Fees are as published on each vendor's site. Every Stripe-based tool also pays Stripe's processing.
01Arcalotl
We built thisSubscription billing plus a retention layer for Telegram, Discord and Fluxer. The bot grants access with a single-use invite link, removes lapsed members with a ban so old links stop working, and chases failed renewals in the same chat the member is already reading. One linked member holds one subscription across every platform they are in.
$0/mo plus 2% of each successful payment, on your own Stripe account. Standard Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30) applies on top.
Strengths- No monthly fee and no member cap
- One subscription spans Discord, Fluxer, Telegram, and Stoat
- Failed-payment recovery with a card-update link and a grace period
- Cancel saves matched to the reason the member gives
- Monthly-to-annual upgrade offers
- Removal by ban, so a forwarded invite link does not let a lapsed member back in
- Public storefront for the plans, built from templates
Limits- Stripe only, with no PayPal or crypto
- Shared @ArcalotlBot rather than a bot under your own name
- No affiliate or referral system

03Grouptizer

A free tier at a 10% transaction fee, with paid tiers taking the rate to 3% and then 1%; the monthly cost of each paid tier is on its pricing page. Time-limited passes and coupon codes are paid add-ons on the lower tiers (as of September 2026).

05BotSubscription (formerly TGmembership)
A white-label subscription bot for Telegram with a managed shared bot for Discord roles. It covers renewals, reminders, trials, coupons and multi-currency, and exposes webhooks and a REST API for custom integrations. The tgmembership.com domain now redirects here.
No monthly fee. A revenue share that falls as volume grows; its site states the first EUR 85 of monthly revenue in each cycle is free and that the platform fee reaches 1% at scale (as of September 2026).
Strengths- No monthly fee, revenue share only
- Your own branded Telegram bot
- Telegram and Discord in one tool

- Webhooks and a REST API
Limits- Discord uses a shared bot rather than a white-label one

06Telegram Stars (native)
Telegram's own in-app currency. Members buy Stars through Apple and Google in-app purchase or through PremiumBot, and spend them on digital goods and subscriptions offered by bots. No third-party tool is involved, and checkout never leaves Telegram.
No platform plan to buy. Earnings arrive as Stars and are withdrawn in Toncoin through Fragment. Telegram publishes the current terms on its own site.
Strengths- Native checkout, entirely inside Telegram
- No vendor between you and your members
- No monthly software fee
Limits- Telegram only
- Earnings come out in Toncoin through Fragment rather than into a bank account
