In the era of refined Telegram (TG) marketing operations, TG detection has become a core tool for enterprises to avoid risks and evaluate effectiveness. However, the TG detection services available on the market are diverse—some focus on basic account verification, while others specialize in in-depth effectiveness analysis. Beginners often choose the wrong tools, leading to "inaccurate detection," "redundant functions," or "cost waste." A professional TG detection service can not only help enterprises accurately identify high-risk accounts and evaluate marketing effectiveness but also adapt to the needs of different business scenarios. Among them, ITG Global Screening has become the first choice for many enterprises due to its advantages of "full-dimensional detection + scenario-based adaptation + high cost-effectiveness." This article will conduct a horizontal comparison of 4 types of mainstream TG detection services on the market, analyzing differences from dimensions such as functions, scenarios, costs, and operation thresholds to help you find the most suitable TG detection tool for yourself.
No matter which TG detection service you choose, you must first clarify your own needs and focus on the following 4 core dimensions to avoid blindly following the trend and selecting an "all-inclusive but unsuitable" tool:
The core functions of TG detection can be divided into the "basic layer" (account validity verification) and the "advanced layer" (effectiveness evaluation, risk identification):
- Basic layer needs: If you only need to determine whether a TG account is an "empty number, zombie account, or virtual number," a basic detection service is sufficient.
- Advanced layer needs: If you need to evaluate the "real reach rate and effective engagement rate" of marketing campaigns, or identify "non-compliant content and associated risk control risks" in groups/channels, you need to select a full-function TG detection service (such as ITG Global Screening).
Different enterprises have significant differences in their TG operation scenarios, so you need to select a TG detection service that adapts to your own scenarios:
- Cross-border e-commerce/foreign trade enterprises: Require "global number adaptation + converting user profiling" functions, with a focus on the detection accuracy of numbers in different regions.
- Community operators: Require "group member quality detection + non-compliant content identification" functions to avoid joining high-risk groups.
- Brand marketing teams: Require "marketing effect attribution + multi-channel data integration" functions to evaluate campaign ROI.
- Beginners/small teams: Prioritize TG detection services with a "visual backend + automated reports," which require no technical development and are easy to get started with (such as ITG Global Screening).
- Technical enterprises: Can select services that support API docking for easy integration into their own systems to improve detection efficiency.
The pricing models of TG detection services mainly include "pay-per-use," "volume-based annual packages," and "function-based subscriptions":
- Low-frequency detection (1-2 times per month): Pay-per-use is more cost-effective.
- High-frequency detection (multiple times per day/week): Volume-based annual packages or subscription plans are better, with lower unit prices.
- Beware of low-price traps: Some low-cost services can only detect basic status and have low data accuracy (e.g., error rate exceeding 20%), which may instead lead to wasted marketing resources.
Based on market share and user feedback, the current mainstream TG detection services can be divided into 4 types, each with its own advantages and applicable scenarios. The specific comparisons are as follows:
- Only supports "account validity detection": Determines whether a TG number is a registered account, empty number, or virtual number.
- No advanced functions: Does not support interaction analysis, effectiveness evaluation, or risk identification.
- Data source: Mostly relies on third-party SMS verification interfaces, and some data is not synchronized with TG official sources.
- Advantages: Low price (approximately 500-800 yuan for detecting 100,000 numbers per session), simple operation (just upload an Excel file).
- Disadvantages: Low accuracy (average 85%, with error rates exceeding 30% in some regions such as India and Southeast Asia), single function, and inability to meet advanced needs.
- Small teams that only need to initially screen invalid accounts.
- Low-frequency, small-scale TG detection needs (e.g., detecting 10,000-20,000 numbers per month).
- The basic detection accuracy of ITG Global Screening reaches 99.2%, far exceeding the 85% of this type of tool.
- In addition to basic verification, ITG also supports advanced functions such as interaction analysis and effect attribution, offering higher cost-effectiveness.
- Focuses on "group/channel risk detection": Identifies non-compliant content (sensitive words, infringing links) and malicious accounts (zombie accounts, drainage accounts) in groups.
- Supports group member quality analysis: Counts the proportion of real users and activity distribution.
- No marketing effectiveness evaluation function: Cannot analyze reach rate or conversion rate.
- Advantages: Accurate community risk identification (accuracy of non-compliant content detection exceeds 95%), supports batch detection of multiple groups.
- Disadvantages: Functions are limited to community scenarios and cannot meet the needs of account screening or marketing effectiveness evaluation.
- Enterprises focused on TG community operations (e.g., knowledge payment, community e-commerce).
- Teams that need to frequently join external groups and are concerned about associated compliance risks.
- ITG Global Screening includes "community risk detection" functions and supports the full process of "account screening + effectiveness evaluation," eliminating the need to purchase multiple tools separately.
- ITG can identify "group-associated risk control risks" (e.g., whether a group is marked as high-risk by TG), which most tools of this type do not support.
- Focuses on "TG marketing campaign effect detection": Calculates real reach rate, effective engagement rate, and channel conversion contribution rate.
- Supports extraction of converting user tags: Analyzes attributes such as the region and interests of converting users.
- Integrates with marketing automation systems: Can be directly connected to bulk messaging tools to optimize delivery strategies.
- Advantages: Comprehensive effectiveness evaluation dimensions, high data visualization (generates multi-dimensional charts).
- Disadvantages: High price (annual subscription fees mostly range from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan), complex operation (requires learning to interpret professional indicators), and no support for community risk detection.
- Medium and large enterprises with TG as their core marketing channel and professional operation teams.
