# Pricing & Subscriptions

### Overview

Modr8 is a feature rich Telegram community bot platform with flexible pricing plans to suit all types of users. Read on to find out about pricing criteria and the extensive free tier options we have.

Here's a quick overview of how our pricing works:

* Telegram channels are **free** forever.
* Our pricing is charged on a ***per chat*** basis and is a flat fee per month.
* All features are unlocked & available - there's no hidden features behind paid vs. free plans.
* Chat communities with 100 or less members are **free**
* Chat communities above 100 members will be required to purchase a subscription.
* A paid subscription has unlimited chat members, meaning you will not see your price increase if your community increases from 101 - 200,000 members. Modr8 is a simple flat fee so you can be sure your payments remain the same.

#### Example Pricing Scenarios&#x20;

1. **Bot is added to a Telegram Channel** - You gain access to our channel features for free.
2. **Bot is added to a Telegram Chat with less than 100 members** - You gain access to our chat features for free. Each day we will check your member numbers and auto-subscribe you to our free plan if 100 or less members exist.
3. **Bot is added to a Telegram Chat with more than 100 members** - You can begin a free trial for 3 days to try out the platform. Alternatively if your trial has expired or you do not want to wait, you can purchase a subscription for your chat.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since Modr8 is free for groups of 100 or less, it is often best to try out our platform in a small private group before moving your settings over to your larger community!
{% endhint %}

### What subscription options are available?

Once your chat meets the criteria of needing a paid subscription we offer two types of payment options.

1. One-off Payments - Pay as you go per Month or Annual
2. Ongoing Payments - Subscribe to pay each Month or Annually

We charge slightly more for one-off / pay as you go payments compared to our ongoing subscriptions due to the added flexibility this gives.  Often, we have found customers want to test the bot out for a couple of months where a pay as you go plan works perfect, after that they switch to ongoing subscriptions.

All of our payments are handled by [LemonSqueezy](https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/). They help us to handle sales tax calculations and security for payment processing and subscriptions. You'll see their e-mails when you purchase to provide you with a receipt and downloadable invoice!
