Subscriby

What Subscriby is

Subscriby is a subscription and membership platform for people who run a paid community inside a chat app. Today that app is Telegram. The site says it works with Telegram now, with Discord next and Slack, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and 7 more on the roadmap. The reader it is aimed at is a creator, a trader, a coach or a small team that already has an audience in a private channel and wants payments, access and removal handled without doing it by hand. The company describes itself as an "Agent Native Platform" built so AI agents can run it. A footer line says the operating company is registered in Delaware, USA.

What you build and how

You do not build a website with Subscriby. You build a paid membership around a chat group. The homepage says the platform handles "the entire subscriber lifecycle", from payments to instant invites and automatic removals. In the comparison page's words: "Subscriby automates the entire lifecycle: unique invite links on subscribe, removal on cancel or expiry." Setup is described as connecting the bot and creating subscription plans "in under 2 minutes", with no coding.

Plans and passes. You create subscription plans, and the plan card lists Free Subscription Plans among its features. Time-limited passes are a distinct product: you sell access to something that happens, "a match night, a market open, a live class". The homepage walks through a cooking class pass that runs from 10:00 to 13:00. The buyer pays whenever they like, gets a reminder by Telegram message and calendar alert 1 hour before, is let in when the window opens, and everyone is removed when it closes. A season pass bundles 6 events into 1 payment, each on its own schedule.

Payments. Subscriby says it supports 8 payment gateways, and Stripe is one of them, for both recurring and one-time payments. Its comparison page also lists Bitcoin, ETH, USDT and USDC support and native Telegram Stars. Coupon codes can be a percentage or a fixed amount, with total and per-subscriber caps, a minimum spend, a plan restriction and a scheduled window, and the comparison page says a code can apply to the first payment only.

Access control. Members are let into every channel their plan covers the moment they pay, and the homepage says every member's access is re-verified once a day. Access codes can be generated in bulk and redeemed without a card, which the comparison page suggests for gifting memberships, institutional enrollment or markets with low card use.

Your public page. Subscriby does not need a website. The comparison page says your subscription portal is hosted at your Subscriby handle and ready to share, with no domain or WordPress install. The plan features include custom public portal handles and white-labeled bots.

Dashboard. A dashboard lets you manage customers, subscriptions and payments with "deep insights at a glance".

Disaster recovery. Telegram can restrict an account, bot or channel. The comparison page says Subscriby detects the failure "in seconds" when a sale or join fails, keeps probing every bot and channel around the clock, alerts you by email and Telegram, and lets you move to a new account, bot or chat from the dashboard while paying members are re-admitted automatically. On the Growth plan, a standby bot and standby channels with a live mirror of every post and automatic failover make the switch 1 click or no clicks. The company announced a Disaster Recovery Program in a post dated September 7, 2026.

API, agents and automation. The homepage lists a full REST API, an MCP server for AI agents, a connectors SDK, webhooks and events, and Zapier and n8n. The comparison page says the MCP server has 161 tools. The agent pitch is specific: you can ask Claude to "launch a plan, price a season pass, give Priya one more week, pull this month's numbers". The connector SDK, manifest and conformance kit are public. The SDK is the package subscriby/connector-sdk, licensed MIT, and it requires PHP 8.5+ and is hosted on GitHub. A post dated September 19, 2026 announces Subscriby 5.0 and calls it the company's biggest architectural redesign, built around connectors.

What the pages say about plans and limits

The comparison page says you can "start free with 3 projects" and pay no monthly fee until you upgrade. The homepage says that on the Free plan the company only makes money when you do, and it advertises a 1% transaction fee. The comparison page puts the Starter plan at $39 a month plus a 3% fee, and the Growth plan at a 1% fee, with your gateway's own processing fee applying on any plan. On the plan card shown before Growth, time-limited passes are an add-on at $19 a month or $190 a year, and coupon codes are an add-on at $5 a month or $50 a year. The homepage also offers a 7-day free try. The company's pages do not state the Growth plan's monthly price.

The same comparison page claims Memberful's Standard plan is $49 a month plus a 4.9% transaction fee plus Stripe processing of 2.9% and $0.30. That is Subscriby's statement about a competitor, not a figure from Memberful. It also states that Memberful has no Telegram integration, supports Stripe only, and offers a WordPress plugin that Subscriby does not have.

Support is described as AI support available 24/7, with the team saying "We are a small team and we care deeply about our users" and inviting you to contact them if the AI cannot solve an issue. The pages name no compliance certification, no hosting region and no uptime commitment.

Who it suits and who it does not

Subscriby suits a creator whose audience already lives in Telegram, who sells a channel, a signal group, a class or an event pass, and who is tired of adding and removing people by hand. The free plan with 3 projects makes it cheap to test, and time-limited passes and season passes cover event-style selling that a plain monthly plan does not. A developer or an AI-agent workflow can drive everything through the API or the MCP server.

It is narrower than a general membership site builder. Telegram is the only connector live today, so a community that must be on Discord, Slack or WhatsApp has to wait for those connectors. There is no course player, lesson progress or page builder described, and if you want a branded website with member content you would need another tool, and the comparison page lists no WordPress integration. The platform depends on Telegram's own rules, which is why the company built disaster recovery, but it is a dependency you take on.
