Why Mini Apps · why now

Web apps but without the install.

Telegram Mini Apps live inside a chat. No App Store, no install, no friction. 950 million users already opened today. Native payments via Stars and TON.

950M

Users on Telegram · 2026

Bigger than X, LinkedIn and Snapchat combined. 700M monthly active. They're already there — you just open in their chat.

0s

Install friction

Tap → open. No App Store review, no APK download, no "compatible with your device". Mini App opens like a Notion page would.

Cheaper than a native app

Average TMA: €1 800 – €6 000 fixed-price. Average native iOS+Android: €25 000+. Same business outcome — at a fraction.

Questions

Quick answers.

Anything else? Drop a message in our Telegram — we reply within an hour during EU hours.

@tonhq
Do you handle BotFather, Stars setup, and bot registration? +
Yes — that's all included in every package. We register the bot with @BotFather, configure the Mini App URL, set up Stars in Bot API 8.0, and handle the bot review process. You just give us the desired @handle and we hand back a working bot.
How does the fixed-price guarantee work? +
Once the wireframe is signed off (day 2), the price is locked. If during build we discover scope creep, we tell you in writing — you decide to keep it or cut it. No surprise invoices. About 90% of our projects land exactly on the original quote.
Can I pay in TON / crypto? +
Yes. We accept EUR (bank transfer, SEPA), USDT (TRC20/ERC20), and TON. For TON payments we apply a 5% discount. For EU registered companies we issue a VAT invoice.
What if Telegram changes the Bot API? +
We include free updates for API breaking changes for 12 months post-launch. Most TG updates are backwards-compatible — and our codebase is structured to swap the SDK version with one file change.
Do you do AI / Claude integrations inside the Mini App? +
Yes — most of our recent apps have at least one Claude or OpenAI call (chat, generation, moderation). Standard package includes 1 AI flow. Custom package can do agentic loops, RAG, vision.

Open in Telegram.
Ship in 14 days.

Book a 30-minute call. We'll scope your app, propose a Stars/TON model, and send a fixed-price quote within 24 hours. No NDA required for the first call.
