Pick the platform that matches how you run your Telegram channel or group. If you want moderation plus automation modules you toggle on, BotLaunch includes a Telegram channel and group manager. If you also sell, BotLaunch can add a Telegram Mini App storefront that opens inside the chat.
Setup effort and where you start
BotLaunch
You add your bot to your channel or group as an admin and enable modules from the BotLaunch web dashboard. No coding required. Bot tokens and sensitive data are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
grouphelp
Grouphelp is commonly categorized as a Telegram group or channel helper tool. Because features and pricing vary by offer and plan, check the exact grouphelp page for what it includes beyond moderation.

Cost and where the customer ends up
- Bot manager pricing (BotLaunch): Free is $0/mo, Starter is $15/mo, Pro is $39/mo, and Business is $99/mo. The free plan never limits members or messages.
- Mini App store pricing (BotLaunch): Free is $0/mo, Starter is $19/mo, Growth is $49/mo, and Business is $99/mo.
- Customer experience: BotLaunch Mini App store opens inside Telegram. Customers do not need a website or a separate app.

When each one wins
- Choose BotLaunch if you want moderation plus automation and analytics in one Telegram-native setup, with 165 module types for channel and group management that you toggle on from a dashboard. It also fits if you want to add an in-chat Mini App storefront for products, digital deliveries, courses, bookings, or real estate listings.
- Choose grouphelp if it better matches your existing workflow for Telegram moderation and you only need a narrower toolset. Since grouphelp features and pricing can differ by offer, validate what modules cover anti-spam, CAPTCHA, analytics, and automation in the specific plan you are considering.
Where BotLaunch fits
BotLaunch fits Telegram channel and group owners who want a no-code manager for moderation, anti-spam, CAPTCHA verification, and automation modules, plus an optional Telegram Mini App store that customers can use inside the chat. You can also start with a free plan because the free bot manager plan never limits members or messages.
