Custom Telegram bot development for business
For a business whose customers already message it on Telegram. A bot takes requests, shows a catalog, answers common questions, sends broadcasts, and sells a subscription. I build it for your scenario, not from a bot builder template.
- Requests, menu, questions from $200 2–4 days
- Booking or a catalog, admin panel from $400 5–10 days
- Subscription, payment, AI from $900 7–12 days
What it gives you
A customer gets an answer, the catalog, or a subscription where they already chat, without going to a website and without waiting for a person to be free. You manage the bot from Telegram itself: no database and no console needed.
What is included
Which of these you need depends on the bot: the options are in the price table below.
- A scenario for your task: requests, a menu, answers to common questions, booking or a catalog, broadcasts.
- Subscription and payment in Telegram Stars: one button, with no bank details and no screenshots of transfers; the subscription renews by itself.
- An admin panel right in Telegram: find a person, grant a subscription, block someone, view a summary, refund a payment.
- Errors in plain words: the bot responds to common failures the way a person would and suggests what to do next.
- AI inside, if the task calls for it: for example, retelling news from other languages in your audience’s language.
What is not included
- Integration with a CRM and external services is charged separately, as a line in the “What changes the price” block.
- Maintenance after delivery is separate, monthly, in one of three formats.
Price and timeline
The price range runs from a simple version to a complex one. I name the exact price after a review, before work starts, and it does not go up without your consent. Timelines are in business days, counted from when I receive the deposit and the materials.
| Service | Price, $ | Timeline, days |
|---|---|---|
| Simple bot: requests, menu, common questions | 200–400 | 2–4 |
| Bot with booking or a catalog, a database, and an admin panel | 400–900 | 5–10 |
| Bot with payment, a subscription, or AI | 900–2,500 | 7–12 |
The exact price depends on what the bot has to do and whether the new work has to be connected to what you already have running. A review commits you to nothing.
Prices for everything else are in the approximate price list.

How the work goes
Review
I look at what you have now and where you’re losing time or customers, and I tell you what can be done about it. You don’t have to decide anything before this conversation.
Plan
One page: what I do, what is not included, and what I need from you. This is also where the scope and the price become clear.
Build
I work in stages and show you the result of each one, not everything at once on delivery day.
Check
Before delivery, I run everything on your real data: prices, scenarios, errors.
Handover
I hand over everything: the code, access, and instructions. Then you choose a format: take it all yourself or leave the maintenance to me.
How it looks in practice
What people ask about this service
Can a bot really take money by itself?
Yes. A person pays in Telegram Stars right in the chat, and the subscription turns on at once and renews by itself. You learn about every payment from a message and can refund a payment from the admin panel. The hard cases are worked out in advance: a repeat notice about the same payment, a renewal, a refund, bot downtime during a payment.
Can I take payments in something other than Telegram Stars?
Taking payments another way or integration with an external service is a separate line in the “What changes the price” block: the amount of work depends on what is being connected.
How will I manage the bot?
From Telegram itself. Finding a person by name or number, granting a subscription for the number of days you need, blocking someone, seeing how many people use the bot and how many active subscriptions they have: it is all in the admin panel, with no server access needed.
What happens if the bot runs on schedule and goes quiet?
That is what monthly maintenance is for: it includes a scheduled check that the bot answers and posts go out. If something goes quiet, you or I find out the same day, not when your customers notice, and repairs are already included in the fee.
