# AdminHub

> AdminHub is a Telegram-native commerce and AI platform. Each creator owns a Telegram bot with a Mini App storefront and accepts payments in Telegram Stars or fiat cards (18 currencies, including USD, EUR, UAH, GBP, BRL, INR, IDR and TRY). AdminHub takes 0% of creator GMV — the platform monetizes on Pro subscriptions to creators, not customer transactions. Thirteen tools run on top of one bot: e-commerce, services with bookings, LMS courses, inline classifieds, channel monetization, AI content factory, AI customer support, channel cross-promotion, anonymous audience questions, a rich post editor, channel protection, channel mirroring to Bluesky and Mastodon, and an MCP server for AI agents. Nine interface languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Hindi, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic.

## Core tools

- [Home](https://adminhub.tools/): Platform overview, all thirteen tools, pricing
- [Shop](https://adminhub.tools/shop/): Telegram storefront — physical goods, digital downloads, channel subscriptions, paywall posts, donations. Digital items take Stars; physical goods take card payments. Shipping integrations: Nova Poshta (Ukraine), RajaOngkir (Indonesia), generic carriers elsewhere
- [Services](https://adminhub.tools/services/): Bookings inside Telegram — real-time calendar, slot picker in a Mini App, Stars or card deposits, automated reminders, no-show protection, callback requests
- [LMS](https://adminhub.tools/lms/): Telegram-native courses — lessons in the bot DM, sequential unlocking driven by students marking lessons done, Stars checkout, AI tutor (RAG over course materials), content protection via Telegram protocol, hybrid live and recorded delivery. No quizzes or certificates, and no owner-facing student progress roster
- [Listings](https://adminhub.tools/listings/): Inline car classifieds — passenger, motorcycles, commercial vehicles — shared via Telegram's inline mode from any chat, no online payment required, lead capture via the bot. Real estate and general classifieds are in the plans, not yet live
- [Channel](https://adminhub.tools/channel/): Monetize a Telegram channel — paid access and subscriptions, paywalled posts, and donations, including fundraising goals with a target, a running total and your own button label. Telegram Stars only — cards are not permitted for digital goods under Telegram policy — recurring or one-off
- [Content](https://adminhub.tools/content/): AI content factory — RSS, Telegram channels, and URLs as sources, AI rewrite into your tone of voice, AI image generation, queue and publish to your channels
- [Content factory for news channels](https://adminhub.tools/content/news-channels/): Settings for fast-moving news channels and aggregators — 15-minute check interval, up to 10 items a check, neutral tone, auto-publish up to 20 posts/day
- [Content factory for niche channels](https://adminhub.tools/content/niche-channels/): Settings for niche and topic channels — once-a-day check interval, expert tone, every draft routed to a moderation queue instead of auto-publish
- [Content factory for brand channels](https://adminhub.tools/content/brand-channels/): Settings for brand channels — business tone plus a custom brand-voice instruction, moderation queue for every draft, no auto-publish
- [Content factory for multilingual channels](https://adminhub.tools/content/multilingual/): Settings for republishing one source into a second language — translation on, hourly check interval, auto-publish up to 20 posts/day
- [AI Support](https://adminhub.tools/ai-support/): AI customer support agent for bots and Telegram Business connections — runs over your knowledge base, answers in 100+ languages, escalates hard cases to humans, logs unanswered questions for KB top-up
- [Cross-promo](https://adminhub.tools/cross-promo/): Channel cross-promotion — list your channel, find partners by category in a catalog sorted by audience size, swap promo posts through deals with a status and a tracked link, and grow subscribers without ad spend. Proposals go only to channels listed in the catalog; a tracked exchange link covers partners outside it. Free: 3 proposals a month; Pro: no limit
- [Anonymous questions](https://adminhub.tools/anonymous-questions/): Anonymous audience questions for a channel — a personal link collects questions without revealing senders, the admin answers as channel posts, the asker gets a link to the answer; rate limits and one-tap blocking without identity reveal. Free on every plan
- [Editor](https://adminhub.tools/editor/): Rich post editor for Telegram channels — headings, tables, lists, quotes, media albums, inline buttons, live preview, scheduled and recurring posts, auto-delete
- [Cross-posting](https://adminhub.tools/crosspost/): Channel mirroring from Telegram to Bluesky and Mastodon — new channel posts are mirrored automatically with photos (up to four per post) and a link back to the original; long posts are truncated at a sentence boundary or turned into an AI teaser; video, paid media and paywall posts are not mirrored. One external account on Free, up to five on Pro
- [Protection](https://adminhub.tools/protection/): Channel and comment protection — a captcha at the join gate, known-spammer screening, anti-raid throttling, and automatic comment filters
- [MCP server](https://adminhub.tools/mcp/): Give an AI agent MCP access to a Telegram channel — fourteen tools covering the workspace, channels, subscribers and posts (list, read, create, edit, publish, delete, retry), plus attaching one image to a post at a time. Connect by server address with a Telegram sign-in (claude.ai, ChatGPT) or a key in a header (Claude Code, Cursor). Posts go out through the channel owner's own bot — never a shared AdminHub bot, never a personal Telegram account. Free: one connection and 30 posts created via MCP a month; Pro: no limit

## Free tools (no account, no sign-up)

- [Telegram Stars to USD: how much your Stars are worth](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-stars-calculator/): Free calculator built only on figures Telegram publishes: the App Store / Play Store pack price with Telegram's own breakdown (Apple/Google 30%, Telegram administrative costs — the Star Pricing table on core.telegram.org/bots/payments-stars, 11 packs, USD, 0% VAT), Telegram's sell rate ($14.10 per 1,000 Stars, client config stars_usd_sell_rate_x1000 = 1410) and the creator payout ($0.013 per Star, developer terms section 6.2.4 and stars_usd_withdraw_rate_x1000 = 1300; the spread between Telegram's two rates is 7.8%), conversion into 13 other currencies from a dated snapshot refreshed weekly (ExchangeRate-API, credited on the page), plus the 1,000-Star withdrawal floor and the 21-day rolling hold. Nine languages
- [Telegram link generator: t.me and tg:// links](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-link-generator/): Free builder for ten Telegram link formats — username, bot deep link with a start payload, add-to-group, Mini App, share, phone, posts in public and private channels, the t.me/s preview page of a public channel, and the embed code for a post as Telegram's widget page hands it out — each link shown as both the t.me web link and its tg:// equivalent, with a QR code (web link, saved as PNG), with percent-encoding handled and the Bot API's -100 chat-id prefix stripped. Says plainly that invite links to private chats cannot be generated outside Telegram, and why. Nine languages
