Telezoid Paid Subscription Bot — Features & Pricing (2026)

Telezoid builds paid-subscription Telegram bots as a custom-development service — from $499 USD for the core recurring-billing bot, or $799+ for AI-powered subscription assistants. Every subscription bot we ship includes: recurring payments (Stripe, Razorpay, Telegram Stars, crypto, or your regional processor), gated content / channel access, tiered plans, trial periods, dunning for failed payments, an admin dashboard, and full source-code handover. This page covers exactly what's included, how the flow works for your users, and what different subscription models cost.

What's included in every Telezoid subscription bot

Payment & billing

• Recurring charges via Stripe (global), Razorpay (India), Telegram Stars (in-app digital goods), or YooKassa / Chapa / Click / Halyk / Kaspi for regional markets.
• Trial periods — free trial (3–14 days) with automatic conversion, or free-tier-with-upgrade prompts.
• Tiered plans — Bronze / Silver / Gold or your own naming. Different feature access per tier.
• Promo codes & discounts — one-time codes, percentage off, first-N-users free.
• Upgrade / downgrade / cancel handled inline in Telegram, with prorated charges where appropriate.
• Failed-payment dunning — automatic retries, user notifications, grace period before access is revoked.
• Refunds — one-click refund from admin dashboard, syncs back through the payment processor.

Access control & content gating

• Private-channel gating — bot auto-invites paying members, kicks lapsed members. Works with Telegram channels or supergroups.
• Tier-gated commands — different bot capabilities unlock at different subscription tiers.
• Content dripping — release material on a schedule (course modules, exclusive drops).
• Member-only Mini App — optional web app inside Telegram that only paying members can open.
• Referral system — reward members for bringing paying friends (percentage discount, free month, tier upgrade).

Admin dashboard (web)

• Live member list with subscription status, tier, billing history.
• Revenue metrics (MRR, ARR, churn, LTV, ARPU) — the numbers you actually want to see.
• Broadcast to all members / specific tiers / lapsed members with one click.
• Content calendar for scheduled drops.
• Manual refund / plan change / access override.
• Access logs and audit trail.

AI & automation add-ons

• AI concierge — GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini answering member questions from your knowledge base (add $200–$500).
• Voice replies — edge-tts or ElevenLabs, delivered as native Telegram voice notes.
• Personalized drips — bot adapts content to member behavior (opened / not opened, clicked / not clicked).
• Auto-onboarding — new members go through a guided setup flow, no human touch needed.

User flow — what a subscriber actually experiences

1. User discovers your bot (link, ad, referral) and hits /start.
2. Bot greets, explains tiers, shows a free trial offer (optional).
3. User picks a plan → inline keyboard payment (Stars) or link to Stripe/Razorpay checkout.
4. On successful charge, bot instantly grants access — invites to gated channel(s), unlocks commands, sends welcome sequence.
5. Recurring charges happen silently on the anniversary. On success, a low-key receipt goes to the user. On failure, the dunning sequence starts.
6. User can manage plan (upgrade / downgrade / pause / cancel / view invoices) from inside the bot at any time.
7. You watch the whole thing from the admin dashboard.

Best-fit use cases for a paid-subscription Telegram bot

• Trading & signal channels — sell access to a private tips channel with proper billing, not "PayPal me monthly".
• Learning & coaching — courses, cohorts, exam prep, language learning. Content-dripping is ideal for course structures.
• Community & masterminds — gated peer group with member-only channel + weekly AMA + resource library.
• Adult / creator content — subscription content behind bot-gated access (must comply with Telegram's terms).
• Professional tools — HR templates, legal templates, marketing swipe files delivered on demand.
• Sports betting insights / fantasy tips — where local licensing allows.
• AI concierge / personal assistant — recurring access to a personalized AI helper (writing, translation, research).

FAQs

Is this a Telezoid SaaS product or a custom build?

Custom build. Every subscription bot is written for your specific use case, delivered with full source code you own. We're not selling a shared platform — you get a standalone product that you can operate independently.

Which payment processors do you support?

Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal (limited recurring), Telegram Stars, YooKassa, Chapa (Ethiopia), Click / Payme (Uzbekistan), Kaspi / Halyk (Kazakhstan), USDT (TRC-20) and TON for crypto. If you have a regional processor we haven't integrated yet, we can add it — usually 3–5 extra days.

Can subscribers pay in cryptocurrency?

Yes — USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20) and TON are both supported with automatic subscription-renewal logic. Users get a wallet address; bot watches for incoming transactions and grants access on confirmation.

What happens if I cancel my payment processor account?

You have full source code, so you can point the bot at a new processor by swapping the API credentials + minor code adjustment. We can also do the swap for you under a maintenance plan.

Do you handle taxes / VAT?

The bot captures the information needed (billing country, VAT ID) and passes it to your payment processor. Actual tax collection and reporting is the processor's job (Stripe Tax, Razorpay GST) — we integrate it, but the compliance responsibility stays with the business.
