How much a Telegram bot for business costs

At the HEXIS studio a lead bot costs from $100 and takes 1⁠–⁠2 days, a bot with booking and payments from $200 and 3⁠–⁠4 days, a Telegram mini app from $400 and 4⁠–⁠7 days. The price depends on what the bot does on its own: takes a lead, books a client and collects a prepayment, or sells through a catalog inside Telegram. Below is each option and what is paid separately.

Prices by type of bot

A “from” price is the smallest scope in each option. The sum for your bot is fixed in the contract together with the scenarios and the timeline.

Type of botPriceTimelineWhat it does
Lead botfrom $1001⁠–⁠2 daysA quiz, leads to the CRM and notifications
Booking and paymentsfrom $2003⁠–⁠4 daysCalendar, prepayment, reminders
Mini appfrom $4004⁠–⁠7 daysCatalog and accounts inside Telegram

A lead bot

The simplest option. The bot asks the client a few questions, turns the answers into a lead and sends it to the CRM and to a manager in Telegram. The client can leave a lead at any hour, and the manager gets it with the answers already in, so the first call is not spent on questions.

A flow like this is where business process automation usually starts.

A bot with booking and payments

The bot shows free slots, books the client, collects a prepayment and sends a reminder before the visit. It suits salons, clinics, studios and anyone who works by appointment: the front desk stops answering the same questions, and fewer slots are lost to no-shows.

A Telegram mini app

An app that opens inside Telegram from the bot chat, with no app-store install. It holds a catalog with a cart and payment, or booking with a customer account, rewards and subscriptions.

How it works, how it differs from a website and when you need one is covered in what a Telegram Mini App is.

What the price depends on

  • The number of scenarios. Each branch of the dialog means copy, buttons and testing. A bot with one funnel costs less than one that handles new clients, regular clients and staff separately.
  • Integrations. Links to a CRM, a calendar, a payment provider, 1C or inventory add work and their own lines to the estimate.
  • AI answers. If the bot answers questions from your knowledge base, the base has to be put together and the answers checked before launch.
  • Broadcasts and segments. Reminders, win-back messages and broadcasts to client groups need a database and rules for who gets what and when.
  • Other messengers. The same engine can serve WhatsApp and Instagram, and each channel is set up separately.

What is paid separately

  • A server. A bot needs a server that runs around the clock. You pay the host directly.
  • The payment provider. Stripe, Kaspi and others take their own commission on each payment.
  • Paid services. A CRM and AI models charge a subscription or a fee per volume.
  • Support after launch. Changes, new scenarios and advice run on a subscription with a fixed monthly fee.

Fill in the brief: four short steps, about three minutes. Describe what the bot should do on its own and which services it should talk to. Within a working day we send a solution and an estimate with the price and the timeline.

Questions

A bot talks through messages and buttons in the chat. A mini app opens from the chat as its own screen with a catalog, a cart or an account. When there are many products or services to show, a mini app is easier to use.