- [Telegram font generator: 17 styles you can paste](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-font-generator/): Free generator turning text into seventeen Unicode alphabets — bold, italic, script, fraktur, double-struck, monospace, small caps, circled, fullwidth, strikethrough and more — for the Telegram fields that accept no formatting: display names, bios and channel titles. Maps the reserved letters explicitly instead of emitting empty boxes, and states the three costs: styled titles are not found by Telegram search, screen readers cannot read them, and they double the length against the 1,024-character caption limit. Nine languages
- [Telegram text formatter: bold, italic, spoiler, MarkdownV2](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-text-formatter/): Free formatter — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, spoilers, inline code, code blocks with a language, links, quotes and expandable quotes typed with a small markup and previewed live, then copied as MarkdownV2 with the Bot API's escaping already done (the 18 special characters outside code, only the backtick and backslash inside code, the closing parenthesis inside a link address, and the empty-bold separator where an italic meets an underline), as HTML with the supported tag set (b, i, u, s, tg-spoiler, a, code, pre with a language class, blockquote and blockquote expandable), or as a MessageEntity array with UTF-16 offsets. Counts the 4,096-character message and 1,024-character caption limits after entities parsing, in code points. Nine languages
- [Telegram username checker: taken, not occupied or invalid](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-username-checker/): Free checker that sends a name — typed with or without the @, or as a t.me or tg://resolve link — to Telegram's contacts.resolveUsername through a dedicated bot account and relays Telegram's own verdict: taken by a channel, group, bot or person (t.me/username is one namespace shared by all four), not occupied right now, or invalid; it keeps Telegram's wording rather than promising a name is yours to take, because the answer is a snapshot of that moment and a not-occupied name can still be a collectible username sold on Fragment, so every not-occupied result carries a Fragment link. Applies Telegram's documented rule before calling — Latin letters, digits and underscores, 5 to 32 characters, a bot's name ending in bot, the reserved t.me path segments refused — and, when the check cannot finish, says so and offers the t.me link instead of guessing. Names are not saved beyond a short technical cache. Nine languages
- [Telegram channel name generator: ideas with a handle check](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-channel-name-generator/): Free generator that fills twelve fixed patterns with a topic and pairs each title idea with a handle built by this tool's own conversion — lower-cased, Cyrillic transliterated by a fixed table, accents dropped, everything else collapsed into single underscores, the word for channel in that language appended (_channel, _kanal, _canal) when the result is under five characters, cut at 32 — then checks any handle against Telegram in one click with the same taken / not occupied / invalid answer as the username checker. Drops ideas that run past the 128-character title limit of setChatTitle; a topic in a script the table does not cover (Devanagari, Arabic) gets no handle, and the page says so rather than guessing. Nine languages
- [Telegram channel description generator (255 characters)](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-channel-description-generator/): Free generator that fills six fixed sentence skeletons — no AI model — with a niche's hook phrase, a tone's opening and closing line, a posting rhythm, a call to action and the audience and benefit typed in, tidies the spacing and counts every draft in code points against the 0-to-255-character limit of the Bot API's setChatDescription (a title is a separate field, 1 to 128 characters, via setChatTitle; a bot's own description and short description, 512 and 120 characters, are out of scope); a draft over the limit is marked, not blocked, and nothing typed is sent anywhere. Nine languages
- [Telegram bot token checker and chat ID finder](https://adminhub.tools/tools/telegram-bot-token-chat-id/): Free tool in two halves. Without a token, it first asks whose ID is needed — your own, a person's or a bot's goes to the companion bot, because the web cannot see them; for a channel or group: a public channel's or supergroup's @username or t.me link is looked up on AdminHub's server with the Bot API's getChat and comes back with its ID and title; a link to any post of a private channel or supergroup (t.me/c/…) gives the ID in the browser, built from the link's internal number; a person's or bot's username gets no ID, and invite links carry none — those go to the companion bot. With a token: it checks the token with getMe — whether Telegram accepts it, which bot it belongs to (name, username, ID), whether the bot can be added to groups and whether privacy mode is on — then reads the bot's waiting updates with getUpdates and lists every chat found in them: private chats, groups, supergroups and channels with their chat IDs and how each turned up (a message, a channel post, the bot added or removed, a forwarded message, a join request), with a group's new ID after it became a supergroup. Runs in the browser: requests go straight to api.telegram.org, never through AdminHub's server. Only those two read-only methods are called, getUpdates without offset or allowed_updates, so no update is confirmed and no bot setting changes; a webhook is reported, never deleted; the token is not stored, and the field and results are kept out of the site's analytics and session recordings. Explains @BotFather's /newbot and /token, the 24-hour update retention, privacy mode in groups and the Bot API dialog ID ranges behind the -100 prefix. Points to the companion bot @getid_adminhub_bot (https://t.me/getid_adminhub_bot) for an ID without a token: it opens Telegram's own chat picker for a person, a bot, a group or a channel (or only the groups and channels you own) and answers with the picked chat's ID, gives the origin of a forwarded message and, with /id in a group, the group's and the forum topic's ID; it joins none of the picked chats and keeps no IDs of them. Nine languages

## Changelog

- [Changelog](https://adminhub.tools/changelog/): Month-by-month record of what shipped, written natively in all nine interface languages. October 2026 — a bot token checker and chat ID finder that runs in the browser and only reads, the link generator opening on a channel, group or profile link with a text-only example, a check in the Telegram app itself when the username checker cannot reach Telegram, channel description drafts that appear at once and follow every field, weekly exchange-rate refreshes in the Stars calculator, title-cased channel name ideas in English, Turkish and Indonesian.

August 2026 — anonymous audience questions free on every plan, gifts sent to a subscriber by hand, streaming AI replies with a Stop button and a daily per-conversation limit, buttons inside a rich post, a moderation warning shown only to the offender, and a repeated Telegram update that no longer replays an action twice

## Blog (guides, comparisons, decision rubrics)

- [ManyChat vs Chatfuel in 2026: two different meters](https://adminhub.tools/blog/manychat-vs-chatfuel/): ManyChat bills by how many people write to you — $0 with 25 Active Contacts, then $17 (250), $39 (2,500), $99 (7,500) and $199 (25,000), with overage from $0.10 down to $0.004 per extra contact — while Chatfuel charges $49 a month for AI PRO with unlimited active contacts and meters the AI behind each reply under an unnumbered fair-use allowance. ManyChat covers seven channels including Telegram and TikTok; Chatfuel names Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. The Telegram-only third option is a support agent answering from your own knowledge base, with no Instagram, WhatsApp or email.
