Free Telegram Shop Bot Plan

The telegram shop bot free plan exists, and this page documents exactly what is in it — no asterisks. One store, up to 15 products, every core feature, no credit card and no trial timer. You pay only when you outgrow it. This is the plan most sellers should start on: it validates the offer in front of real buyers before a single ruble is spent.

What is included in the free plan

Everything the store itself needs, from the first minute:

• Visual catalog builder with photos, prices and categories
• Shopping cart and one-tap checkout in the storefront
• Order feed with one-click status buttons in the seller cabinet
• A PWA storefront link — opens in Telegram, installs on the home screen, works offline
• Basic visit analytics and order history

The daily loop looks the same on every plan: a buyer taps the storefront link in your channel, opens the catalog inside Telegram, adds products to the cart and sends the order in two taps. On your side the order appears in the cabinet feed with one-click status buttons — new, paid, shipped — and the buyer is notified at every step. No code, no hosting, no domain: the free plan is the full store, not a demo of one.

The honest limits, in one table — free versus the paid tiers, same numbers the live pricing page shows:

Plan	Stores	Products	Price
Free (Start)	1	15	0 ₽
Pro	3	150	690 ₽/mo
Business	unlimited	1 000	1 490 ₽/mo

What you get when you upgrade

Upgrading adds capacity, not features-you-were-missing: more products, more stores, priority support. The transition is invisible — the same storefront, the same orders, the same links; every product and every order carries over. The trigger to upgrade is concrete: you hit the 15-product cap, or you want a second store for a second audience. Until then, the free plan does not degrade — there is no clock on it.

A concrete example of the path: a handmade seller starts with twelve products and a channel of three hundred people. Two months in, the store works — repeat buyers arrive from the channel, and the seller wants to add variants (colors, sizes) that would push the catalog past fifteen. That evening they upgrade to Pro: the same storefront wakes up with room for 150 products and three stores, and the buyer notices nothing except a bigger catalog. Nobody was pushed — the store simply grew into the paid tier.

Why free is not a trap

Because the business model says so out loud. Competitors run 7-day trials that lock the store when the timer ends; that converts frustration, not sellers. Here the free tier is permanent — the paid tiers exist for sellers who grow, and growth is the only upsell. No credit card is asked at signup, nothing expires, and the store you build on the free plan is the same store buyers see on paid plans.

The economics behind the promise are simple: the cost of one more small store on the platform is close to zero, so the free tier can stay permanent. The sellers who outgrow it — more products, more stores, priority support — fund the platform. The ones who never outgrow it keep a working store anyway, and their storefronts are the product's honest demo. A free plan that expires would optimize for upgrade pressure; a permanent one optimizes for stores that actually sell. When the store is live, the payment methods hub explains both rails, and the Telegram shop bot builder home shows what the paid tiers add.
