Comparison

Kommo is a sales pipeline with Telegram attached. Entergram is Telegram.

Kommo is a mature messenger-based sales CRM with a strong pipeline, automation and a growing set of AI agents. Its Telegram channel runs on the Bot API: you create a bot in BotFather and paste the token. Entergram connects the real personal accounts your customers already message, so history, groups and outbound all work, and puts a shared inbox, ticketing, analytics and MCP on top.

Quick verdict

If your process is pipeline-first and Telegram is one contact method among several, Kommo is a capable CRM and its deal management is better than Entergram's. If Telegram is the medium your business actually runs in, Kommo's bot channel will only ever see the fraction of Telegram traffic a bot is permitted to see, and you will be committing to at least six months to find that out.

  • Telegram connection: Kommo connects a BotFather bot. Entergram connects the real account, so history, groups and outbound all work.
  • Commitment: Kommo's minimum subscription is six months and monthly payment is not offered. Entergram bills monthly or annually.
  • Cost shape: Kommo is $25 to $45 per user per month depending on tier. Entergram is per seat with unlimited chats and contacts.
  • Where Kommo still wins: classic sales pipeline and deal management, Salesbot automation, and WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok in the same CRM.

Why Telegram-first teams choose Entergram

The Telegram channel is a bot

Kommo reaches Telegram through the Bot API, so a customer has to find and start your bot before a conversation can exist, the bot cannot message anyone first, and it cannot see what a group said before it joined. Entergram connects the account, so the inbox contains what your team actually sees on their phones.

A conversation model, not a deal model

Kommo organises around the deal, which suits a business where selling is a sequence of stages. Telegram-led businesses organise around the conversation: the same group chat may carry three unrelated issues at once. Entergram raises independent tickets from individual messages inside one chat, which a pipeline stage cannot represent.

No six-month commitment

Kommo's minimum subscription period is six months and monthly payment is not currently offered, so evaluating it properly means committing to half a year. Entergram bills monthly or annually with no minimum term, so the cost of being wrong is one month.

AI that is not metered by credits

Kommo meters AI agents with monthly credit allowances by tier. Entergram's MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini direct access to every connected account, searching history, filling CRM fields, opening tickets and sending replies through your own accounts, with no per-action fee.

The core difference

A pipeline with messengers attached vs. a business run inside Telegram

Kommo and Entergram answer different questions. Kommo answers “how do I move deals through stages, with messengers as contact methods?” Entergram answers “how do I run a team properly inside the messenger my customers actually use?”

What Kommo is built for

Kommo is a messenger-first sales CRM with a genuinely good pipeline. Leads arrive from WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram and web forms, land on a board, and move through stages with Salesbot automation and AI agents attached. For a team whose work is qualifying and closing a stream of inbound leads, this is a coherent and well-built product.

Its 2026 pricing is $25 per user per month on Base, $35 on Advanced and $45 on Pro, with AI credits scaling by tier (750, 1,250 and 2,250 respectively) and unlimited channels on Pro. The trial is 14 days with no card required, capped at 10GB of media.

The commercial detail most buyers miss is the term. The minimum subscription period is six months and monthly payment is not currently available, with further discounts for nine-month, one-year and two-year commitments.

What happens to Telegram inside it

Telegram in Kommo is a bot channel. Kommo's own setup is explicit about it: create a bot in Telegram, copy the bot's API token, paste the token in Kommo, and start chatting from the lead card. The consequences are Telegram's rules rather than Kommo's design choices, and they apply identically to every vendor using the Bot API.

A bot cannot send the first message to a user, so there is no Telegram outbound, follow-up or reactivation. A bot cannot see anything a group said before it was added, so history starts at zero. In groups, privacy mode is on by default, so the bot receives only commands and direct replies unless it is promoted to administrator in each customer group.

For a business whose Telegram presence is a public support or lead-capture bot, that is workable. For a business whose customers message a person, which on Telegram is the overwhelming majority, most of the Telegram traffic never reaches the CRM at all. The pipeline then reports Telegram as a modest channel, because the CRM can only count what the bot was allowed to see.

  • No first outbound message from the Telegram channel
  • No chat history from before the bot was connected
  • Group chats partly or entirely invisible
  • Customers must find and start the bot before any conversation exists

Deals versus conversations

This difference is more consequential than the feature tables suggest. A pipeline assumes a record moves forward through stages, which is exactly right for a sales motion and awkward for a Telegram community, a partner group or a shared customer channel where several unrelated threads run at once and never resolve into a single outcome.

Entergram models the conversation as the record. A group chat carries an owner, custom columns and its own history, and tickets are raised from individual messages inside it, each with a priority, assignee, due date and SLA. Three issues in one group become three tickets rather than one ambiguous deal card.

Automation: Salesbot vs. an open protocol

Kommo's Salesbot and pipeline automation are a real strength, and Entergram has no visual equivalent. If you want drag-and-drop stage automation across several messengers, Kommo is the better tool and this page will not pretend otherwise.

Entergram's bet is programmability: a REST API, Make.com, reminders, broadcast, and an MCP server spanning every Telegram account on a seat. A model that reads the actual conversation replaces a lot of branching logic, because it triages by meaning rather than keyword and does not need a rule written for every case. AI inbox triage over MCP shows the pattern.

The commitment difference is worth pricing

Kommo's six-month minimum changes how you should evaluate it. A five-person team on Advanced is $175 per month, so the smallest real commitment is roughly $1,050 before you know whether the Telegram channel shows you enough of your traffic to be useful. Given that a bot channel structurally cannot show you DMs to team accounts or pre-existing group history, that is a meaningful risk to take up front.

