I've been using Signal and Teleguard, but not Threema because it's a paid app. Which one is the most secure?

It's mainly about Teleguard apparently being completely closed source and using an unknown proprietary encryption protocol.
Personally I would omit it based on this and use it only for non-sensitive stuff if completely omitting were not possible.

    Yes, Teleguard is not particularly reliable, even though it is owned by Swisscows, a company that has its own search engine and secure alternatives to Google. Furthermore, Teleguard is not that old; it was launched in 2021.
