@CryptoBot
Full app-like interfaces that open inside Telegram itself — a real UI with buttons and screens, not just chat messages.
A Telegram Mini App is a genuine app interface — buttons, screens, forms — that opens inside a chat window instead of a separate download. Tap the bot's menu button (or a message button) and it expands into a full-screen or half-screen web view, with none of the back-and-forth of a command-based bot.
This is still a small category: most Telegram bots are chat-only, and only a handful of the ones we tested actually ship a proper Mini App rather than a menu that just says so. Here are the ones that do it well — a crypto wallet, a chess board, a QR scanner using your camera, and a couple of task managers.
The biggest Mini App on this list by far — a full custodial wallet and P2P crypto exchange with 1.5 million monthly users, opened as a screen inside the chat.
A real chess board rendered as a Mini App, with move history and live game state against friends or group members.
Uses your phone's camera through Telegram's own Mini App camera access to scan a QR code, no separate scanner app.
A sticker maker with an actual app interface instead of a step-by-step command flow.
A free team task board opened as a Mini App screen, a lighter alternative to installing Trello for a small team.
Turns a plain-language task description into a structured to-do item inside its own Mini App screen.
Telegram's own built-in wallet, the Mini App every other crypto tool on this site gets compared to.
It's a full web-app interface — buttons, screens, forms — that opens inside a Telegram chat when you tap a menu or message button, instead of sending you to a separate site or app store listing.
No — it runs entirely inside the Telegram app you already have, with nothing to download from an app store.
They run in a sandboxed web view built on Telegram's own Mini Apps platform, but the same rule applies as with any bot: check who built it and what data or permissions it asks for before connecting a wallet or account.
