How the audit works
- Reach: the median views of ordinary posts divided by the subscriber count. Very low reach usually means inactive or added subscribers.
- Views above subscribers: on ordinary posts this is a common sign of bought views; forwarded or viral posts are the exception.
- Even views: real audiences are uneven. Nearly identical view counts on every post are a typical pattern of purchased views.
- Interaction: reactions and comments relative to views, and whether they read like real people.
- Growth and activity: sudden subscriber jumps and long breaks in posting change how the numbers should be read.
Typical ratios differ by niche, language and posting frequency, so treat the result as signals to check, not as proof. The method follows our guide on how to check if a channel's subscribers are real.
What to do with the result
- Ask the seller or channel owner for a live screen recording of the channel statistics, with the date visible.
- Compare with two or three similar channels in the same niche and language.
- Turn the numbers into one engagement figure with the engagement rate calculator, or estimate a fair price with the channel value calculator.
- Buying the channel? Follow the handover checklist step by step.

Frequently asked questions
How can I check if a Telegram channel has fake subscribers?
Compare the views of ordinary recent posts with the subscriber count, look for nearly identical view numbers, views above the subscriber count, sudden growth jumps and generic comments. This tool checks those signals for you.
What is a normal view-to-subscriber ratio on Telegram?
It varies by niche, language and posting frequency. As a rough guide, typical posts reaching only a few percent of subscribers is a warning sign; compare with similar channels before deciding.
Can bought views be detected?
Often, yes. Views that are almost the same on every post, or higher than the subscriber count on ordinary posts, are common signs.
Is a channel with low views always fake?
No. A channel that stopped posting for months can have low views with real subscribers who simply went quiet.
Is my data saved?
No. The audit runs in your browser and nothing is sent to our website.
