What a business Telegram bot costs in 2026

art-bots starts at 45,000 ₽ for a ready core with your copy and one or two joints (was 68,000 ₽). Not a same-evening catalogue bot — a launch you can give to clients.

Custom starts when you have your own roles, approvals, odd cancel rules, several legal entities, an unusual API — from 79,000 ₽.

Care from 8,500 ₽/mo is servers, watch, edits, and global API updates. Telegram or your ledger ships a new contract — the core is patched for every studio bot, not billed as “a different project”.

The expensive part is a fuzzy brief. Half an hour in the @art_bots_bot bot saves weeks of rework.

If someone offers “any bot turnkey for 15,000”, ask who pays when 1C changes a handle. Care is never free. It is only hidden.
