Subscriby vs Patreon
Live communities, wherever they live, vs. content memberships
Patreon is designed around content: posts, videos, podcasts, exclusive files. Your patrons log into Patreon to consume what you publish. Subscriby is designed around community access: your members pay to be inside your private group or channel, wherever it lives (on Telegram today), where the value is the live conversation, real-time signals and direct interaction, not a static content library.

Patreon යහපත් ලෙස කරන්නේ කුමක්ද
- Patreon has creator discovery built in — fans browse Patreon to find and support creators. If someone is looking for a creator in your niche, you can be found there.
- Content-first features: Patreon excels at gating posts, videos, early access, and exclusive files behind membership tiers. If your value is what you publish, Patreon is purpose-built for it.
- Established trust with fans — many subscribers already have Patreon accounts and are comfortable paying through it, which lowers friction for them.
අපි විශ්වාසය දරන්නේ අවංක සසඳීම්වලටයි. Patreon ඔබට යෝග්ය නම්, අපි එය පැවසෙමු.

Subscriby ජයගන්නේ කොතැනද
Disaster Recovery Program — peace of mind when access is lost overnight
Nobody else recovers you when a channel, a bot or an account becomes unreachable overnight. If the platform restricts your account, your bot or a channel, Subscriby detects it in seconds when a sale or a join fails and keeps probing every bot and channel around the clock, alerts you by email and Telegram, and lets you move to a new account, bot or chat from the dashboard while every paying member is re-admitted automatically — your plans, subscriptions and payments untouched. On Growth, a standby bot, standby channels with a live mirror of every post and automatic failover make the switch one click, or no clicks at all. Fair use: this is a temporary bridge for creators who lost access through no fault of their own and for whom even a short downtime is a real concern. Each kind of recovery is self-service once per 90 days; beyond that our support team reviews the account first, and a confirmed violation of the platform's or Subscriby's terms closes it.
Time-limited passes — scheduled access windows
Sell access to a window you schedule rather than an open-ended membership. A customer buys the Sunday pass on Wednesday, is admitted automatically on Sunday morning and removed that night — no manual invites, however many people bought.
A discount code your members actually type at checkout
Patreon offers Special Offers and free trials on tiers, and its Promo Code feature is built for your external off-platform store rather than Patreon's own checkout. Subscriby coupon codes are redeemed at checkout on a plan that controls Telegram access — pay less, get admitted automatically. Percentage or fixed amount, capped in total and per person, plan-restricted and schedulable.
Patreon has no Telegram integration
If you want paying Patreon patrons inside a private Telegram group, you're copy-pasting invite links manually and checking subscriptions yourself. Subscriby automates every step: unique invite links on subscribe, removal on cancel or expiry, and renewal tracking.
Fee comparison favors Subscriby as you scale
New Patreon creators pay 10% of all revenue plus 2.9%+$0.30 per payment — so at $3,000/month that's $300+ going to Patreon before processor fees. Subscriby Starter ($39/mo + 3%) costs $129/month on that same revenue. Growth ($89/mo + 1%) costs $119/month.
Patreon holds your money
Patreon pays out on a monthly schedule and can withhold funds if disputes arise. Subscriby never touches your revenue — payments go directly to your Stripe, PayPal, or crypto wallet the moment a subscriber pays.
Regional gateways Patreon can't cover
Patreon relies on Stripe, which has limited availability in India, Nigeria, and much of Africa. Razorpay, Paystack, and CeyPay in Subscriby cover these markets properly.
Crypto payments
Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, and Litecoin via CoinPayments. Stablecoins via CeyPay. Patreon is fiat-only.
Access codes for offline or gift subscriptions
Generate codes subscribers redeem without a card — useful for gifting memberships, in-person sales, or markets where cards are uncommon. Patreon has no equivalent.
Two-way member support inside the bot
A member who messages your bot with a question reaches you instead of an error. Threads land in a shared inbox with their plan, join date and payment history beside them, plus assignment, internal notes and saved replies. Your answer arrives in Telegram under your own name rather than as another automated bot message, so the member knows a person read it.
ඔබ… නම් Subscriby තෝරන්න
- Creators who run private Telegram channels or groups where the community IS the product
- Anyone outside the US/EU who needs Razorpay, Paystack, or CeyPay
- Crypto signal providers, traders, or any community wanting crypto payments
- Creators who want revenue to settle directly to their account immediately
- Teams managing multiple Telegram communities
ඔබ… නම් Patreon සමඟ ඉදිරියට යන්න
- Writers, podcasters, and video creators whose value is published content — posts, episodes, early access. Patreon's content delivery tools are built for exactly this, and Subscriby has no equivalent.
- Creators who rely on Patreon's discovery and recommendations to grow their audience.
- Anyone whose audience already has Patreon accounts and expects that payment flow.
