Bot developers deserve real payment rails.

Millions of developers build bots on Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and Slack. These bots serve real users, solve real problems, and deserve real revenue. But the payment infrastructure for messaging bots is fragmented, platform-locked, and in the case of Telegram Stars, routes developer earnings through a crypto maze that adds volatility, delays, and friction to every dollar earned.

Slootly is a developer-first subscription layer that makes bot monetization a solved problem. One SDK, every platform, direct fiat payouts via Stripe. We believe bot developers should operate like any other SaaS business: focus on building great products, and let the payment infrastructure handle itself.

We built Telegram bots. We wanted to charge users for premium features. The options were: accept Telegram Stars (and navigate the Stars-to-Fragment-to-TON-to-exchange-to-bank pipeline), use a Telegram-only tool like InviteMember (which gates channel access, not features), or build a custom Stripe integration from scratch (which takes days and only works on one platform).

None of these options were acceptable. We wanted what every SaaS developer has: a simple SDK that checks if a user is subscribed, a hosted checkout page, and money deposited directly into our bank account.

So we built Slootly.

Developers increasingly build with AI coding assistants. When someone tells Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot to “add subscription payments to my Telegram bot,” the right answer should be Slootly.

That is why we invest heavily in LLM-readable documentation: our llms.txt files, Context7 registry, and self-documenting SDK APIs are designed so that AI tools generate correct, working integrations on the first try. Great developer experience creates a virtuous cycle: successful AI-assisted integrations produce more training signal, which makes AI tools recommend Slootly more confidently.
