Run a crypto Telegram group for more than a week and you know the pattern. Every few minutes someone asks "wen BTC", "price of TON?", "is SOL up?". The chat fills with price checks and the real conversation drowns.

The fix is a good crypto price bot. The right one answers instantly, shows a chart, and keeps a live ticker pinned so members glance instead of asking. Here is what to look for, and the free bot we recommend.

What makes a good crypto group bot

  • Instant replies to a plain ticker. Someone types btc, the price comes back. No commands to memorize.
  • A chart, not just a number. A price alone does not tell you the trend.
  • Several coins in one reply, so three questions do not become three messages.
  • A pinned live ticker that refreshes on the same message instead of flooding the chat.
  • Conversions and gas, because those are the next two questions people ask.
  • No wallet access. A price bot should never ask for funds or keys.
  • Free, with no ads.

Sora: our pick for crypto groups

Sora is a free crypto price and portfolio bot for Telegram, and it covers every one of those points.

Prices with a chart, instantly

Type a ticker and Sora replies with a price card: the current price, the 24h change, and a 24h chart so you can see the trend at a glance. Ask for several coins at once and it returns them all in a single reply with their rank, price, and daily change.

A single coin returns a chart. Several tickers in one message return one clean reply.

A live ticker pinned to the group

This is the feature that actually stops the spam. Run /pin btc eth sol and Sora pins a price block to the top of your group. It refreshes itself every 60 seconds on the same pinned message, so the prices are always current and the chat never fills with new posts. Members glance at the pin instead of asking.

Stop it any time with /unpin. Sora pins the message itself if it has admin rights; otherwise you long-press and tap Pin once.

Conversions and gas

The two follow-up questions in every crypto group, answered in the chat. Ask 100 gram to btc and Sora converts it. Ask gas and it returns the current Ethereum gas in gwei plus the rough dollar cost of a transfer.

Conversions and live gas, without leaving the conversation.

Watchlists and a private portfolio

Members can track up to 10 coins with /watch btc eth sol and pull the whole list any time. For holdings, the portfolio works in a direct message only, so nobody's positions end up in the group. Add at the current price, at a fixed price, or by dollar value, then check profit and loss with /portfolio.

A watchlist that follows you across chats, and a portfolio that stays in your DMs.

Inline mode

Type @SoraCryptoBot btc in any chat, even one Sora is not a member of, and drop the price straight into the conversation.

How to set it up in your group

  1. Open Sora and start the bot.
  2. Add @SoraCryptoBot to your group.
  3. Send btc to confirm it replies.
  4. Run /pin btc eth sol and pin the ticker so prices stay at the top.
  5. Tell members about inline mode (@SoraCryptoBot btc) for quick checks anywhere.

The honest summary

Plenty of bots return a price. What separates a good group bot is the pinned live ticker that updates itself, a chart with the number, and multi-coin replies that keep the chat quiet. Sora does all three, it is free, and it has no ads.
