Telegram Groups are a powerful tool for building communities and can support up to 100,000 members each.

Telegram Groups are not feature-rich by default. For example, there’re no group statistics, paywalls, and content filters. We hand-picked some of the best Telegram bots that can extend basic group functionality and make your community spam-free, easily managed and even paywalled.

With the help of the bots described below you’ll be able to:

  • Send a welcome message to every new group member;
  • Track group statistics;
  • Protect your group from bots used to spam in public groups;
  • Protect your group from virus/malware links;
  • Filter unwanted content (specific links, video, voice messages, etc.);
  • Make your group paid.

Let’s get started!
