Monetize your Root community
The first subscription and revenue recovery platform built for Root. Native commands, role-gated access, automated dunning, and cancel saves, all inside your Root server.
Root is fully supported as a first-class platform alongside Discord, Stoat, and Fluxer. Same features, same dashboard.
Why Root communities need Arcalotl
Root is built for communities that do more than chat. Its native app ecosystem (raid planners, task trackers, tournament brackets) makes it the most capable community platform for gaming guilds, esports teams, and creative collectives. But capability needs sustainability, and sustainability needs revenue.
Discord has MEE6, Whop, Upgrade.chat, and a dozen other monetization options. Root had none. Arcalotl brings the same subscription infrastructure to Root: paid roles, automated dunning, cancel saves, and term optimization. All native to the platform.
Root's integrated apps are powerful on their own. Combined with Arcalotl's monetization, they become a complete community business toolkit. Gate access to premium apps, charge for exclusive event coordination, or offer paid tiers with different levels of app access.
Full feature set on Root
Native commands
Members subscribe with commands directly in your Root server. No external pages, no redirects. The entire purchase flow happens inside Root via Stripe Checkout.
Role-gated access
Map subscription plans to Root roles. When a member subscribes, they get the role instantly. When they cancel or lapse, Arcalotl revokes the role. Multiple tiers in one server.
Automated revenue recovery
When a payment fails, Arcalotl sends DM sequences prompting the member to update their card. Fallback channels for closed DMs. Automatic role restoration on recovery.
Cancel save offers
When a member tries to cancel, Arcalotl collects the reason and presents a tailored offer: a discount, a pause, or a downgrade. Retain 30-40% of members who would otherwise leave.
Term optimization
Identify engaged monthly subscribers and prompt them to switch to annual billing at a discount. Lock in revenue, reduce churn, increase lifetime value.
Revenue analytics
Track MRR, subscriber count, recovery rate, save rate, and churn in real time from your Arcalotl dashboard. Same analytics whether your community is on Root, Discord, Stoat, or all three.
Getting started on Root
Same commands work on Discord, Stoat, Fluxer, and Root. One setup, every platform.
Pricing
Arcalotl costs the same on Root as on Discord: $0/mo with a 2% transaction fee and 5% fee on recovered revenue. No Root-specific pricing, no platform surcharge.

Is Arcalotl the only monetization tool for Root?
Yes. As of 2026, Arcalotl is the first and only subscription management platform with native Root integration. Root's app ecosystem is growing, but no other payment or subscription tool has launched on it yet.
Does Arcalotl work the same on Root as on Discord?
Yes. The same subscription plans, retention flows, and analytics work across all platforms. You configure once and Arcalotl adapts to each platform's API. Commands, DMs, role management, and rich messages all work natively on Root.
What is Root?
Root (rootapp.com) is a community platform built for action, not just chat. It combines text, voice, and video with native integrated apps like raid planners, task trackers, and tournament brackets. Root raised $9M in seed funding and targets gaming communities, creative collectives, and teams that need more than messaging.
Does Arcalotl integrate with Root's native apps?
Arcalotl runs alongside Root's native app ecosystem. Your members can use Root's built-in apps for coordination and Arcalotl for monetization. Subscription roles gate access to both channels and app features, so premium members can get exclusive access to specific apps or app channels.
Can I run the same subscriptions on Discord and Root?
Yes. Arcalotl's multi-platform architecture lets you manage one set of subscription plans across Discord, Root, Stoat, and Fluxer. Members on any platform subscribe, get roles, and are covered by the same dunning, cancel save, and term optimization flows.
What payment methods are supported on Root?
Arcalotl uses Stripe for all payment processing across every platform. Members can pay with credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Stripe Checkout.
The only monetization tool for Root
Three commands. Zero monthly fees. Works on Root, Discord, Stoat, and Fluxer.
