I built a no-code Telegram bot management platform with 140+ modules — here's what I learned
The problem: Telegram is massive (1B+ users), but managing a real community there is painful. You either write a custom bot, pay a developer, or use janky free tools that break constantly.
What I built: BotLaunch gives you 140+ ready-to-use modules — spam detection, auto-moderation, captcha, user verification, analytics, AI chat, crypto alerts, e-commerce tools, and more. You connect your bot, pick your modules, configure them visually, done.
Tech stack: NestJS + Next.js 15 + Grammy (Telegram framework) + PostgreSQL + Redis. Deployed on Railway.
Current status: Live at botlaunch.io, paying customers, Free plan available.
Biggest lesson so far: Don't build 140 features before talking to users. I did. Some modules nobody asked for, others I had to rush-build because users needed them urgently.
Would love feedback from anyone who's built in the Telegram ecosystem or sold B2B SaaS tools to community managers.
This resonates a lot. Managing real communities on Telegram is still surprisingly painful, even in 2026. Most people either end up duct-taping multiple bots together or paying someone to build something custom.
I like that you were honest about building 140 modules before getting enough user feedback. That’s a mistake a lot of us make, and it’s refreshing to see it called out.
Out of those 140 modules, which ones ended up being the most used by paying customers? And on the flip side, were there any modules you built that almost nobody ended up using?
Also curious about the B2B side — how are you finding and selling to community managers? Is most of your traction coming from smaller communities or bigger ones that actually have budget?
Appreciate you sharing the real lessons.
