Signal runs as a non profit foundation. You need paying members to cover costs, but not many (see WhatsApp before Facebook) or an endowment.

Yeah, but signal seems much smaller than telegram, and I think it doesn't keep data on the server after it is delivered ?

I believe that’s accurate today, but not a huge delta if they choose to support a rich experience like Telegram does in the future.

Signal also limits file size and type. You can't even share a video much larger than 100mb.
