What is the difference between Mini Apps and Bots?

In TeleAds, advertisers can launch campaigns for both Telegram Mini Apps and Bots. However, it's important to understand the differences between them before starting your ad campaign.

Telegram Mini Apps and Bots serve different purposes, though both enhance user interaction within Telegram.

  • Mini Apps are fully interactive web applications that run inside Telegram. They provide a seamless, app-like experience with custom UI and advanced functionality, such as e-commerce stores, games, or booking systems.

  • Bots are automated chat-based interfaces that interact with users through messages, commands, and inline queries. They are primarily used for automation, notifications, and simple interactions.

What is the right application for me to choose?

Bots may work better for some ads, while mini apps may perform better for others. We recommend perform testing as there’s no guarantee that one will always outperform the other.