- [Gumroad vs Payhip in 2026: 10% + 50¢ against 5%](https://adminhub.tools/blog/gumroad-vs-payhip/): Gumroad charges one number — 10% + $0.50 on a direct sale, 30% through its Discover marketplace, no monthly fee — and has been merchant of record since 1 January 2025, handling sales tax worldwide. Payhip stacks two: $0/month + 5%, $29 + 2% or $99 + 0%, all with identical features, plus the processor's own 2.9% + $0.30. Payhip wins on money almost everywhere; Gumroad owns the wider tax map and a marketplace that finds buyers. A Telegram storefront takes 0% from the seller and pays out $0.013 of a ~$0.019 Star, so it wins on the checkout, not the fee.
- [Podia vs Kajabi in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/podia-vs-kajabi/): Podia bundles a website, email marketing and every product type for $49/$99/$179 a month ($42/$84/$150 on annual billing, about 14–16% off), takes 5% on Mover and nothing above it, and caps email subscribers at 100/500/1,000; Kajabi costs $179/$249/$499 ($143/$199/$399 annual), takes 2.7–2.9% + 30¢ through Kajabi Payments or 0.5–2% over an outside provider, and counts contacts at 2,500/25,000/100,000 with unlimited funnels and marketing emails on every tier. The course rows nearly tie, so audience size decides it — and the Telegram third option removes the web home base while naming the three things it lacks.
- [Podia vs Thinkific: fees, caps and certificates](https://adminhub.tools/blog/podia-vs-thinkific/): Podia is the all-in-one at $49/$99/$179 a month ($42/$84/$150 billed yearly), with 5% on Mover and none above it, quizzes and completion certificates on every tier, and email capped at 100/500/1,000 subscribers; Thinkific is the course platform alone at $54/$109/$219 ($40/$82/$164 annually) with 2.9% processing and no platform cut, unlimited courses and 10,000 current students, but certificates only from $109 and exams from $219. Crossovers on the monthly basis decide it, and the Telegram third option has neither quizzes nor certificates.
- [Patreon vs Substack in 2026: both take 10%](https://adminhub.tools/blog/patreon-vs-substack/): The headline fee is a tie — Patreon takes 10% of income earned, Substack 10% of each transaction — but Substack publishes the whole stack (Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 and 0.7% on recurring, about $8.34 of a $10 subscription) while Patreon publishes no processing, conversion or payout rate. Patreon sells tiers, native video, podcasts and annual billing; Substack sells the inbox, the archive and a network that supplies 30%+ of paid subscriptions. A paid Telegram channel is the third and most expensive rail at about 68 cents on the dollar, and only for an audience already inside Telegram.
- [Ko-fi vs Patreon in 2026: 0-5% against 10%](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ko-fi-vs-patreon/): Ko-fi takes 0% on one-off tips on Free, 5% on Standard (the default for new creators) and 0% on Gold at $12 a month — break-even above about $240 a month — and never holds the money, since supporters pay into the creator's own processor account. Patreon takes 10% plus processing, conversion and payout fees it does not publish, and buys native video and livestreaming, podcast import, annual subscriptions and discovery. Ko-fi keeps $9.50 of a $10 membership against Patreon's $9.00; a Telegram channel keeps about 68 cents on the dollar and wins only on the checkout.
- [Teachable vs Thinkific: an honest 2026 comparison](https://adminhub.tools/blog/teachable-vs-thinkific/): Teachable opens at $39–$189 a month with a 7.5% fee on the cheapest plan and 0% above it through its own payment rails; Thinkific at $54–$219 with 2.9% processing, unlimited courses and a custom domain on every paid plan. A completion certificate is a tier climb on both sides — Thinkific from $109, Teachable ticked only from $189 — and two crossovers follow from the published prices: Starter stops being cheaper than Builder at about $667 a month of sales and than Thinkific Basic at $200. Neither has a free plan.
- [Kajabi vs Teachable: which one fits your course](https://adminhub.tools/blog/kajabi-vs-teachable/): Kajabi's cheapest plan ($179) costs more than Teachable's most expensive standard plan ($189 Growth), so the choice is not cheap versus expensive but how much surrounding software comes attached — Kajabi bundles websites, funnels, landing pages and marketing emails with 2,500–100,000 contacts by tier at 2.7–2.9% + 30¢ via Kajabi Payments or 0.5–2% over an outside processor; Teachable sells the course alone at $39–$189 with 7.5% on Starter and no platform fee above it. A Telegram LMS runs neither quizzes nor certificates, and replaces none of the Kajabi marketing stack.
- [Kajabi vs Thinkific in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/kajabi-vs-thinkific/): Kajabi is a marketing platform priced by contacts — $179/$249/$499 a month ($143/$199/$399 annual), 2.7–2.9% + 30¢ via Kajabi Payments or 0.5–2% over an outside provider, 2,500 to 100,000 contacts — while Thinkific is a course website at $54/$109/$219 ($40/$82/$164 annual) with 2.9% processing, unlimited courses, 10,000 students and a custom domain on every paid plan, certificates only from Start, exams from Grow, SCORM and the AI teaching assistant only on Plus. The third option is lessons delivered in a Telegram bot chat at 0% commission, with no quizzes, certificates or owner-facing progress roster.
- [LearnWorlds vs Thinkific: prices, fees and limits](https://adminhub.tools/blog/learnworlds-vs-thinkific/): LearnWorlds opens at $29 a month ($24 annual) but charges $5 on every paid enrollment on Starter, which is 17% of a $29 course and 1% of a $500 one; Thinkific opens at $54 with no platform cut on top of its 2.9% processing, so the two meet at five paid enrollments a month. LearnWorlds gives certificates and 20 SCORM packages at $99 and five admin seats; Thinkific gives 10,000 current students against LearnWorlds' monthly active-learner caps and keeps SCORM and its AI assistant on the custom-priced Plus tier.
- [ManyChat alternatives for Telegram in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/manychat-alternatives/): ManyChat is a seven-channel automation builder priced by Active Contacts ($17–$199/mo, overage per contact, AI automation from the $39 tier); the Telegram-only counterpart is a support agent that answers from a knowledge base and reads live orders, bookings and free slots, with Instagram, WhatsApp, email and SMS stated as absent.
