What it is
A web app plus a Telegram bot. The web part serves each channel's media kit, the order form, the order status page and the dashboard. The bot talks to channel owners: it verifies the channel, reads its statistics, delivers orders, and (on the Premium plan) publishes and removes the ads. A background worker keeps the schedule, samples views after 1, 6 and 24 hours, counts clicks and sends the report.
Who runs it
Adkanal is built and operated by Quzenix, an independent developer in Indonesia. The service is in English and Indonesian. Support is through the bot @AdkanalAppBot; every screen has a "report a problem" button and every report is read.
How it makes money
Only from channel owners, and only if they choose Premium: a monthly subscription for automation (the bot posts and removes ads, the "Advertise here" line can be hidden, unlimited channels). The free plan is complete for one channel and has no time limit. Advertisers never pay Adkanal anything.
What it deliberately does not do
- It does not hold or transfer advertiser money and takes no commission. Advertisers pay the channel owner directly.
- It does not negotiate. Rate cards are fixed prices set by the owner.
- It does not read private channels, groups, member lists or anyone's messages. Statistics come from public posts only.
- It does not invent numbers. Views are read from Telegram; clicks are counted on the platform's own redirect links, excluding bots and preview fetches.
Facts, briefly
- Supported channels: public, with a @username, where the person connecting is an admin.
- Formats: post 24h, post 48h, pinned 24h, permanent.
- Deadlines: the owner answers within 24 hours; the advertiser pays within 48 hours of approval; a post not published within 12 hours of its slot is flagged.
- Report: views at 1, 6 and 24 hours, unique clicks, CTR, cost per 1,000 views — about 24 hours after publishing, to both sides.
- Data kept: order records and statistics while the channel is connected; uploaded creatives are deleted 1 day(s) after the ad goes live or 5 days if it never runs. Details in the privacy page and terms.
