The short version

  • Each has a real cost: June the pricing page lists a single all-in-one plan with no price, no minimum and no named cost driver; 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: June covers B2B analytics, 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.

June

  • The pricing page lists a single all-in-one plan with no price, no minimum and no named cost driver
  • There is no startup plan; the vendor states June is a fit for companies with at least $1M of ARR
  • Setup fees are charged separately and the vendor states they vary based on implementation complexity
  • The vendor states June is a poor fit for products with a large user base but low revenue per user

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