- [Substack alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/substack-alternatives/): Substack publishes free and charges 10% per transaction plus Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 and 0.7% recurring billing, leaving about 83 cents on the dollar against roughly 68 on the Stars rail — so the paid Telegram channel is the more expensive rail and wins only on the checkout, with no email delivery, no exportable list, no indexed web archive and no recommendation network.
- [Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/buy-me-a-coffee-alternatives/): Buy Me a Coffee takes 5% per transaction plus Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30, and Ko-fi takes 0% on one-off tips on Ko-fi Free, 5% on Standard or $12/month for Gold — all cheaper than collecting tips in Telegram Stars, where a ~$0.019 Star pays out $0.013; the trade is that a donation goal, paywalled post and channel subscription sit on one bot balance inside the chat with no page to open and no card to type, and the article says plainly that a web-first audience should stay put.
- [Whop alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/whop-alternatives/): Whop's published rate is 2.7% + $0.30 on domestic cards with no monthly plan and a marketplace that is free to list on, so a Telegram-native setup loses the fee argument outright — the Stars rail keeps about $32 of a $100 sale against Whop's $3.00 — and wins only where the buyer already lives in the chat and never has to make an account.
- [How to choose an online course platform](https://adminhub.tools/ru/blog/course-platform-how-to-choose/): Russian-market guide — four classes of course platforms (school builders, Western hosts, marketplaces, Telegram LMS) chosen by where the audience lives, with the Telegram option's limits stated plainly
- [Telegram auto reply: native, bots, and the smart AI kind](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-auto-reply/): The three tools behind one search phrase — native Telegram Business templates (Premium required), keyword bots, and an AI assistant answering from a knowledge base via Chat Automation with no Premium; edge behavior: escalation on unknowns, one-hour pause after manual replies, a daily reply limit
- [Telegram Gifts explained: prices, collectibles, and channels](https://adminhub.tools/blog/what-are-telegram-gifts/): Regular vs collectible gifts, Stars pricing, converting a gift into Stars, crafting, the in-app resale marketplace (no wallet), why collectible prices are speculative — and the channel-owner angle: a bot can gift subscribers from its own earned-Stars balance
- [Anonymous questions in Telegram: how to set them up and pick a live bot](https://adminhub.tools/ru/blog/anonymous-questions-bot-telegram/): Russian-market guide — how anonymous-question links work, a 60-second liveness test for bots from listicles (most are dead), an honesty checklist (anonymity is to the recipient, never sold as a reveal), and the channel-first setup where questions become post drafts
- [NGL alternatives: anonymous questions that live on Telegram](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ngl-alternatives-telegram/): The $5M FTC case against NGL (fake questions, paid sender hints, overstated moderation), a trust checklist for any anonymous-questions tool, and the Telegram-native alternative for channel owners — free, with no reveal feature to sell
- [How to sell on Telegram in 2026 — practical guide](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-sell-on-telegram/): Five-step playbook covering product types, bot setup, Stars and card payments, AI support, launch metrics
- [Telegram Stars vs card payments: which rail for which product](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-stars-vs-card-payments/): Why the rail is assigned by product category rather than chosen, what each rail costs, and how to sell on both by splitting the offer into digital and physical products
- [How to withdraw Telegram Stars: limits and the real payout rate](https://adminhub.tools/blog/withdraw-telegram-stars/): A Star costs about $0.019 to buy but pays out $0.013 per Telegram's developer terms — plus the 1,000-Star minimum, the 21-day rolling hold, and why Fragment pays in Toncoin rather than to a bank account
- [How to get Telegram Stars: 3 routes, and what each one costs](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-get-telegram-stars/): One search hides two questions — a buyer pays $19.99 per 1,000 Stars as a store pack or $14.10 at Telegram's rate, instantly, while an earner receives $0.013 per Star and can withdraw. Bought Stars can never be cashed out while earned ones can, which is the distinction most guides skip; plus the three routes, the 1,000-Star floor, the two legitimate ways to get Stars without paying (a giveaway, a converted gift), and why free-Star generators are a scam after your login code
- [What are Telegram Stars and how do they work](https://adminhub.tools/blog/what-are-telegram-stars/): Stars are Telegram's internal currency for everything digital — two currencies under one icon: bought Stars can be spent but never withdrawn, earned Stars withdraw at $0.013 (developer terms 6.2.4) while a 1,000-Star store pack is $19.99 in Telegram's own Star Pricing table and $14.10 at Telegram's sell rate; nothing is withheld at withdrawal. Covers what Stars buy, the Stars-to-USD table both directions, the bot balance, the 1,000-Star floor and 21-day hold, and why free-Star generators are phishing
- [Telegram Ads cost in 2026: real prices, and who gets paid](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-ads-cost/): Pricing is an impression auction with a 0.1 TON CPM floor on the self-serve platform — the famous 2M euro entry barrier belonged to the retired direct-sales route. Covers the 160-character format, Telegram-only link destinations, the 1,000-subscriber placement threshold, the 50% revenue share channel owners receive, a worked cost-per-subscriber example, and when free cross-promotion beats paying
- [How to promote a Telegram channel: 12 ways, free and paid](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-promote-telegram-channel/): Telegram has no main feed — its one recommendation surface, Similar channels, picks public channels by comparing subscriber bases — so growth comes from pointers. Four fixes first (searched words in the name, a 255-character description, a pinned post, a public channel), eight free ways (cross-promotion with channels your size, Telegram search, Similar channels, your other platforms, content that ranks, guest posts, niche comments, catalogs), four paid ways (Telegram Ads from 0.1 TON CPM, paid posts in other channels, creators, outside ads), one invite link per source to measure cost per subscriber who stays, retention, the three tactics that backfire, and a 30-day plan
- [How to advertise a Telegram channel: 4 paid routes compared](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-advertise-telegram-channel/): Telegram Ads (an impression auction from 0.1 TON per 1,000 views, public channels with 1,000+ subscribers, links only to Telegram channels and bots), paid posts in other channels and how to vet one before paying (views per post against subscribers, settled older posts, reactions, statistics screenshots), creators outside Telegram and ads on other networks; one invite link per placement, cost per subscriber who stays, a comparison table, a free cross-promo benchmark to beat first, and a note that ad-labeling rules depend on the country
- [How to add a bot to a Telegram group (and a channel)](https://adminhub.tools/blog/add-bot-to-telegram-group/): The two-minute mechanics plus what guides skip — a bot joins a channel only as an administrator; a non-admin bot in default privacy mode sees only commands addressed to it while an admin bot sees everything except other bots; grant rights minimally; and Telegram caps bots at 20 messages per minute per group, which explains most "my bot stopped responding" mysteries. With a safety checklist before granting admin
