tg filtering monthly budget planning guide: split by task volume, detection type and pass rate

In overseas customer acquisition and Telegram community operations, tg filtering (i.e. Telegram number filtering) is a necessary step to obtain real active users. However, when many teams start TG screening tasks, they often top up based on their feelings and submit on demand. As a result, the budget exceeds the limit, the task is interrupted midway, or the effective numbers produced are far lower than expected. The core reason is the lack of budget planning based on task volume, detection type and pass rate.

This article will start from the cost structure, give a budget splitting method from thousands to millions, and provide executable operation guide combined with the functions of the KK-DATA platform (activation/active/gender detection, deduplication warehouse, global number generation, etc.) to help you plan a monthly TG filtering budget that neither breaks the chain nor wastes money.

Why does tg filtering require budget planning in advance?

Telegram number filtering is billed based on volume (KK-DATA adopts the billing model after recharging). Without budget planning, two types of problems are prone to occur:

• Insufficient recharge: The task is suspended halfway due to depletion of balance. After recharging, the task must be requeued or the task cannot be continued.
• Excessive recharge: A large amount of USDT was recharged at one time to avoid interruption, but the actual consumption was slow and the funds were idle.

More importantly, budget planning can help you evaluate Customer Acquisition Cost in advance: know how much it costs to acquire an effective TG active user, so you can make more rational traffic allocation decisions compared to other channels (such as advertising, KOL cooperation).

Three core factors affecting tg filtering budget

Task volume - how many numbers are screened at one time?

The number of single tg filtering tasks ranges from a few hundred to about 1 million. The amount of tasks directly determines the total number of inspections, which also determines the base of the total cost.

Task scale	Typical scenarios	Range of single items
Small scale	Verify dozens of seed users	100–1,000
Medium scale	Batch verification of a certain country number range	5,000–50,000
Large scale	Scan the entire regional number pool	50,000–1,000,000

The larger the task volume, the higher the single cost, but the risk can be spread by submitting in batches or enabling a deduplication warehouse.

Detection type - only checks activation or requires activity + gender?

The detection type of tg filtering directly affects the unit price (for detailed prices, see [KK-DATA console real-time price] (https://app.kkdata.cc/)). Usually:

• tg activation (registration detection): The lowest cost, only determines whether the number is registered with Telegram.
• tg active detection: You can specify a time window (such as 7 days, 30 days) to determine whether the user has been online recently. The cost is higher than opening the test.
• telegram gender data (including age/race, etc.): Adding gender, age and other fields based on active detection is the most expensive.

Budget planning needs to be based on the target user profile. For example, the B2B cross-border tool only requires three conditions: “open + male + about 30 years old”. It is recommended to choose a combination test instead of a full-scale account scan.

Pass rate - How does the final proportion of valid numbers affect actual expenditures?

The pass rate is the “invisible amplifier” of budget planning. Suppose you need 1,000 effective active TG users. If the pass rate of the original number pool is 40%, you only need to test 2,500; if the pass rate is only 10%, you need to test 10,000 - the cost is 4 times different.

The pass rate mainly depends on the number source:

• Randomly generated or old data: The pass rate is often lower than 10%.
• Generated based on target country number segment: The pass rate can reach 30%–60% (with the help of KK-DATA’s global number generation module).
• Cleaned customer or friend list: The pass rate may be higher than 70%.

Therefore, budget planning must incorporate the pass rate correction factor into the calculation formula.

How to estimate the cost of a single tg filtering task?

Basic formula:

Estimated cost = Number of numbers to be tested × Unit price × Pass rate correction factor

Among them, the pass rate correction coefficient = 1 / estimated pass rate (in decimal form). For example, if you want to obtain 1000 valid numbers and the expected pass rate is 25%, then the correction coefficient = 4, and the number of numbers to be detected should be 1000×4=4000.

KK-DATA will automatically display the estimated cost before creating a task to help you confirm whether the budget is sufficient before submitting.

Example: Select “tg activation + active (7 days) + gender detection”, and there are 4000 numbers to be detected. If the total unit price is 0.02 USDT/number (example, the actual number shall be subject to the console), then the estimated cost = 4000 × 0.02 = 80 USDT.

