Is a server required for a Telegram chat bot to work?

Question

Chats

If you create a chat bot in the constructor, then you have to pay every month for it to work. If you do not pay, then the chat bot will not work.
And if you order development from a programmer, will you also need a server part or not?

Answer 1

Certainly. You will receive callbacks somewhere according to user messages and, according to some algorithms, you will have to send to telegrams. You can also control sending limits. In simple cases, SaaS bots are much cheaper than developing a personal bot + paying for hosting + setting it up