- [Telegram Business account: what it actually gives you](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-business-account/): Telegram Business is a feature set free for Premium subscribers, not a separate product — hours, location and a start page on the profile, plus quick replies, greeting and away messages and a connectable chatbot. It stops where transactions begin: catalog, checkout, payments and bookings still live in bots, so the realistic small-business setup is a Business account as the human front door paired with a bot carrying the machinery
- [How to create a Telegram channel — and set it up right](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-create-telegram-channel/): The three taps take a minute; the guide covers the five decisions they commit you to — a name built from searched words (Telegram search ranks by name and description), public vs private with the ad-revenue eligibility table, comments via a linked discussion group and the moderation debt they create, minimal admin rights, and the ~200-contact seeding allowance. Ends with the monetization thresholds worth knowing on day one
- [Telegram Mini App store: how a storefront inside chat differs from a website](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-mini-app-store/): Telegram renders the page and hands the backend a signed packet identifying the buyer — so there is no account to create and no card form for Stars. What that buys, and where the format loses to an ordinary shop (no SEO, no cold traffic, no deep catalogue logic)
- [Telegram channel monetization: six routes sorted by who pays](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-channel-monetization/): Sorted by payer rather than as a flat list — Telegram pays 50% of channel ad revenue but only to public channels with 1,000+ subscribers, in Toncoin via Fragment; the audience pays for subscriptions, digital products, services and courses with no threshold at all; third parties pay affiliate commission. The passive route is the one with the only gate and the lowest per-reader return
- [Paid content on Telegram: subscriptions, paywall posts, gated channels](https://adminhub.tools/blog/paid-content-on-telegram/): Three formats of paid content with use-case matching, side-by-side economics, 0% commission wedge vs 10%-take creator-monetization platforms
- [Selling courses on Telegram: native LMS vs external platforms](https://adminhub.tools/blog/sell-courses-on-telegram/): Native chat-delivered courses vs redirect-to-website flow, when each wins, completion-rate math, decision rubric
- [Protect an online course from piracy: what actually works](https://adminhub.tools/blog/protect-online-course-from-piracy/): Piracy is a price rather than a state — four rungs of friction from an open link to DRM, what Telegram's protect_content flag stops on every lesson message, what it never will (a second phone, external links, the ideas themselves), and when a DRM platform is genuinely the right buy
- [Services on Telegram: bookings, slots, beating no-shows](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-services-bookings/): Native booking flow with deposits and in-chat reminders, no-show economics, when heavy salon-management SaaS still wins
- [Telegram booking bot: order, build or take a ready one](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-booking-bot/): Development studios quote 1,500–3,500 EUR for a custom booking bot — what that money buys, what a self-built one costs later in double bookings and duplicate reminders, and the cases where ordering a custom build is genuinely the right call
- [Sell cars on Telegram: classifieds, inline sharing and leads](https://adminhub.tools/blog/sell-cars-on-telegram/): Car-classifieds catalog inside Telegram — bulk file import, inline cards shared into any chat, leads in the bot. When a big marketplace still wins, and when it doesn't
- [AI customer support on Telegram: a knowledge-base agent](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ai-customer-support-on-telegram/): How an AI agent answers customers in your bot and Telegram Business DMs from your own knowledge base, escalating the hard ones. When hand-answering still wins
- [Telegram AI bot: three different things with the same name](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-ai-bot/): A chat companion, a customer-support agent and a content pipeline all go by "AI bot" and share almost nothing else. Support must be grounded in a knowledge base and live shop data or it states prices it invented; content generation is deliberately the opposite discipline; and cost is metered per operation rather than per bot, so the bill tracks volume
- [Team roles in a Telegram workspace: five, not two](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-team-roles-permissions/): Owner, admin, editor, analyst and support cover seventeen permissions between them — support can issue refunds but cannot publish, an editor publishes but never touches money. Two permissions, deleting and transferring the workspace, are owner-only and are stripped from any individual grant, so they cannot be handed over by mistake. Any member can be adjusted above or below their role without inventing a new one
- [Segmenting a Telegram audience: what tags can and can't do](https://adminhub.tools/blog/segment-telegram-audience/): Tags are stored on a subscriber and shown on their card, but nothing downstream reads them — no campaign audience is built from a tag and the list cannot be filtered by one. Audiences come from seven ready segments computed from behaviour instead, so tagging is for reading rather than for sending, and the page says so before a seller spends an evening on it
- [Orders in a Telegram shop: one list, not three](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-shop-orders-crm/): Purchases, bookings and enquiries arrive in one feed normalised to four shared statuses — new, active, done, cancelled — while each kind keeps its own detail underneath: an order moves through five statuses of its own, a booking can be rescheduled or marked a no-show and exported as a calendar file, and a Nova Poshta waybill is generated from the order itself. Seller notes live on the order because the chat scrolls away and the order does not
- [Telegram welcome message: a sequence, not one greeting](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-welcome-message-funnel/): A welcome funnel is steps with delays, triggered by one event only — an approved join request — so the channel needs join requests enabled. Steps carry media and buttons and can be skipped by eight conditions covering Premium status, payment and language; the funnel stops on payment or on leaving. Analytics report per-step drop-off, which is what makes it improvable rather than decorative
- [How to make money on Telegram: 5 real routes, 3 traps](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-make-money-on-telegram/): Every real income route on Telegram is built on an audience, a product or a skill — never a button. Five routes with honest entry requirements: ad revenue share for channels from 1,000 subscribers, a paid subscription channel, selling goods and services through an in-chat storefront, selling courses, and partner programs. Plus three traps named for what they are: pirated uploads, pay-to-view schemes and guaranteed-return groups
- [Telegram CRM: the built-in kind vs the bolted-on kind](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-crm/): Two products hide behind the query — a classic sales CRM with a Telegram integration (right when Telegram is one channel of many) and the CRM built into a Telegram-native shop, where every order, booking and enquiry is recorded against the buyer's Telegram account as it happens. One chronological feed across three kinds, four normalized journey states (new, active, done, cancelled), and follow-ups sent as bot messages to ready segments instead of exported lists
