A Telegram bot for a small business answers customers from your price list and documents, takes bookings and orders, and hands the chat to a person when it is not sure. With us it costs from $1,500 fixed and goes live in 1-2 weeks. Here is what it does, what it costs and how to get one.
01What it does
Four jobs a Telegram bot does for a small company
- Answers questions. Prices, hours, delivery, terms, what is in stock, all from your own documents, with the source shown so it cannot invent a number.
- Takes bookings and orders. Writes them into your calendar, sheet or CRM and confirms to the customer in the chat.
- Hands over. When the question is unusual or the customer is upset, a person gets the chat with the whole history, in Telegram or in your helpdesk.
- Works in the customer's language. Russian, English and the local language in one bot, tested on the same questions before launch.
The same assistant can sit on your website and in WhatsApp at the same time. Telegram is usually the first channel for a Russian-speaking audience because customers already have it open.

What a Telegram bot for business costs in 2026
Three ways to get a Telegram bot
| What you get | Price | Time | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bot builder, do it yourself | A menu with buttons, fixed answers, no reading of free text | $10-50 a month | an evening |
| AI bot with us | Answers from your documents, bookings, handover, two languages, three months of fixes | from $1,500 fixed | 1-2 weeks |
| Custom development at a large agency | Actions across several systems, payments, loyalty, deep CRM logic | $15,000 and up | 2-4 months |
On top of the build price there is model usage, paid by you to the vendor at published prices. A bot that handles a few hundred conversations a month costs tens of dollars a month to run. Telegram itself charges nothing for a bot.
03How to get one
From your message to a working bot in two weeks
- Day 1. You write to us. Within one working day you get a reply with whether a bot makes sense for your case and a price.
- Week 1. We load your price list, policies and typical replies, and the bot answers a fixed set of test questions with sources.
- Week 2. The bot goes live in your own Telegram account, with handover to a named person and a short written guide.
- Three months after. If something breaks, you write and we fix it. The bot, the code and the data are yours.

Where the conversations live and what GDPR asks
How we build it
- The bot runs in your own Telegram account and your own cloud account in an EU region
- The model vendor does not train on your messages
- A line in the first message tells the customer a bot answers
- You can export or delete any conversation yourself
Watch out for
- A bot that runs in the developer's account
- No answer to where the messages are stored
- Customer chats used to improve someone's model
- A bot that guesses prices instead of quoting your document
