How Telegram Paywall Fees Really Work
When managing a paid subscription channel on Telegram, your net earnings depend heavily on the software middleware you use to automate invitations and access control.
Legacy solutions charge a combination of a fixed recurring monthly software subscription (typically $49 to $199 per month) plus a percentage cut on every transaction, often reaching 10%. As your channel grows from 100 members to 1,000 members, these percentage fees compound into tens of thousands of dollars each year.
ChanPay removes all platform cuts. By utilizing Telegram Stars and direct TON wallet transfers, payments flow straight from the subscriber into your account. No middleman software takes 10% of your hard-earned subscription income.
