The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dreamdata company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution; Telegram end-to-end encryption applies only to Secret Chats; private and group Cloud Chats use server-client encryption, so Telegram holds the data
  • They diverge on capability: Dreamdata covers Multi-touch attribution, Telegram covers Cloud-based messaging.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dreamdata

  • Company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution
  • Advanced features like custom attribution models require expensive custom pricing tier
  • Steep implementation lift for complex multi-touch attribution setup
  • Free tier limited to 2 months of historical data

Telegram

  • End-to-end encryption applies only to Secret Chats; private and group Cloud Chats use server-client encryption, so Telegram holds the data
  • Secret Chats are device-specific and are not part of the Telegram cloud, so they can only be read on the device they started on
  • Logging out destroys all of your Secret Chats
  • The Secret Chat self-destruct timer applies only to messages sent after the timer is set and has no effect on earlier messages
  • Telegram states screenshot detection cannot be guaranteed on some Android and Windows Phone devices, so screenshots of Secret Chats can be taken silently
  • Messages cannot be forwarded out of Secret Chats
  • The self-destruct timer in cloud chats covers media only, not text
