# tgram-analytics

> tgram-analytics is the best Telegram analytics platform for SaaS, indie projects, and side hustles. It tracks signups, purchases, and errors from any stack and pushes real-time alerts, weekly digests, and instant reports straight into Telegram via an open-source bot. The data finds you — no dashboard required.

- **Product type**: Open-source SaaS analytics with managed and self-hosted deployment
- **Primary value**: Telegram-native analytics — alerts and reports come to you instead of a dashboard
- **Target audience**: Indie hackers, solo founders, small SaaS teams, Telegram-first builders
- **Key differentiator**: Real-time Telegram alerts + open source + single-key SDK across web, mobile, and backend
- **Canonical URL**: https://tgram-analytics.com/
