Free AI bot for Telegram groups: what you actually get
What a free Telegram AI bot covers, where the limits sit, and when it is worth paying. LaPoe's free plan runs on a shared assistant with no bot token and no card.
Most free tiers for Telegram bots stop at a message count. The more useful question is what the bot can actually do before you pay. Here is exactly where LaPoe's free plan starts and stops.
What the free plan includes
The free plan is a real working assistant, not a trial that expires:
- 1 Telegram group.
- 100 AI replies a month.
- Your own knowledge base — page URLs, FAQs or pasted text.
- Rule-based moderation: anti-spam, anti-flood and banned words.
- The full group command set.
- Replies in whatever language each member writes in.
- No card required, and no bot token to create.
What free does not include
Free runs on the shared @LaPoe_bot, so the assistant appears under that name rather than your own branding. Web search is a paid feature — on free, the assistant answers from your knowledge base only. And 100 replies a month suits a small or quiet community; a busy group will pass it.
When it is worth paying
Three signals, in order of how often they matter: you are running out of replies, you want the assistant to carry your own bot name, or you have more than one group. Starter is $18/month for 1 branded bot, 2 groups and 1,000 replies. Pro is $89/month for 3 bots, 6 groups and 5,000 replies.
The part people underestimate
Whether a free bot is worth running has less to do with the reply cap than with what happens to questions it cannot answer. In LaPoe those land in an inbox in your dashboard. You answer once, it becomes knowledge, and the next person who asks gets an automatic answer. That works the same on the free plan, and it is what turns a bot from a novelty into something that reduces work.
Common questions
Is there a genuinely free AI bot for Telegram groups?
Yes. LaPoe's free plan covers 1 group and 100 AI replies a month using the shared @LaPoe_bot, with no card and no bot token required. Knowledge base, moderation and group commands are all included.
What happens when I run out of free replies?
The assistant stops generating AI replies for the rest of the month. Commands and rule-based moderation keep working, and the counter resets at the start of the next month.
How much does a paid Telegram AI bot cost?
LaPoe's Starter plan is $18/month for 1 branded bot, 2 groups and 1,000 AI replies a month. Pro is $89/month for 3 bots, 6 groups and 5,000 replies. Larger workspaces are priced per contract.
