What is LaunchPass?

LaunchPass lets you create a paid membership community within Discord, Telegram, or Slack without building a separate website or platform. You set your pricing, create access rules, and LaunchPass handles payment processing and member management. It's designed for creators, coaches, and small businesses who want to monetise their existing chat communities quickly. The tool sits between your messaging platform and payment processor, automating access control so paying members get invited to private channels whilst others don't.

Payment processing

Set monthly or annual subscription prices and collect payments directly through the platform

Multi-platform support

Automated access control

Paying members are automatically invited to private channels; subscriptions expire without manual intervention

Member management

Quick setup

Launch a paid community in minutes without coding or technical configuration

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Uses messaging platforms your community already knows, so no need to get people to join yet another app
  • Handles payment and access logic automatically, saving you time on manual member administration
  • Freemium model lets you test the concept before paying for more members or features
  • Works with three major platforms, giving you flexibility in choosing where your community lives

Limitations

  • Depends on third-party messaging platforms; changes to Discord, Telegram, or Slack policies could affect functionality
  • Limited to the features and integrations those platforms support, so you can't customise your community interface much
