MemberPass vs SimpleSub
A free, basic Telegram bot vs. a full subscription platform
SimpleSub is positioned as the only free Telegram subscription bot. It uses Telegram's internal payment system, automates removal on expiry, and offers basic stats and customizable bot messages. That's the entire feature set. MemberPass is a full subscription platform: 9 payment gateways, multi-tier plans, access codes, public REST API, 71 webhook events, official Zapier and n8n integrations, MCP server, team RBAC, and a web dashboard. If your needs are minimal and Telegram-internal payments work in your country, SimpleSub costs nothing. If you need anything beyond that, MemberPass is the deeper option.

Lo que SimpleSub hace bien
- 100% free with no platform fee or transaction fee — at low revenue, that's hard to beat.
- SimpleSub sets up entirely inside Telegram, with no external dashboard or signup flow.
- A minimalist feature set means less to learn for creators who only need basic time-limited access control.
- If your country is well-served by Telegram's internal payment provider, the integration is one less moving part to manage.
- Project pause/stop with one click — useful for short-run campaigns or seasonal access.

Donde MemberPass gana
Professional web dashboard
MemberPass ships with a full web dashboard for managing projects, subscribers, plans, payments, access codes, and team members. SimpleSub runs entirely inside Telegram with no admin UI — fine for tiny operations, limiting once you scale.
9 payment gateways vs Telegram-internal only
MemberPass supports Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paystack, Skrill, CoinPayments, CeyPay, and Telegram Stars. SimpleSub uses only Telegram's internal payment system, which depends entirely on which payment providers Telegram has enabled in your country.
Regional gateways and crypto for global audiences
Razorpay (India), Paystack (Africa), CeyPay (Sri Lanka), plus BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC via CoinPayments. SimpleSub does not support any of these — your audience is locked to whatever providers Telegram has enabled in their country.
Multi-tier plans and multi-resource access
Build silver/gold/founder tiers, each granting access to different combinations of Telegram channels and groups. SimpleSub supports time-limited subscriptions only, with no tier or multi-resource concept.
Access codes for offline and gift subscriptions
Generate single-use or batch access codes subscribers redeem without a card — useful for gifting, in-person sales, and promos. SimpleSub does not have this.
Public REST API, 71 webhook events, Zapier, n8n, MCP
MemberPass has a documented public REST API, 71 webhook events, an official Zapier app, n8n community node, and an MCP server with 42 tools. SimpleSub has no API, webhooks, or integrations.
Team RBAC with 35 fine-grained permissions
On the Growth plan, you can invite community managers, billing admins, and support staff with specific permissions. SimpleSub has no concept of team access or roles.
