Why Telegram will remain free

For almost 7 years, on the official website to show the advantages of Telegram and reason to switch to messenger in the form of 18 static monochrome images. Today design changed, and pictures were replaced by 9 animated stickers.

Over the years, other messengers, too, were not in place, and tightened in functionality, so the site is missing some of the benefits of Telegram: Cloud based, Distributed, Free, and some others.

This does not mean that Telegram will be paid, this means that the market of instant messengers this does not surprise anyone.

"In 2013, it was a competitive advantage over someone paid. Now who's not free?" confirmed Michael Ravdonikas at the request of the publisher.
