Telegram is substantially more feature rich. However Signal is open source. However that only really matters on the front - end. Nobody can inspect the code on a server unless you have access.

You'll ultimately have a make a descision based on who you trust more.



Telegram is opensource the same way Signal is - clients are opensource and server is not (Signal didn't have a source dump for awhile now).

But Telegram has one big advantage - they publish a public tdlib library with which you can easily build your own Telegram client.

Not a telegram fan at all but their clients are also open source
