Custom Telegram Bot Development for Leads, Bookings and Payments
A Telegram bot takes requests, books customers, accepts payments and answers questions around the clock. We build bots for Telegram, VK and MAX as one system with a shared customer base. A simple bot costs from $600, and we fix the price and timeline in the contract.
- from $600 a simple bot: menu, answers, requests
- 1–2 weeks for a simple bot
- 3 platforms Telegram, VK and MAX in one system
- 3 months of free fixes after launch
Goals
A chatbot for business: what problems it solves
The bot lives in the messenger where your customers already spend every day. They write in the chat and get an answer right away, and you get a ready request, booking or payment.
- Taking requests
The bot asks the customer a few questions and collects contacts and order details. The finished request comes to you in a chat or in your CRM (a program for tracking customers and deals).
- Customer booking
A booking bot shows services and free time slots, records the choice and reminds the customer about the visit. It suits specialists, studios, tutors and clubs.
- Taking payments
The customer pays without leaving the chat: through YooKassa (a payment service) or with Telegram Stars. The order and the payment go into one database.
- Mailings
Announcements, promotions, results and reminders go to all customers or to a selected group. The message arrives in the messenger and does not get lost among emails.
- 24/7 support
The bot answers common questions day and night. It passes complicated questions to a manager together with the conversation.
- AI assistant
An AI model (YandexGPT, GigaChat or the OpenAI API) answers customers using your materials: price list, rules, instructions. The method is called RAG: the AI first finds the answer in your documents, then words it for the customer.
Platforms and integrations
One bot in Telegram, VK and MAX, with payments and CRM
Customers use different messengers. We build bots for MAX and VK the same way as for Telegram, and we can combine all three platforms into one system.
MAX is a Russian messenger. VK (VKontakte) is a social network where people write to communities. Part of your audience does not use Telegram, and a bot on other platforms helps you keep these customers.
- Telegram, VK and MAX in one system
The customer writes where it is convenient. Users are shared across all platforms, and data syncs in real time.
- Bot with payments
We accept payments through YooKassa, CloudPayments, SBP (Russia's instant payment system) and Telegram Stars (Telegram's internal currency). The customer pays for the order right in the chat.
- Bot with amoCRM and Bitrix24 integration
Requests and customer data go into your CRM. Managers work in a familiar interface and do not move data by hand. We also connect 1C, the accounting program (the most common in Russia) where many companies keep goods and stock.
Prices and timelines
Telegram bot price and development timelines
Custom Telegram bot development starts at $600. Below are three typical bots. We give the exact cost after the brief (a description of your task) and put it in the contract.
| What we build | Price | Timeline | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple bot | from $600 | 1–2 weeks | Menu, answers to common questions, taking requests. |
| Bot with payments and a customer base | from $1,300 | 2–4 weeks | Payment in the chat (YooKassa, Telegram Stars and other methods), a customer base with contacts and orders. |
| Bot + CRM + admin panel | from $2,400 | 4–6 weeks | Integration with amoCRM or Bitrix24 and an admin panel (a page where you manage the bot yourself). |
Prices are for Telegram. We calculate a bot for VK or MAX, and a single system for several messengers, from the brief. A rush job costs about 25% more, and the timeline is about 20% shorter. The final price is fixed in the contract. Dollar amounts are approximate: our prices are set in rubles.
What affects the price
- The number of scenarios: the more sections, buttons and answer options, the more work.
- Payments: connecting YooKassa, SBP or Telegram Stars.
- Integrations: amoCRM, Bitrix24, 1C, a warehouse.
- An admin panel, if you want to change the bot's content without a programmer.
- The number of messengers: Telegram only, or VK and MAX as well.
- An AI assistant that answers customers using your documents.
We also build connections to 1C, a warehouse or a payment service as a separate service: from $1,300, 2–5 weeks.
Process and guarantees
Turnkey Telegram bot development: stages and guarantees
Turnkey Telegram bot development works like this: we write the technical specification (a description of what the bot will do) ourselves, draw a prototype and design, program, test and launch. We work remotely with clients across Russia.
- Intro · 1 day
A chat in Telegram or a 30-minute call. You describe the goal, and we write the technical specification. We sign an NDA (a non-disclosure agreement) before we discuss your idea.
- Prototype and estimate · 3–5 days
We build a prototype (a rough version that shows how the bot will work) and calculate the estimate. If you stop at this step, you keep the prototype.
- Design · 1–3 weeks
We draw the look: menu, buttons and screens. Two rounds of revisions are included in the price.
- Development · stages of 1–2 weeks
Every 1–2 weeks we show a working build (a demo). You look at it and tell us what to change.
- Testing and launch · about 1 week
We test the bot on real devices, run load testing (many people write at the same time) and publish the bot in Telegram.
- Support and growth · by agreement
24/7 monitoring, alerts to us in Telegram, a monthly report. We add new features by agreement.
The final timeline depends on the complexity of the bot. The table above gives guidelines by bot type.

Cases
Bots for a festival, a tournament and a forum
The studio has been working since spring 2025 and built more than 50 projects in its first year. Here are bots we launched for events.
TournamentTelegram bot
Chelyabinsk Mini-Football Cup
The tournament bot takes team registrations, shows a stadium map and sends mailings after matches.
- Team registration
- Stadium map
- Mailings after matches
ForumTelegram botMini App
Internet Safety School 4.0 forum
A five-day forum. The bot and a Mini App (screens inside Telegram that look like a small website) work with three access levels.
- 3 access levels
- Schedule
- Participant ranking
- User account
- Feedback
- Mass mailings
- Admin panel
You can see how a bot books customers on the home page. In the phone window, open the “Bot” tab: it has a demo booking bot for Linen Studio, with a deposit. This is a demo of our capabilities. It is not a client project.

Do I need to write the technical specification for the bot myself?
No. It is enough to describe your goal, in a Telegram chat or on a 30-minute call. We write the technical specification ourselves.
In 3–5 days you get a prototype and an estimate. If you decide to stop at this step, you keep the prototype. We discuss your idea after signing an NDA (a non-disclosure agreement).
Can one bot work in Telegram, VK and MAX at once?
Yes. We build such bots as one system: users are shared and data syncs in real time. You work with one shared customer base.
