About TGLiveChat
We built a live chat widget that sends messages to Telegram instead of yet another dashboard you'll forget to check.
TGLiveChat is a live chat widget for websites that routes visitor messages directly to Telegram instead of a separate dashboard. You embed a single JavaScript snippet on your site, connect it to your Telegram bot, and every chat that comes in arrives as a Telegram message. You reply from Telegram — no new app, no new interface to learn. It's built for small businesses, freelancers, and solo operators who already use Telegram and don't want to manage yet another notification stream. The widget runs inside a Shadow DOM so it won't interfere with your site's CSS, loads in under 200ms, weighs about 10KB gzipped, and works on any website regardless of the tech stack. You can pick from 25 built-in themes, set working hours, route chats to Telegram groups, and see visitor details like country and device type. It's the thinnest possible bridge between a website visitor and a Telegram user.
How this started
Picture this. You run a small business. You install a live chat widget because everyone says you should. Now you have another tab open. Another app sending notifications. Another login to remember.
You're already juggling email, WhatsApp, your project management tool, and whatever other apps your workflow demands. The live chat dashboard becomes tab number fifteen. You check it twice a day if you're disciplined. Most days, you forget.
Meanwhile, a potential customer typed "hey, do you ship to Canada?" three hours ago. They've already bought from your competitor.
The thing is, there's one app you actually never close. Telegram. It's on your phone, your desktop, your tablet. You reply to Telegram messages while waiting for coffee. While in line at the grocery store. It's just... always there.
So the idea was embarrassingly simple: what if the live chat widget just sent messages to Telegram? No new dashboard. No new app. No new notification stream to manage. Your visitor types a message, you get a Telegram notification, you reply from Telegram. Done.
That's TGLiveChat. The whole pitch fits in two sentences.
One app. One notification stream.
Most live chat tools want to become your entire customer support platform. They add ticketing, CRM, AI bots forced into every plan, and seventeen integrations you'll never configure.
We think that's backwards. You don't need another platform. You need your existing workflow to handle one more input. Telegram already does notifications, message history, file sharing, group chats, and it works on every device you own.
So we built the thinnest possible bridge between your website visitor and your Telegram. No bloat. No feature creep. No "you should upgrade to unlock this basic thing."
We're not building the next Intercom. We're building the thing that makes you not need Intercom.

What we believe
Privacy first
We don't track your visitors. No analytics cookies, no fingerprinting, no selling data to advertisers. The widget connects your visitor to you. That's it.
Simplicity over features
We'd rather do three things really well than fifteen things badly. Every feature earns its place or gets cut.
No vendor lock-in
Your conversations live in your Telegram. If you leave TGLiveChat tomorrow, your chat history stays with you. We don't hold your data hostage.
Open pricing
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No 'contact sales for enterprise pricing' nonsense. You see what you pay before you pay it.
Say hello
Got a question? Feature request? Found a bug? Just want to tell us your dog's name? We read every message. Usually reply within a few hours (from Telegram, obviously).
Drop us a message
We'll get back to you before you forget you sent it.
Common questions
What makes TGLiveChat different from other live chat tools?
Most live chat tools give you a new dashboard to manage. TGLiveChat gives you a Telegram notification. You're already in Telegram — now your website visitors are too.
Is TGLiveChat free?
There's a free plan for the basics. Paid plans unlock unlimited widgets, white-label, Telegram group routing, visitor details, email notifications, and the full chat history dashboard. One-time lifetime deal also available.
Does TGLiveChat work without Telegram?
No. The whole product is built around routing to Telegram. If you don't use Telegram, this isn't the right tool for you — and we'd rather tell you that now than have you frustrated later.
How is visitor data stored?
Messages relay through our servers and are stored in Supabase. We don't sell or share visitor data, run no ad tracking, and use zero third-party analytics. Delete your account and your data goes with it.
Is TGLiveChat open source?
The widget client is open source so you can inspect what's running in your visitors' browsers. The backend relay and dashboard are proprietary.
Who is TGLiveChat built for?
Small business owners, freelancers, consultants, and solo operators who live in Telegram. If you're always on your phone and hate missing messages, this is built for you.
Since 2015SEO, AEO, GEO, AI automation, and web development — all under one roof. We make brands visible across every search surface that matters, then build the products to back it up. TGLiveChat is one of 15+ tools we've built in-house.
