Pricing
Most subscription bot platforms charge fixed monthly fees - whether you're making money or not. BotSubscription works differently: you only pay when you earn.
There are no monthly subscriptions, no setup fees, and no upfront costs. This makes BotSubscription ideal if you're just starting out: focus on building your community first, and only pay platform fees once the revenue starts coming in.
Free Up to €85/month
Start accepting payments with your Telegram subscription bot or Discord payment bot completely free:
- €0 platform fees on your first €85/month in revenue
- No credit card required
- Core features included from day one
- Both Telegram and Discord supported
Launch your paid Telegram channel or Discord membership server, test everything, and grow at your own pace - without worrying about fees eating into money you haven't made yet.
We encourage testing your setup in Sandbox mode before going live. To truly encourage it, all sandbox and test transactions are completely excluded from billing.
Better Value at Scale
While the free tier makes BotSubscription perfect for getting started, the real savings come as you grow.
Many competitors charge fixed monthly fees ($30-200/month), percentage-based fees (up to 10%), or a combination of both. With BotSubscription's pure revenue-share model and rates that drop as you scale:
- Telegram at €10,000/month - You pay just 1%, saving over 50% compared to typical competitors
- Discord at €15,000/month - You save €300+ per month versus the cheapest major alternative
The more successful your subscription bot becomes, the more you save.
Revenue-Based Pricing
Once you exceed the free tier, platform fees are calculated as a percentage of your revenue. The more you earn, the lower your rate:
| Monthly Revenue | Platform Fee |
|---|---|
| Up to €85 | Free |
| €85 - €200 | 9% |
| €200 - €300 | 7% |
| €300 - €500 | 6% |
| €500 - €800 | 5% |
| €800 - €1,200 | 3% |
| €1,200 - €5,000 | 2% |
| €5,000+ | 1% |
No plan upgrades required. The more you earn, the lower your rate - it happens automatically.
What's Included

- API & webhooks - Build custom integrations

Optional Add-ons
The core BotSubscription package covers everything most Telegram subscription bots and Discord payment bots need. However, some advanced features rely on third-party services or require additional development to maintain - and these come with real costs on our end.
Rather than baking these costs into everyone's platform fee, we offer them as optional add-ons. This keeps base pricing as low as possible: you only pay for premium features if you actually need them. Add-on charges appear on your monthly bill alongside your platform fees.
How Billing Works
- Monthly usage report - Each month, you receive a detailed breakdown of your revenue and fees
- Payment request - The bot sends a payment link for the platform fee
- 3-day payment window - Settle your balance to keep your bot running

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use BotSubscription for both Telegram and Discord?
Yes. One account can manage subscription bots for both platforms with no additional cost.
What currencies are supported?
BotSubscription supports multiple currencies for both member payments and your payouts. Revenue is converted to EUR for billing calculations at current exchange rates.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No. There are no contracts, and you can stop using BotSubscription at any time. You only pay for the revenue you've processed.
What happens if I don't pay my platform fees?
Your bot will be temporarily suspended until the balance is cleared. Once paid, it's reactivated immediately.
