is fair enough. This subscription service is more suited to someone who wants to make their money go further in terms of features, which is why I would say it is a good investment. As someone who uses Telegram a fair bit I do find myself benefitting from some of these features.

Conclusion

Ultimately, like anything you spend money on it depends on how often you use the service. Not only that, other things like ads and storage needs are major factors. In conclusion, if you want a value for money subscription then it may be worthwhile for you.

Whether Telegram Premium is worth it for you depends on how much you value the features mentioned and how you use the platform. If these features align with your needs and preferences and you find value in them, then subscribing to Telegram Premium may be worthwhile. Consider how frequently you use Telegram and how much these premium features would enhance your experience. Additionally, compare the cost of the premium subscription to the benefits you would receive to make an informed decision.
