Telegram bots and Mini Apps: an app without the App Store.

When a mobile app is overkill and a website is not enough. Bots take enquiries and payments, book appointments, notify customers and staff, show a catalogue. Mini Apps inside Telegram look and work like an app, with no installation and no store review.

What is included

What you get.

Scenarios

We design the dialogues and screens: minimum steps to the goal, clear buttons, error handling.

Node.js or Python, webhooks, queues. Fast, and it does not fall over under load.

Mini App

A web interface inside Telegram: catalogues, forms, accounts, payments, just like an app.

Payments

Kaspi Pay by link or QR, Telegram Payments, automatic payment verification and access granting.

Integrations

amoCRM, Bitrix24, 1C, Google Sheets, your website or API, WhatsApp.

Broadcasts

Segments, scheduling, delivery statistics. Without getting banned for spam.

Admin panel

A panel for your team: enquiries, users, copy, settings.

WhatsApp

Bots and broadcasts on WhatsApp through the official API or our own service.

Hosting and support

Hosted on our servers, monitored and updated.

Bot or app

A bot is ten times cheaper, but it is not always the right fit.

A bot wins when the scenario is short: book, order, pay, get a notification. Most users in Kazakhstan have Telegram, there is nothing to install, and no Apple or Google review either. A Mini App handles more complex interfaces too: a catalogue with filters, a personal account, a calendar.

A mobile app is needed when push notifications outside Telegram matter, when the camera and geolocation need to work in the background, when offline mode is required, or when presence in the stores is an acquisition channel. If in doubt, describe the task and we will tell you honestly which to choose; there is a comparison in our article bot or app.

Our track record

We do this for ourselves too.

Questions

The short version.

How much does a Telegram bot cost?

From ₸200,000 for an enquiry and booking bot, from ₸400,000 with payments and a catalogue, from ₸800,000 for a Mini App. The estimate comes after a short brief.

What is a Telegram Mini App?

A web app that opens inside Telegram and knows who the user is. It looks like a normal app: screens, buttons, forms, payments. Nothing to install from the stores.

Can a bot take payments?

Yes. Kaspi Pay by link or QR with automatic payment verification, Telegram Payments, and Telegram Stars for digital goods.

Can the bot write to amoCRM or 1C?

Yes. Enquiries, customers and orders go to the CRM or 1C immediately, and statuses come back to the user in the bot.

Do you build WhatsApp bots?

Yes, through the official WhatsApp Business API or our own Baileys-based service for smaller volumes. We will advise what suits you and what it costs.
