Tribute vs InviteMember
For a creator starting a paid channel with modest sales, Tribute (@tribute) is the simpler choice: there is no monthly fee, it keeps a flat 10% of each payment, and followers can pay by card from any country or in USDT, BTC or TON. InviteMember (@InviteMemberBot) charges a plan instead, from $19 a month for up to $500 in sales, plus the fee of the Stripe or PayPal account you connect, and the money lands in that account rather than arriving in euros twice a month. Once sales pass about $190 a month the plan costs less than 10%, so InviteMember is the pick for a channel that already earns, sells through Stripe or also needs Discord roles.
