Spent the last couple weeks building something called BotMember.

The whole idea came from noticing that Telegram has tools for paid groups/channels already, but almost nothing good for paid private bots.

Every bot creator I talked to was doing some cursed setup with Stripe webhooks, Telegram IDs, spreadsheets, manual access, etc.

So I just built the thing I felt should already exist.

You connect your bot, make subscription plans, and BotMember handles the payments + access stuff automatically.

Basically like InviteMember, but for 1-on-1 Telegram bots instead of groups.

It’s live now and I’m trying to figure out if this is actually a real pain point for other people too or if I just went too deep into Telegram world lol.

If you build bots:

• how are you handling payments/subscriptions right now?
• what’s the most annoying part?
• anything you’d want from a tool like this?

Would genuinely love feedback, one week free! \[https://botmember.vercel.app\\\](https://botmember.vercel.app)

I’ve been building Telegram bots for a while and the moment I tried to monetize one I realized there’s basically nothing out there for it. InviteMember solves this perfectly but only works for groups, not bots.

I’m thinking of building something that handles this for bots, payments, access control, the whole thing. But before I spend time on it I just want to know if other people actually run into this problem too. Do you build bots? Have you ever wanted to charge for access and just didn’t have a clean way to do it?

hello r/StartupAccelerators

i really like building Telegram Bots, and i want to make money off of them, , but i dont want to do it myself, i want to do it though a platform that takes care of it all for me, low and behold, INVITEMEMBER! i thought i hit the jackpot. but then i understood that its only for paid/unpaid groups and not bots. so i thought, why not do it myself? so here we are.

i havent started buliding yet, but i wanted to ask, do you think theres demand for such a tool? as far as i could find no one has done it acc good

let me know!

P.S for anyone who doesnt know what invitmember is : InviteMember lets creators charge money for access to a private Telegram group/channel without doing the payment and member management manually.
