What are subscriptions?
Subscriptions are paid access to a private Telegram channel or group. You pay from your wallet balance, the bot lets you into the chat, and it renews on a fixed schedule until you cancel.
Both sides live in the app: you can subscribe to someone’s channel, and you can charge for your own.
As a subscriber
You open the link the owner shared, pick a plan, and pay from your balance. Your request to join the chat is approved automatically as soon as the payment goes through.
At the end of each period the app charges you again from your balance and your access continues. Turn auto-renew off and access simply runs out at the end of the period you already paid for.
Everything you’re subscribed to lives under More → Subscriptions.
As an owner
You add the bot as an admin of your private channel or group, publish one or more plans, and share your subscribe link. The app handles the rest: charging members, letting them in, and removing them when they stop paying.
Money from each payment is credited to your wallet instantly — there’s no separate channel balance to withdraw from.
What a plan defines
- A name — what subscribers see, like “Monthly pass”.
- The asset and the price per period.
- The billing period — weekly or monthly.
Prices are per plan, and a channel can offer several plans side by side.
Access is managed by the bot
There’s no password and no shared invite to pass around. Access runs on Telegram join requests: the bot approves people with a live subscription and declines everyone else. When a subscription ends, the member is removed from the chat and can re-join later by subscribing again.