- [Telegram broadcast: channel posts, bot DMs, and limits](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-broadcast/): Telegram has two broadcast mechanics — the public channel post and the bot DM that lands in a personal inbox. A bot can only message people who pressed Start, which makes its list opt-in by design. AdminHub's shop broadcasts are segmented (buyers of one product, dormant customers, expired subscribers, abandoned checkouts), always carry a /stop unsubscribe footer, observe a 24-hour quiet period after purchase, and are capped at one ever on Free and three per week on Pro
- [How to win back customers who bought once and left](https://adminhub.tools/blog/win-back-customers-telegram/): Seven ready segments — expired subscribers, abandoned checkouts, buyers of one product, dormant buyers and more — narrowed by recency, with media and inline buttons. Anyone who opted out of marketing is removed before the audience count is shown. The free plan allows one campaign ever and Pro three per seven days, and the cap is the point: a past-customer list is spent once
- [How to create a Telegram bot for your channel](https://adminhub.tools/blog/create-telegram-bot-for-channel/): Every guide ends with copy the API token and paste it — that stopped being the only way. Telegram can hand a newly created bot straight to an app, so the token never reaches your clipboard; the paste route survives as the fallback and for bots you already own. A workspace runs one bot across any number of channels, and creating it is not the finish line: a bot that is not a channel admin cannot publish there
- [How to create a Telegram bot: step by step, code or no code](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-create-telegram-bot/): A bot is an account plus a program that answers for it. Register it in @BotFather (/newbot, a name, a username of 5–32 Latin letters, digits and underscores ending in bot, not changeable later) and get a token; set the picture, description (up to 512 characters, shown in the empty chat), about text (up to 120), commands and name; then make it answer — a ready service, your own code (a working aiogram 3 example in Python with the token in an environment variable) or code written with an AI assistant, which Telegram's own docs suggest. Updates arrive by getUpdates or a webhook (HTTPS, ports 443, 80, 88, 8443), never both, and wait up to 24 hours. A bot cannot write first; limits are about 1 message per second per chat, 20 per minute in a group and ~30 per second in broadcasts, faster only with paid broadcasts (0.1 Stars per message over 30/s, for bots with 100,000 Stars and 100,000 monthly users). In groups privacy mode shows the bot only commands and replies to it; posting to a channel needs an admin bot. Registering a bot is free
- [How to get a Telegram bot token, find it and keep it safe](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-get-telegram-bot-token/): The token comes from @BotFather — /newbot, a display name, a username ending in bot (5–32 Latin letters, digits, underscores, not changeable later) — and looks like 110201543:AAHdq…; a lost one is in /mybots → the bot → API Token; getMe checks it (Unauthorized means mistyped or revoked, Not Found means no token in the address); a leaked one is revoked in BotFather, which issues a new token and stops the old; keep it in environment variables, not code. The Bot API at api.telegram.org needs only the token; the api_id / api_hash from my.telegram.org identify MTProto apps — user-account clients, and MTProto bot libraries or a self-hosted Bot API server, which need them on top of the token. Managed bots let an app receive a new bot's token straight from Telegram, with nothing to paste
- [How to find a Telegram chat ID: user, group, channel, topic](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-find-telegram-chat-id/): The fastest way per chat — your own ID and any person or bot through @getid_adminhub_bot's chat picker (its My channel / My group buttons list only chats you created), a public channel or group by @username and a private one by a post link (t.me/c/…) in AdminHub's chat ID finder, a forum topic's message_thread_id with /id inside it, and the chats that wrote to your own bot in the last 24 hours from its token (with the bot stopped and no webhook). Bot API dialog IDs: people positive, basic groups negative, supergroups and channels -(1,000,000,000,000 + internal ID), so -100… today; at most 52 bits. chat_id also accepts @username for public channels, supergroups and bots. An ID changes once — when a group becomes a supergroup (migrate_to_chat_id)
- [How to add buttons to a Telegram channel post](https://adminhub.tools/blog/add-buttons-to-telegram-post/): Telegram's own composer cannot attach buttons — only a bot can, which is why every buttoned post came through a tool. Two kinds are hand-authored, a URL button and a WebApp button that opens a Mini App in place; the pay button is assembled for paywalled posts. Rows, three colours and a custom emoji are available; callback buttons that react rather than navigate are not
- [How to connect a bot to your Telegram account](https://adminhub.tools/blog/connect-bot-to-telegram-account/): Chat Automation lets any account attach a bot that answers DMs on the owner's behalf — no Telegram Premium, which most guides still say is required because they describe the older Telegram Business route. Two conditions are AdminHub's rather than Telegram's: only a bot you created here can be connected, and the agent speaks for you on Pro only
- [AI knowledge base for a Telegram bot: what to feed it](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ai-knowledge-base-telegram-bot/): Nine source types from a website crawl to a voice memo, why each costs a different number of credits to ingest, what happens between the upload and the first answer — and why the gaps list of unanswered questions matters more than the upload
- [AI content for Telegram channels: RSS, autoposting, rewrite](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ai-content-for-telegram-channels/): Pull posts from RSS feeds, other Telegram channels or a single link, let AI rewrite them in your tone, and publish on a schedule. When you still need to write it yourself
- [Telegram affiliate program: 50% lifetime revenue share](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-affiliate-program/): How the native Telegram affiliate program works, payout mechanics, and who earns the most referring AdminHub
- [Rich post editor for Telegram: beautiful posts without formatting codes](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-post-editor/): Composing channel posts with headings, tables, lists, media and buttons in a live preview — no MarkdownV2 and no guesswork
- [Protect a Telegram channel from spam and bots](https://adminhub.tools/blog/protect-telegram-channel-from-spam/): Keeping a channel and its comments clean without a 24/7 moderator — join-gate captcha, spammer screening, anti-raid, and self-running comment filters
- [Telegram comment moderation: what actually works](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-comment-moderation/): Spam under a post is a different problem from spam at the join gate — what the six filters match, how the same message three times in five minutes is caught, when violations escalate to mute and ban, what the AI pass reads (and what it never sees: media without text, edited messages, comments posted as a channel)
- [RSS to Telegram: auto-post any feed with AI rewrite](https://adminhub.tools/blog/rss-to-telegram-channel/): Connecting an RSS feed to a Telegram channel with AI rewriting each item in your tone, deduplication, and either a moderation queue or scheduled auto-publishing
- [Telegram channel parser without code: repost with AI rewrite](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-channel-parser/): Reading public Telegram channels as a content source and republishing rewritten in your own voice, without Telethon or a server
