A Whop alternative for Telegram-first creators.
Whop is a solid marketplace — but it takes a percentage of every sale, and that adds up fast on a recurring community. If yours lives on Telegram, PaidJoin sells access natively for a flat $19/month with 0% per sale, with the money going straight to your own Stripe.
The math creators care about
A percentage cut is invisible until you do the arithmetic. On a $159/month community with a few hundred members, a few percent of every sale is real money leaving every single month — forever. A flat $19/mo doesn't move whether you have 50 members or 5,000.

Native to Telegram, not bolted on
PaidJoin only does one thing: paid access to Telegram channels and groups, done properly. Members pay by card, get a personal single-use invite the second they pay, and are removed automatically when their subscription lapses. Coupons, broadcasts, and access codes are built in.
Keep your members, keep your margins
Switching is painless — nothing changes for your members, and your money lands in your own Stripe. Same experience for them, more of the revenue for you.

Is PaidJoin really 0% per sale?
On the $19/mo Pro plan, yes — your subscription to us is the only thing we charge. The free Starter tier is 2% per sale with no monthly.
Will switching disrupt my members?
No. They keep their access; you just move new payments to PaidJoin and remove non-payers once. See the migration guide.
Does my money go through PaidJoin?
No — payments go directly to your own Stripe account. We never hold your funds.
