My overall impression
AdsGram (via the website adsgram.ai) presents itself as an advertising platform specifically designed for advertising in Telegram mini-apps, bots and channels. According to their site:
They claim to offer ad formats like rewarded videos, interstitials, tasks for Telegram mini-apps, and tools for advertisers and publishers.
For advertisers: launch campaigns, set targeting (platform, language, GEO, “TG Premium”), decide budget in USDT (a cryptocurrency).
For publishers (channels, bots, mini-apps): monetize by showing ads, earning via CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) depending on geography, user type, etc.
They also state that they were supported by the TON Foundation (which backs some Telegram-ecosystem projects).
In short: AdsGram is positioning itself as a niche ad-network for the Telegram ecosystem—rather than general web or mobile apps.
2. Key Features & Offerings
Here’s a breakdown of what AdsGram says it offers:
Advertiser side
Targeting: language, platform, geography, presence of TG Premium users (i.e., Telegram users with Premium subscription)
Ad formats: vertical video (up to 15 s, 9:16 aspect ratio), rewarded video, other future formats like inline banners.
Payment in cryptocurrency (USDT) for campaigns.
Publisher side
Integrate AdsGram SDK or code into your Telegram mini‐app, channel or bot.
Ads types for publishers: reward (user gets something for watching), interstitial, task (e.g., subscribe to a channel) formats.
Earnings based on CPM, depending on user geo and other parameters.
General/Operational
Claim of “guaranteed safety” via fraud-prevention mechanisms.
A dashboard for managing campaigns, and a partner/monetization portal.
3. Advantages & What Makes It Interesting
Niche focus: Many ad-networks focus on mobile apps or web; AdsGram focuses specifically on Telegram mini-apps and bots — a less saturated channel (potentially less competition).
Targeted formats: Rewarded videos, tasks, interstitials tailored for mini-apps may yield higher engagement vs generic banner ads.
Cryptocurrency payment option: For global publishers/advertisers, payment in USDT might simplify cross-border transactions.
Integration with Telegram ecosystem: If you have a Telegram-based app, bot or channel, this might be a good fit.
4. Suitable Use-Cases & Who Might Benefit
You might consider using AdsGram if:
You own or run a Telegram mini-app, bot or large channel and want to monetize via ad-network.
You’re an advertiser targeting Telegram users (especially mini-app users) and want to reach an engaged niche.
You are comfortable working with cryptocurrency payments and are willing to accept some risk given the newer nature of the platform.
Conversely, you might be more cautious or avoid it if:
You expect long-established history, large public track record and full transparency.
You work with strict regulation and cannot tolerate any platform with ambiguous payout or support experiences.
You require traditional fiat payouts, or need large-scale traditional ad-network reach beyond Telegram.
6. Final Thoughts & Recommendation
AdsGram presents an interesting niche proposition — focusing on Telegram mini-apps/bots rather than the more crowded mobile/web ad channels. For those already operating in or targeting the Telegram ecosystem, this could be a useful addition to your ad-monetization or ad-buying toolkit.
However, given its relatively recent founding, some user complaints about support, and mixed trust-scores, you should proceed with caution. My recommendation: if you decide to test it, do so with small budgets/commitments initially, monitor traffic quality and payout reliability before scaling.