Entergram charges per seat with no minimum term and unlimited chats and contacts, so the cost of finding out is a single month. See the pricing page for current rates.

Cost

Kommo vs Entergram pricing

Kommo's headline per-user prices are competitive. The detail that changes the comparison is the six-month minimum term and the AI credit metering.

A five-person team, the smallest real commitment

Five users on Kommo Advanced is $175 per month, and because the minimum term is six months the smallest commitment you can actually make is around $1,050. Kommo's 14-day trial is generous and worth using fully, but the trial cannot demonstrate the thing that matters most here, because a bot channel cannot show you the DMs and group history it is not permitted to see.

The question to settle during that trial is simple: what share of your real Telegram conversation volume appears in Kommo at all? If your customers message people rather than your bot, the honest answer is usually a small fraction, and no pipeline feature compensates for conversations the CRM never receives.

Honest recommendation

Which one should you actually choose?

Ask where the work happens. If it happens in a pipeline and Telegram is a contact method, buy Kommo. If it happens in Telegram itself, a bot channel will not reach it.

Choose Kommo if…

  • Your process is deal-first and a stage pipeline is how the team works
  • Leads arrive from WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok as well as Telegram
  • Salesbot automation across stages is central to your operation
  • Telegram is a public bot customers opt into, not a personal channel
  • A six-month commitment is acceptable for the price per user

Choose Entergram if…

  • Telegram is where your customers actually write, on personal accounts
  • You need Telegram outbound and follow-up, which no bot channel can do
  • Group chats and communities need owners, fields, tickets and reporting
  • You run several Telegram accounts that should share one inbox
  • You want AI acting across every connected account via MCP
  • You would rather not commit to six months before seeing real volume

Switching

Moving Telegram off Kommo

If Kommo is running a real sales pipeline across several messengers, keep it. This is usually about moving one channel out, and letting the CRM keep the job it is good at.

  1. 1

    Connect your Telegram accounts

    Authorise each account that carries customer conversations. History, groups and channels sync automatically, and each account routes through its own unique proxy.

  2. 2

    Compare what you can now see

    Spend the first day just looking. Most teams find the Telegram volume in Entergram is several times what the bot channel reported, because DMs to team accounts and group chats never reached Kommo.

  3. 3

    Rebuild the fields and stages you use

    Recreate the lead fields and pipeline stages you genuinely fill in as Entergram custom columns and ticket statuses. Keep the vocabulary identical so reporting stays comparable across the move.

  4. 4

    Move customers from the bot to the account

    Update the Telegram link everywhere it appears: website, docs, signatures, ads. Keep the bot running for a few weeks as a safety net, then retire it.

  5. 5

    Decide what Kommo keeps

    If WhatsApp, Instagram and the deal pipeline are doing real work, leave them in Kommo and push Telegram events across with Entergram's REST API or Make.com so reporting stays consolidated.

  6. 6

    Time the change to your renewal

    Because Kommo bills on a minimum six-month term, plan the move for the end of a term rather than the middle. Recalculate the user count you still need there once Telegram has left.

Connecting an account is a Telegram session, not a data export, and disconnecting leaves every chat untouched. See the security page.

FAQ

Kommo vs Entergram - frequently asked questions

How does Kommo connect to Telegram?
Through the Telegram Bot API. Kommo's own setup instructions are to create a bot in Telegram, copy the bot's API token, paste it into Kommo, and then chat from the lead card. It does not connect a personal Telegram account, so everything that follows is governed by what Telegram permits a bot to do.
What does a bot-based Telegram channel miss?
Three things that usually matter more than any feature. It cannot send the first message to a user, so there is no outbound, follow-up or reactivation. It cannot see anything a group chat said before it was added, so there is no history. And in groups it runs with privacy mode on by default, receiving only commands and direct replies unless promoted to admin. If your customers message people rather than bots, most of your Telegram traffic never appears in the CRM.
Is Kommo's pipeline better than Entergram's?
For classic deal management, yes, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. Kommo is built around a sales pipeline with stages, Salesbot automation and AI agents, and it does that job well. Entergram's CRM is built around conversations rather than deals: custom columns on chats and groups, tickets raised from individual messages, SLAs and Telegram-specific analytics. Which is better depends entirely on whether your work is a pipeline or an inbox.
What is Kommo's minimum commitment?
Six months. Kommo states that the minimum subscription period is six months and that monthly payment is not currently available, with additional discounts for nine-month, one-year and two-year terms. The free trial is 14 days with no card required and a 10GB media cap. Entergram bills monthly or annually with no minimum term.
Can I keep Kommo for sales and use Entergram for Telegram?
Yes, and for teams with a genuine multi-channel pipeline it is often the sensible arrangement. Kommo keeps the deal management and the channels it handles well, Entergram takes Telegram. Entergram's REST API and Make.com integration can push Telegram events into Kommo so pipeline reporting stays consolidated.
Which is better for Telegram group chats?
Entergram, without much argument. A bot in a group sees only commands and direct replies unless it is made an administrator, and it can never see what was said before it joined. Entergram sees the group the way your team does, and treats it as a record with an owner, custom columns and multiple independent tickets raised from individual messages.
How many Telegram accounts can Entergram handle?
More than a hundred in a single inbox, with no switching between them. You filter to the accounts you need to watch rather than logging in and out, each account is routed through its own unique proxy, and permissions are set per account so a member can be given one shared account without seeing the rest.
Will my Telegram customers notice the change?
They will notice they are talking to a person instead of a bot, on an account they may already have saved. There is nothing for them to install, start or save, and the switch happens entirely on your side.
