Which Telegram bot works best for managing paid memberships?

I want to create a premium group on Telegram and need help choosing the right membership management bot. There are so many options out there and I’m not sure which one actually delivers good results.

I’ve been researching different bots like:

  • membershipgate
  • telebot premium
  • groupguard pro
  • accessbot

Has anyone here used any of these bots for their paid communities? I’m looking for something reliable that can handle payments and member access without too much hassle. What features should I focus on when making this decision? Any recommendations or bots I should avoid would be really helpful.

I’ve run a paid Telegram community for 8 months and faced this same choice. Tested three different bots and ended up with ChatFuel plus a custom webhook - wasn’t even on your list. The bots you mentioned all had payment processing delays or member verification bugs that were a pain to deal with. You need automatic payment verification, seamless member removal when subs expire, and solid support when stuff breaks. Learned the hard way that cheap options mean way more manual fixes. Whatever you pick, make sure the docs are decent and test their trial thoroughly before paying.

membershipgate is solid! I’ve been using it and no issues with payments. customer support is quick too. those super cheap ones? nah, just don’t go there. you’ll thank me later.

I’ve been running a paid Telegram community for 18 months and faced this same choice. Tried three different bots before settling on a custom solution with PaymentGuard - not well-known but works great. The popular options you mentioned? They crash during payment processing, especially when handling multiple transactions at once. Focus on automated payment verification that actually works consistently. My first bot completely failed during a promo period - wouldn’t grant access to paying members. Total nightmare for customer service. Also grab something with solid refund handling and multiple payment processor support. Some bots trap you with one gateway, which sucks when you want to switch later.
