Best Bots for Telegram Groups in 2026
June 2026 · Telemod Team
Managing a Telegram group without a bot is exhausting. Spam, advertising bots and malicious links arrive non-stop. The right moderation bot eliminates 95% of spam automatically. Here is a comparison of the top options in 2026.
Bot comparison
| Bot | Features | Federation | Web panel | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telemod | Free / $3 / $7 | |||
| Rose | Free | |||
| ChatKeeper | $5+/mo | |||
| OmniGest | Free |
Telemod
The most complete moderation bot available. Telemod combines anti-spam, captcha, word and link filters, AI moderation (OpenAI or Gemini) and group federation in one tool. Its web dashboard gives admins full control without typing commands in the chat. The free tier covers up to 3 groups with no time limit.
Rose
A solid multi-function bot with filters, warnings and waiting rooms. Rose is widely used and free, but has no web panel and no federation. Configuration is done entirely through chat commands, which can be slow for large admin teams.
ChatKeeper
A professional bot with strong anti-spam and its own web dashboard. ChatKeeper has good analytics but lacks AI moderation and federation. Paid plans start around $5 per month, making it more expensive than Telemod for comparable features.
OmniGest
A free bot that covers basic anti-spam, group notes and welcome messages. OmniGest has no web panel and no federation — a lightweight option for small groups that do not need advanced filters.