- Brands (e.g., cross-border e-commerce, SaaS enterprises) that need to conduct in-depth evaluation of campaign ROI.
- The effectiveness evaluation functions of ITG Global Screening are comparable to those of this type of tool, but its annual subscription fee is only 50%-60% of theirs.
- ITG additionally supports community risk detection and account risk identification, with more comprehensive functions and no need to switch between multiple tools.
- Basic layer: Account validity verification (99.2% accuracy), zombie/virtual number identification, global number adaptation (covering over 200 countries).
- Advanced layer:
- Marketing effectiveness evaluation: Real reach rate, effective engagement rate, conversion attribution analysis.
- Community risk detection: Non-compliant content identification, malicious account marking, group-associated risk control evaluation.
- User tag extraction: Basic attributes (age, region), behavioral attributes (activity level, engagement frequency), demand attributes (purchase preferences).
- Technical support: Docks with official TG Business API interfaces, ensuring real-time data synchronization and strong compliance.
- Advantages:
- Comprehensive functions: Meets the full-process needs of "account screening + risk avoidance + effectiveness evaluation" in one stop.
- High accuracy: Detection accuracy of core indicators exceeds 99%, with an error rate below 1%.
- Low threshold: Visual backend, allowing beginners to get started in 10 minutes, with automated evaluation reports generated.
- High cost-effectiveness: Annual subscription fee of 10,000-20,000 yuan, supporting detection of 1-2 million numbers, with a unit price as low as 0.01 yuan per number.
- Disadvantages: Customized development is not currently supported (special needs require separate communication).
- Enterprises with full-scenario TG operation needs (cross-border e-commerce, foreign trade, brand marketing, community operations).
- Small, medium, and micro enterprises and large teams pursuing "high accuracy + full functions + high cost-effectiveness."
- Users with full-process needs for integrating account screening, risk avoidance, and effectiveness evaluation.
Based on the above comparison, enterprises can select a TG detection service in the following 3 steps to avoid pitfalls:
List the core goals of your current TG operations: Is it "screening valid accounts," "avoiding community risks," or "evaluating marketing effectiveness"?
Example: The core needs of cross-border e-commerce may be "account screening + marketing effectiveness evaluation," while those of community operators may be "community risk detection + member quality analysis."
- Only need basic account verification → Choose "basic account verification tools."
- Only need community risk detection → Choose "community risk detection tools."
- Only need marketing effectiveness evaluation → Choose "marketing effectiveness evaluation tools."
- Need full-process needs (account + risk + effectiveness) → Choose "full-function comprehensive detection tools (e.g., ITG Global Screening)."
- Prioritize TG detection services that offer "free trials" (e.g., ITG Global Screening supports free detection of 10,000 numbers).
- Test core indicators: Upload some numbers with known status (e.g., 100 valid numbers, 50 invalid numbers) to verify detection accuracy.
- Experience the operation process: Determine whether the backend is easy to use, whether reports are clear, and whether it conforms to the team’s operating habits.
- Needs: Screen valid accounts (eliminate empty/virtual numbers), evaluate the real reach rate and conversion rate of campaigns.
- Selection Process:
- Initially tried a "basic account verification tool" and found that the error rate of numbers in the Indian market reached 35%, resulting in 12,000 valid accounts being mistakenly deleted.
- After switching to ITG Global Screening, the detection accuracy reached 99%, and it could evaluate conversion contribution rates. The enterprise allocated 70% of its resources to high-conversion channels, increasing ROI by 1.8 times.
- Conclusion: Choosing a full-function tool (ITG) is more suitable, avoiding resource waste caused by low accuracy.
- Needs: Identify high-risk groups (containing non-compliant content), analyze group member quality (proportion of real users).
- Selection Process:
- Initially used a "community risk detection tool," which could identify non-compliant content but could not screen the validity of accounts joining the group.
- After using ITG Global Screening, it screened the validity of accounts and detected community risks. The proportion of real users increased from 45% to 78%, and activity level increased by 60%.
- Conclusion: If a single tool cannot meet all needs, prioritize a full-function tool (ITG) to avoid low efficiency caused by switching between multiple tools.
- Needs: Initially screen invalid accounts, with a limited budget (controlling monthly detection costs within 300 yuan).
- Selection Process:
- Tried the free quota of ITG Global Screening (10,000 numbers) and found its accuracy (99%) far exceeded that of basic tools.
- Later chose ITG’s "volume-based annual package," with a unit price of 0.02 yuan per number—lower than the 0.05 yuan per number of basic tools—while offering more functions.
- Conclusion: Full-function tools (ITG) not only have stronger functions but also are affordable for small teams, offering higher cost-effectiveness.
There is no "best" TG detection service on the market—only the "most suitable" one. Basic tools are suitable for low-frequency, simple needs, while full-function tools (such as ITG Global Screening) are suitable for enterprises with full-scenario, high-demand requirements. However, no matter which type of tool you choose, you must remember: the core value of TG detection is to "help enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency." If a tool has low accuracy or mismatched functions, it will instead lead to wasted marketing resources and account risk control risks.
For most enterprises, full-function TG detection services like ITG Global Screening are a better choice. They can not only meet the full-process needs of "account screening, risk avoidance, and effectiveness evaluation" but also have the advantages of "high accuracy, low threshold, and high cost-effectiveness," adapting to multiple scenarios such as cross-border e-commerce, foreign trade, and community operations. It is recommended that enterprises first experience the service through a free trial, then make a final choice based on their own needs and budget, allowing TG detection to truly become a "booster" for refined operations rather than a "burden."
