InviteMember is the established Telegram membership bot and a solid product. The main difference is the money: its entry tiers take a percentage of your sales, and you only remove that cut on higher-priced plans. MemberBot never takes a percentage on any plan — you pay a flat monthly fee and keep 100%.
MemberBot also ships more payment options out of the box — nine rails including M-Pesa, Telegram Stars and crypto with multi-currency and live FX — and will migrate your existing members for you so nobody loses their remaining days. If you're on InviteMember today, everyone keeps their time when you switch.
Whop is a marketplace and membership platform spanning Discord, Telegram and web apps — great for discovery. The trade-off is that it's their platform and it takes a per-transaction fee on your sales. With MemberBot your members pay you directly through your own connected accounts, it's your own white-labelled bot, and there's no per-sale cut — just a predictable flat price.
If marketplace discovery is your priority, Whop has reach. If keeping 100% of revenue on your own bot with the widest set of local payment methods matters more, MemberBot is the better fit for Telegram.
Chatmember is a closer match — a flat-fee subscription bot for Telegram and Discord. MemberBot's edge is breadth of payments (nine rails including M-Pesa and other local methods, multi-currency with live FX), plus growth tooling built in: a loyalty program, an optional AI support & re-engagement assistant, coupons, access codes, and running multiple bots from one workspace. For creators outside the US/EU especially, the payment coverage is often the deciding factor.
For Telegram creators, MemberBot: a flat monthly fee with no revenue cut on any plan, nine payment rails including M-Pesa, Telegram Stars and crypto, your own white-labelled bot, and done-for-you member migration.
No. Marketplaces such as Whop take a percentage of every transaction. MemberBot charges only a flat monthly subscription — members pay you directly through your own accounts and you keep 100%.
Yes. Your members keep their remaining days. Bring them across yourself with bulk access codes, or send us your export and our team migrates everyone for you.
MemberBot — nine rails with multi-currency and live FX, a strong fit for creators in Africa, Latin America, India and other emerging markets.
