The InviteMember alternative built for flat, predictable pricing.
If you sell paid access to a Telegram channel and you're tired of paying more as you grow, PaidJoin does the same job — Stripe checkout, automatic invites, automatic removal of lapsed members, coupons and broadcasts — for a flat $19/month with 0% taken from your sales.
Why creators look for an alternative
Tools like InviteMember are a popular way to charge for a Telegram group. But as your community grows, two things tend to bite:
- Pricing that scales with you — per-member tiers or a percentage of every sale mean your bill climbs exactly when you succeed.
- Limits — member caps or feature gates that force an upgrade right as things take off.
PaidJoin is built the opposite way: one flat price, no caps, and your money goes straight to you.

Everything you need to run a paid channel
- One checkout link — members pay by card on Stripe's secure page.
- Instant auto-invite — a personal, single-use link lands seconds after they pay.
- Automatic removal — when a subscription lapses, the member is removed after a grace period — no manual policing.
- Coupons & win-back — discounts for launches and lapsed members.
- Broadcasts & access codes — message all members, or hand out codes for off-Stripe payments.
Your money, your members
Payments go directly to your own Stripe account — PaidJoin never holds, touches, or routes your funds. Refunds and disputes stay between you and your customer. You own the relationship, always.
Switching takes minutes
Connect your channel, add the bot as admin, link your Stripe, and share one link. Announce it to your members with a deadline, remove non-payers once, and from then on everything is automatic. Full steps are in the migration guide.

Yes. The Starter tier is free with a 2% fee per sale (via Stripe Connect), no monthly charge. Pro is a flat $19/mo with 0% per sale.
How long does it take to move my community over?
Minutes to set up. You keep your existing members; the bot only removes people once their access actually lapses.
