With LaunchPass
Destination charges—payments go to LaunchPass first, then they pay you out. You never directly own the customer in Stripe.
- Split focus: Discord, Telegram, Slack. Your Discord experience suffers because they're building for everyone.
- $29/month + 3.5% of revenue. On $10k/month, that's $379/month gone. $4,548/year.
- Your subscribers are THEIR customers. Can't export. Can't migrate. Locked in.
- External landing pages mean members leave Discord to subscribe. Friction = lost conversions.
- Need a landing page? You're building in their page builder, not focusing on your community.
- Want to leave? Email 500 members begging them to resubscribe somewhere else. Most won't.
With PayBot
You connect YOUR Stripe account via OAuth. All customers, payments, and data are in YOUR Stripe dashboard. Switch services anytime—take everything with you.
- 100% Discord focused. Every feature built specifically for Discord communities.
- 0% platform fee. That $379/month stays in YOUR pocket.
- YOUR Stripe account = YOUR customers. Export anytime. Leave anytime. They're yours.
- Native Discord: /subscription command. Members never leave Discord to pay.
- Link in Bio portals: 8 beautiful themes. Better than any landing page builder.
- Team payroll: pay your mods automatically (Ultra). LaunchPass can't do this.
- 60-second setup. /setup → Connect Stripe → Add tier → Done.

When LaunchPass Might Be Better
We'll be honest. Choose LaunchPass if:
- You need Telegram or Slack integration (PayBot is pure Discord)
- You're okay with split platform focus and the trade-offs that brings
But if you want to own your customers, pay zero platform fees, and set up in 60 seconds—PayBot is the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does "Discord-only" matter?
Focus. LaunchPass builds features for Discord, Telegram, AND Slack. Their team is split three ways. PayBot is 100% Discord—every feature, every update, every improvement is built specifically for Discord communities. You get a better product because we're not distracted.
What happens to my subscribers if I leave LaunchPass?
You lose them. LaunchPass owns the customer relationship. You'd email every member asking them to resubscribe elsewhere. Maybe 20% do. With PayBot, subscribers are in YOUR Stripe—switch platforms and they come with you.
How much do I actually save vs LaunchPass?
LaunchPass charges $29/month + 3.5% of revenue. On $10,000/month, that's $379 gone every month—$4,548/year. PayBot charges 0%. You only pay Stripe's processing (2.9% + 30¢), which you'd pay on LaunchPass anyway.
What about their landing page builder?
PayBot has Link in Bio portals—8 professionally designed themes, mobile-optimized, shareable anywhere. It's better than a landing page builder because it's built specifically for Discord creators, not generic SaaS pages.
I need Telegram. Should I use LaunchPass?
If Telegram is essential, yes—PayBot is Discord-only. But if Discord is your primary platform and Telegram is "nice to have," consider whether split focus is worth the trade-off. You're paying for features you might not need.
