Telegram לעומת WhatsApp

מנוי

Telegram: מציע מנוי. WhatsApp: ללא מנוי. מנוי זול יותר לדקה אחרי שעוברים את נקודת האיזון שלו, ויקר יותר בכל חודש שבו לא עוברים אותה, ולכן הבחירה בו היא הימור על ההתנהגות העתידית שלכם. אשראי בתשלום מראש הוא עסקה הפוכה: מחיר גרוע יותר ליחידה בתמורה לכך שאין התחייבות.

פלטפורמות

Telegram פועלת על iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, Linux. WhatsApp פועלת על iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS. הדבר הזה מכריע יותר השוואות מכפי שהיה ראוי: שירות מצוין שאינו זמין במכשיר שבידכם אינו מועמד כלל, ולקוח למחשב שולחני חשוב יותר מכפי שנדמה כשהחלופה היא להחזיק טלפון צמוד לאוזן במשך שעה.