- [How to automate Telegram channel content: 7 ways](https://adminhub.tools/blog/automate-telegram-channel-content/): Seven levels of channel automation from manual scheduling to full autopilot, what each requires, and where automating further starts costing the channel its voice
- [Telegram autoposting: the complete guide](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-autoposting-guide/): Scheduling, recurring posts, auto-delete, silent send, pinning and auto-reactions in the post editor, versus source-driven auto-publishing in the content factory — what each one is for and where each breaks
- [A Telegram content plan the AI fills in for you](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-content-plan-ai/): Turning a topic list into a plan that writes itself — rotation that skips the ten most recent topics, a schedule, tone and style examples, and a post cap that pauses the plan instead of overrunning the channel
- [AI post generator for Telegram: what it actually does](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ai-post-generator-telegram/): Generating from a topic, rewriting a source, editing by instruction and drawing an image — with an honest account of what AI cannot supply for a channel post
- [AI post moderation queue for Telegram channels](https://adminhub.tools/blog/moderate-ai-posts-telegram/): The review step between generation and publishing — edit, regenerate, schedule or reject, approved right from the chat — and when running without it is reasonable
- [Repost from other Telegram channels without a ban](https://adminhub.tools/blog/repost-from-telegram-channels/): Where automated reposting stops being curation and starts being theft — platform rules, copyright, attribution, and why a rewrite with a source sits differently than a copy
- [AI-powered Telegram autoposting services compared](https://adminhub.tools/blog/best-telegram-autoposting-services-2026/): Schedulers, RSS-to-Telegram tools, AI aggregators and classic bots side by side — what each class solves, where each is strongest, and a decision table that does not always land on us
- [Teleparser alternatives: what to use instead](https://adminhub.tools/blog/teleparser-alternatives/): What Teleparser is strong at, where a cross-posting combine stops matching the job, and which class of tool fits instead
- [Mira alternatives for Telegram channels](https://adminhub.tools/blog/mira-alternatives/): Mira reads YouTube, Reddit and Google News on top of RSS — where that breadth decides the choice and where a narrower tool fits better
- [Junction Bot alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/junction-bot-alternatives/): Nine years of Telegram aggregation with AI digests and keyword filters — what that reliability is worth and when a digest-first pipeline suits the job better
- [Controller Bot alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/controller-bot-alternatives/): Free scheduling, buttons and stats at scale — when that is already the right answer, and when the job has outgrown a scheduler
- [AI social content tools vs a Telegram content factory](https://adminhub.tools/blog/ai-content-tools-vs-telegram/): Predis.ai does not publish to Telegram at all; Ocoya does. Either way the atom differs — an Instagram asset with a caption against a Telegram message with blocks and buttons. What cross-posting costs: the 1024-byte caption cap, hashtags that do nothing, and a missing button
- [Telegram AI assistant: the two kinds and how to set one up](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-ai-assistant/): «AI assistant» names two products — one answers you, one answers your customers. The business kind: twelve tools with two confirmed write actions, a nine-source knowledge base, 2 credits a reply, and a one-hour silence after any manual reply so it never talks over the owner
- [Telegram bot creator: make a bot without code](https://adminhub.tools/blog/create-telegram-bot-without-coding/): BotFather creates an identity and a key, not behavior — the bot stays silent until software holds the token. Three ways to give it behavior: code it, rent a flow builder, or plug it into a platform where the job is built. Managed handover connects a bot without pasting the token; one active bot per workspace
- [Telegram post editor bots compared (2026)](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-post-editor-bots/): «Best post editor» is four products under one name — formatting-first bots, schedulers, text polishers and long-form tools. Which class fixes which failure, and where each one beats AdminHub
- [Telegram shop bot builders compared (2026)](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-shop-bot-builders/): Every builder has a catalogue; they part ways on the payment rail. GramBase settles in Stars and USDT/USDC at 2.5% capped at $20 and leaves shipping to you; a carrier-integrated storefront takes cards in eighteen currencies. Which rail decides who can pay you
- [InviteMember alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/invitemember-alternatives/): Six payment providers and no free plan against a Stars-native paid channel where Telegram itself bills, renews and removes — which side of that the audience decides
- [How to create a paid Telegram channel](https://adminhub.tools/blog/how-to-create-paid-telegram-channel/): Setup on Telegram's own subscription rail — bot must be channel admin, 30-day period and 1–10 000 Stars fixed by Telegram, and removal of lapsed subscribers is Telegram's job, not a cron
- [How to find a cross-promotion partner on Telegram](https://adminhub.tools/blog/find-cross-promotion-partner-telegram/): Getting found versus finding — the catalog search matches channel title and @username only, not the description or topic tags; listing yourself, browsing and accepting proposals are free; the free plan sends 3 proposals a month, Pro removes the limit; proposals go only to listed channels, while a tracked exchange link works with any channel
- [Combot alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/combot-alternatives/): Combot's unit of work is a group and AdminHub's is a channel with a comments group — plus AdminHub queries CAS, Combot's own ban list, on every join request rather than competing with it
- [Gumroad alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/gumroad-alternatives/): Gumroad charges 10% + 50 cents on direct sales and 30% via its Discover marketplace, with no monthly fee and merchant-of-record tax handling. The comparison turns on whose audience brings the buyers: sellers with their own Telegram channel pay marketplace rates for zero marketplace, while a Telegram storefront takes 0% commission with Telegram's Star economics (buyer ~$0.019 per Star, seller payout $0.013) as the real rail cost
- [Skool alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/skool-alternatives/): Skool bundles community and courses at $9/month + 10% per sale or $99/month + 2.9%, built around a gamified feed. The hidden premise is that your community will live in one more app; when it already lives in Telegram, a group + channel + chat-delivered course replaces the bundle at 0% commission, though gamification and the structured feed have no counterpart
- [Thinkific alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/thinkific-alternatives/): Thinkific builds course websites at $54–219/month (annual $40–164) plus ~2.9% processing, 30-day trial, no free plan. A Telegram LMS deletes the website: lessons arrive in the chat students already check, enrollment is a tap, 0% commission with Stars economics underneath — but no quizzes, certificates, custom domain or card checkout for digital access
- [Podia alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/podia-alternatives/): Podia bundles site, email and products at $49–179/month with a 5% fee on Mover and email capped at 100–1,000 subscribers by plan. On a $30 course Podia nets more per sale than the Stars rail once the monthly floor is covered — around the eighth sale on Mover — so the case for a chat-native LMS is the removed web detour and the missing login, not the fee.