Monthly tg filtering budget planning practice: three typical scenarios

Scenario A: A small team accurately adds fans (screening within 5,000 items per month)

• Goal: Private message 50–100 active users per day.
• Detection type: tg activation + active window (7 days).
• Number source: Use KK-DATA’s global number generation module to generate 5,000 numbers based on the target country number segment, with a pass rate of about 40%.
• Monthly consumption: 5,000 items need to be detected, and the cost is about 80–120 USDT.
• Recommended budget: 100 USDT (including balance).

Scenario B: Medium-sized operation continues to acquire customers (screening 10,000-50,000 items per month)

• Goal: Continue to attract traffic to the community and add 1000-2000 new active users every month.
• Detection Type: Open + Active (30 days) + Gender (Male Oriented).
• Number source: From the old customer list and the number pool in the library (may contain some invalid numbers). Assume a pass rate of 20%.
• Monthly consumption: 10,000-25,000 items need to be tested (based on a pass rate of 20%), and the cost is about 200-500 USDT.
• Recommended Budget: 300–600 USDT.

Scenario C: Large-scale studio batch screening (monthly screening of 100,000-1 million items)

• Goal: Acquire customers for multiple projects at the same time, or do number cleaning in the entire region.
• Detection type: Flexible selection, some tasks only perform activation detection.
• Number Source: Multiple channels, pass rate fluctuates greatly (10%–40%).
• Monthly consumption: 100,000 tasks, based on the average price of 0.015 USDT/item, approximately 1,500 USDT.
• Important money-saving strategy: Enable KK-DATA’s data deduplication warehouse to automatically remove duplication across tasks, which can save 15%–30% of the budget in the long term.

Four tips for optimizing tg filtering budget with KK-DATA

1. Pay by item, no subscription: Pay as you use, no monthly minimum consumption. The budget is flexible and can be adjusted at any time.
2. Duplicate Warehouse: Import the same batch of numbers in different tasks, and the system will automatically intercept duplicate detections without any deductions.
3. Global number generation (free): Use the target country number segment to generate numbers to increase the pass rate and reduce effective costs. There is no charge for the generation itself.
4. Task Notification: Notify through Telegram robot after completion to avoid hanging up for a long time waiting for resources to be idle.

Common misunderstandings in tg filter budget planning

• Misunderstanding 1: Only the cost of activation testing is calculated, and the superimposed cost of activity/gender testing is ignored. The combined unit price for each test type should be clearly stated.
• Misunderstanding 2: Using non-target country number segments to generate numbers results in a very low pass rate (such as generating US numbers to detect Russian users). Before planning, use “Global Number Generation” to select the correct number segment.
• Misunderstanding 3: Without enabling the deduplication warehouse, importing the same number multiple times will result in repeated deductions. Especially for studios, deduplication across tasks is a necessity.

FAQ

**Q: Why is the “pass rate” factor more important than the task volume in tg filtering budget? **

Answer: The pass rate directly affects the number and cost of valid numbers finally obtained. For example, if you need to obtain 1,000 active numbers, if the pass rate is 10%, you need to test 10,000 numbers; if the pass rate is 40%, you only need 2,500 numbers, and the cost differs by 4 times. When planning the budget, the pass rate should be estimated based on the historical data of the number source.

**Q: Does KK-DATA’s tg filter support only detecting activation, not activity? How much does it cost? **

Answer: Supported. When creating a tg filtering task, you can select only “tg activation” for the detection type, and the cost is lower than the “activation + active” combination. For specific unit prices, please see the real-time price page of the console.

**Q: If the monthly budget is used up in half a month, can I top it up midway? **

Answer: Yes. KK-DATA uses USDT (TRC20) balance to recharge, and there is no minimum recharge and renewal limit (the minimum is about 50 USDT). Fees are deducted on a per-item basis and can be recharged when used up. There are no subscription cycle constraints.

**Q: After the tg filtering task is completed, how long will it take for the money to be deducted from the balance? **

Answer: The system will deduct the fee in real time after the task is automatically completed. If the balance is insufficient during the task, the system will suspend processing (no fees will be deducted) and the task will continue after recharging.

**Q: Is the cost of global number generation included in the tg filtering budget? **

Answer: Number generation is free, and only subsequent TG filtering (screening) will be deducted on a per-item basis. Therefore, the “generation” step does not affect the budget, but the quality of the generated numbers directly affects the pass rate and total cost of TG filtering.
