Stop Renting Your Business from Subscord
Subscord is Discord-focused with 0% fees—a legitimate competitor. But they charge annual subscriptions with hard subscriber caps. 50 subscribers? $390/year upfront. No Link in Bio portals. No team payroll. No affiliate system. If you need crypto payments, Subscord wins. For everything else, PayBot does more for less.
PayBot connects to your Stripe account. You own your customers. Zero platform fees. Setup in 60 seconds.

For 50 subscribers, PayBot costs $108/year vs Subscord's $390/year. Same 0% fee, more features, lower cost.
When should I choose Subscord?
Crypto payments. If your audience wants to pay in ETH, SOL, or other tokens, Subscord supports 100+ cryptocurrencies with 1-1.5% fees. PayBot is Stripe-only (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers). If crypto matters, Subscord wins that feature.
What about the annual vs monthly pricing?
Subscord requires annual payment upfront—$390 for 50 subscribers, $650 for 500. PayBot bills monthly: $9/mo for 50 subscribers ($108/year), $89/mo for 500. You can cancel anytime. No upfront commitment, lower annual cost at smaller tiers.
I need team payroll. Does Subscord have it?
No. Subscord doesn't have team payroll, affiliate systems, or Link in Bio portals. If you need to pay moderators automatically or run referrals, PayBot Ultra is your option. Subscord is simpler but lacks these features.