- [Kajabi alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/kajabi-alternatives/): Kajabi is a marketing platform that hosts courses — $179–$499 a month plus 2.7–2.9% via Kajabi Payments and up to 2% via third-party providers, priced by contact tiers from 2,500 to 100,000. A Telegram LMS replaces only the courses module, not the website, funnels, email or CRM around it; nine comparison rows and Kajabi takes most of them
- [Teachable alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/teachable-alternatives/): A course platform versus a Telegram delivery layer — Teachable wins most feature rows, and the one AdminHub states plainly it lacks is an owner-facing view of student progress, since students mark lessons done and that is what drives sequential unlocking
- [Calendly alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/calendly-alternatives/): A scheduling tool built around your calendar versus booking and payment inside the client's chat — Calendly wins on two-way calendar sync and team rotation, AdminHub takes payment at the moment of booking with no per-seat pricing
- [Chatbase alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/chatbase-alternatives/): A document chatbot versus a support agent with twelve tools — Chatbase wins on voice, telephony and multiple agents, AdminHub reads live orders, shipments, bookings and free slots rather than only answering from uploaded files
- [Telegram Ads alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-ads-alternatives/): Buying reach in 160 characters versus trading it as a full post with buttons — Telegram Ads works with no audience of your own and pays channels 50% for showing ads, a channel swap costs no money but needs a channel worth being seen in
- [Boosty or a paid Telegram channel: an honest comparison](https://adminhub.tools/blog/boosty-alternative-telegram/): Boosty leads on tiers, trial periods and bank payouts; a paid channel removes the journey and takes 0% of sales. The deciding difference is the payout rail, not the fee
- [Patreon alternatives in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/patreon-alternatives/): Patreon takes 10% of income plus processing; a paid Telegram channel takes 0% but the Stars rail returns about 68 cents on the dollar, so Patreon is cheaper on money alone — what the channel buys instead is that nobody has to leave the app, create an account or enter a card
- [Import a car catalogue into Telegram](https://adminhub.tools/blog/import-car-catalogue-telegram/): CSV or XLSX bulk import for car listings — three mandatory columns (make, model, year), fifteen optional ones that decide what the card says, photos by URL separated by a vertical bar, a parse step that creates nothing and a commit step that enforces the plan limit. It is a one-time push, not a synced feed
- [Which Telegram comment filters to turn on](https://adminhub.tools/blog/which-comment-filters-to-enable/): Eleven switches, four on by default — links, invite links, duplicates and an AI pass capped at 2,000 checks per workspace a day. The seven that are off each delete real comments alongside spam, with reputation gating the harshest: it blocks links from anyone who joined in the last ten days
- [SMMplanner or Postmypost: choosing in 2026](https://adminhub.tools/blog/smmplanner-vs-postmypost/): Two schedulers for the Russian-speaking market compared on networks, pricing model and team features — plus when the job is not a scheduler at all
- [From n8n to a ready service: when to move](https://adminhub.tools/blog/n8n-to-ready-service/): A self-built pipeline works until rate limits, retries and being on call stop being free — the signs it is time, and what you give up by moving
- [Telegram cross-promotion: grow a channel without ads](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-cross-promotion/): Channel swaps trade reach rather than money, and normally run on a DM handshake — what changes when the deal carries a status, publishes and removes itself on schedule, and an early delete is detected automatically and recorded as a violation
- [Bluesky automation and schedulers compared (2026)](https://adminhub.tools/blog/bluesky-automation-schedulers/): Buffer (free 3 channels/10 posts, $5 per channel), Postiz (open source, self-host free, cloud from $29/mo), Typefully and Mastodon's native scheduled_at API compared for Bluesky and Mastodon automation — plus when mirroring a Telegram channel replaces scheduling entirely.
- [Buffer for Bluesky in 2026, and the alternatives](https://adminhub.tools/blog/buffer-bluesky-alternatives/): Buffer supports Bluesky on every plan via app password — free 3 channels / 10 scheduled posts each, Essentials $5 per channel per month, threads up to 25 sub-posts, analytics with no pre-connection history; alternatives compared are Typefully (free tier, $12.50/mo, five networks), Postiz (AGPL-3.0 self-host, cloud from $29), Fedica (free, 10 active scheduled posts) and AdminHub, which mirrors a Telegram channel to Bluesky and Mastodon instead of scheduling.
- [Telegram MCP servers compared: userbot vs bot (2026)](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-mcp-servers/): Telegram has no official MCP server, and most third-party ones are userbots: mcp-telegram/mcp-telegram exposes 181 tools over MTProto as your personal account, chaindead/telegram-mcp five, and the latter warns in its own README that misuse of the Telegram API may suspend the account. AdminHub is the Bot API side of the fork — fourteen tools, hosted, published by the channel owner's own bot with no personal account involved, and no reading of private chats, arbitrary chats or history at all.
- [Telegram MCP setup: connect your AI agent to a channel](https://adminhub.tools/blog/telegram-mcp-setup/): Setup documentation for the hosted Telegram MCP server — the three prerequisites people get stuck on (a workspace bot, that bot as a channel administrator, and the owner's private chat with it open, which is what makes image attachments possible), both connection routes (server address with a Telegram sign-in, or a key in an Authorization header), per-client steps for claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor checked 8 September 2026, the fourteen tools in a table, and a troubleshooting section keyed to the refusals the server actually returns: bot_required, channel_not_postable, owner_bot_not_started, plan_limit_reached and insufficient_scope.

## Key facts (for citation)

- **Payments**: Telegram Stars (native, one-tap) and fiat cards via integrated payment providers. The rail follows the product category under Telegram policy — digital goods, channel subscriptions and paywall posts are Stars-only; physical goods and real-world services go through a card provider. A single product carries one rail, never both.
- **Commission**: AdminHub takes 0% of creator GMV. Revenue comes from Pro subscriptions to creators.
- **Affiliate program**: Native Telegram Affiliate Program at 50% lifetime revenue share for referrers, on payments made with Stars in Telegram; card payments in the browser version are not part of the program.
- **Multi-tenant**: Each creator has their own Telegram bot. The AdminHub platform manages many such bots through one admin panel.
- **Localization**: Interface available in nine languages (English, Russian, Ukrainian, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Hindi, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic).
- **Open source**: The link builder behind the free Telegram link generator is published as `telegram-links` on npm under the MIT licence — no dependencies, no network calls — so the link formats it produces can be installed and checked against the code: https://www.npmjs.com/package/telegram-links and https://github.com/siteboss777-lgtm/telegram-links
