TCamp Pass — Pricing, How It Works & FAQ

The old way

Still doing this by hand?

You post your account number in public.

You check bank transfers one by one.

You match payment screenshots.

You invite members manually.

You track expirations in a spreadsheet.

You remove expired members yourself.

TCamp Pass replaces all of it with one payment button.

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs itself.

Step 01

Create your own bot

Make a bot in BotFather, paste its token into TCamp Pass, then add your own bot to the group as admin. Entry fees land in your bot, never in ours.

Private groups only — no public username, and channels are not supported. Your bot needs rights to create invite links and to restrict members.

Step 02

Set your price

One-time entry or a monthly subscription, priced in Telegram Stars. The price you set is the price the member pays — always.

Step 03

Share one link

Paste it anywhere. Payment issues that member their own invite link — good for one person, for 24 hours. No approval queue, and a leaked link is worthless.

Fake payment screenshots are impossible; payment is verified by Telegram.

Why owners switch

Five reasons, and the first one is free.

01

You keep 100% of what you charge.

The Free plan takes a 0% platform fee — not a trial, not a cap on how much you can earn. If you never upgrade, we never take a Star.

02

Your bank account stays private.

Stop posting your personal account number to strangers. Payments happen inside Telegram, so no transfer details ever leave your hands.

03

Zero manual work.

No transfer checks, no screenshot matching, no manual invites, no expiry spreadsheet. Members join while you sleep.

04

Fraud-proof by design.

Payments are confirmed by Telegram, not by screenshots, and each invite link admits exactly one person. Forged transfer captures do not work here.

05

Fewer drop-offs, no card needed.

No bank-app switching and no waiting for confirmation. Members top up Stars with store balance — funded by local e-wallets, convenience stores or mobile credit — or with TON via Fragment.

Pricing

Free is not a trial. It is the plan.

Selling works in full on Free. Pro does not unlock the ability to sell — it takes over the work you would otherwise do by hand.

Try Free first

Pro splits your price into a 5% service fee and the rest, so Telegram shows the member two invoices that add up to exactly the price you set — the total never changes. The minimum fee of 1 Star and rounding down in your favour apply to Pro only; a 0% fee is exactly zero.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

What does TCamp Pass cost?

Nothing on the Free plan — the platform fee is 0%, so you keep every Star your members pay. Pro charges 5% per transaction and is not a subscription: there is nothing to prepay and no monthly bill. You can move between Free and Pro at any time.

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes, and it does not expire. Selling works in full on Free: you create a gate, set a price, take payments, let members in and handle expiry. What you give up is one gate at a time and the work Pro does for you — automatic win-back messages, revenue statistics, branding, free invites and a public profile page. Free exists so the first sentence about us stays true: we take nothing.

Why would my members see two charges?

Only in a Pro owner's group. On Pro the money goes to two places: the 5% service fee is billed by TCamp Pass and the rest is billed by your own bot, so Telegram shows two invoices — and they add up to exactly the price you set. On a monthly gate both parts renew together, and cancelling either one cancels both. On Free there is a single invoice, because there is no fee to bill.

How do I receive the money?

Entry fees are paid in Telegram Stars directly to your own bot. Telegram holds Stars for up to 21 days after they arrive before you can withdraw them to TON via Fragment — that is Telegram's rule, not ours. TCamp Pass never touches your funds.

What happens when a subscription expires?

Telegram handles renewal and reminders. If the member does not renew they are removed automatically — after three days on Free, immediately on Pro. The grace period is not a limitation so much as a window: the member is still in the room while you invite them to renew.

Which groups can I gate?

Private groups and supergroups. A group with a public username cannot be gated, and channels are not supported. Your own bot must be an admin with permission to create invite links and to restrict members.

Do my members need a credit card?

No. Stars can be bought with Google Play or App Store balance — which tops up with local e-wallets, convenience stores or mobile credit — or via Fragment with TON. See the Stars purchase guide.

What is the profile page?

A public page at tcamp.net/@yourname that lists the gates you have open, with an entry button for each. It opens in any browser, so you can put it in an Instagram or TikTok bio and reach people who have not opened Telegram yet. It is a Pro feature; if you return to Free the page switches off but your address stays reserved for you.

What happens if a paid member leaves the group?

Payment history is kept permanently. A member who paid and left can rejoin free of charge while their access is still valid. Members you removed stay blocked.
