**TL;DR:** Simple bots start around $200–$800; payment platforms and dashboards run $3,000+. Price depends on features, integrations, hosting, and maintenance — not a flat package.

There is no single price for a Telegram bot. BDBOTS quotes every project individually after discovery. Here are the factors that move cost up or down.

## Simple bots ($200–$800 range)

FAQ bots, notification relays, basic command handlers, single admin. Typically 3–7 days of work.

## Mid-complexity ($800–$3,000)

User accounts, database, admin panel, scheduled jobs, multi-step flows. 2–4 weeks.

## Complex platforms ($3,000+)

Payment integration, web dashboard, multi-tenant architecture, high availability hosting, compliance requirements. 4–12+ weeks.

## Ongoing costs

- Hosting: $10–$100+/month depending on traffic

- Maintenance: optional monthly retainer for updates and support

- Third-party APIs: SMS, payment gateways, AI models
