Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 电报 at 5.0 against POP's 3.3. 电报 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). POP's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (8 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
