Custom bot development vs a hosted relay

Several Indian development shops will build you a bespoke TradingView-to-Telegram bot, quoted on request. That is the right call for some projects and badly oversized for most. Here is how to tell which you are.

Commissioning a custom TradingView-to-Telegram bot gets you exactly the behaviour you specify — your own branding, your own infrastructure, optional exchange execution, whatever dashboard you want — on an agency timeline and an agency quote, typically without public pricing. A hosted relay like AlertSync gives you the standard behaviour immediately for ₹149/mo (≈$4/mo), with a free tier to prove it first. Custom development is worth it when the requirement is genuinely non-standard or the bot is part of a product you are selling; for a trader who wants signals in Telegram, it is a large amount of money and time for something already available off the shelf.

What custom bot development is

Agencies in this space — DotPhi Infosolutions, based in Nashik and Mumbai, is the one that ranks for this query — build TradingView webhook processors that broadcast into Telegram groups, log to a database, and can optionally trigger execution APIs on exchanges such as Binance. Pricing is not published; the site offers a quote on enquiry. What you receive is a bespoke system you own and run.

Commission a custom build if…

The bot is part of something you are selling, or the requirement is genuinely unusual. If subscribers must see your brand rather than ours, if alerts have to trigger orders on an exchange, if you need a custom dashboard, your own database of signal history, or logic no off-the-shelf relay expresses — that is a real development project and an agency is the right answer. Owning the source code matters if this becomes core to your business.

Use a hosted relay if…

You want signals in Telegram and nothing more exotic. The standard requirement — a TradingView alert reaching your chat, your group or your channel, reliably, with a log you can check — is already solved, and AlertSync does it for ₹149/mo with a free tier so you can confirm it works before spending anything. There is no scoping call, no quote, no delivery date, and nothing to host. If your needs grow past it later, you have lost a few hundred rupees rather than a build budget.

Trying AlertSync takes two minutes

You do not have to commit to find out. The Free plan needs no card and covers 50 alerts a month, and switching an existing TradingView alert over is a single field: replace the webhook URL and save. Your alert message body, TradingView variables and templates all carry across unchanged, because AlertSync accepts plain text and JSON alike.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a custom TradingView Telegram bot cost?

Agencies in this space generally do not publish prices — DotPhi, for instance, offers a quote on enquiry rather than a rate card. Cost depends on scope: broadcasting alerts to a group is a small project, while adding exchange execution, a dashboard and signal-history storage is a much larger one. You should also budget for hosting and ongoing maintenance, which are yours after delivery.

Can I put my own branding on AlertSync alerts?

Not on the bot itself — alerts arrive from the shared @AlertSyncOfficial_Bot, so subscribers see that name. The message content is entirely yours: AlertSync forwards your alert text exactly as written, and you can turn off the quick-action buttons so nothing but your own text appears in the chat. If white-labelled branding is a requirement, a custom build is the honest answer.

Is a hosted relay reliable enough for a paid signals group?

That is the intended use. Alerts fan out to every destination independently, so one failing chat does not block the others, and every alert is logged with its full payload and delivery outcome for you to audit. Paid plans keep those logs 7 to 90 days depending on tier, and our service commitments are published on the SLA page rather than left to a sales conversation.

What if I outgrow AlertSync?

Then you commission the build with much better information — you will know your real alert volume, which features you actually use, and what the standard product does not do for you. Starting hosted costs a few hundred rupees to learn that; starting with a build means specifying it all up front and paying for guesses.
