The instant messaging app is offering new features for business accounts for a monthly fee. Here's how much it costs.
Telegram, one of the most popular chat platforms in the world, especially in Eastern European regions, has finally launched a Business mode, similar to WhatsApp Business. This was confirmed by the founder of the app, Pavel Durov, in an announcement on Wednesday.
Unlike WhatsApp Business, Telegram Business does not require a separate app and can be accessed within the original Telegram itself, but it does require a paid subscription to transform your personal Telegram account into a Telegram Business account.
How much does Telegram Business cost?
It is now also available in South Africa and can be purchased panama number screening for US$5 per month, or at the special annual price of US$35, which translates to US$3 per month. Users who already have Telegram Premium receive early access to Telegram Business features, but this is “temporary” according to the app.

According to TechCrunch, transferring to a business account will allow users to list information such as business locations and opening hours. They will also be able to organize chats with colored labels, create automated greeting messages or away messages, and their own shortcut for quick replies.
Durov explained that Telegram will launch more business features later this month, including a way to integrate AI-powered chatbots for customer service, something that is already possible on WhatsApp.
“Telegram Business accounts will be able to seamlessly add chatbots as their invisible secretaries to respond to all or certain chats. With AI, these chatbots can take customer service automation to a whole new level,” Durov said.
