# Bond vs LaunchPass

Bond is a LaunchPass alternative that sells Discord roles through your own Stripe account with no monthly price and no cut. Install the Paid roles plugin, paste a restricted Stripe key on Bond's dashboard, then ask for each tier in Discord. LaunchPass Premium is $29 a month plus a 3.5% transaction fee, per launchpass.com/pricing on 15 November 2026, and Stripe's own fee comes on top of both.

We build Bond. Everything below about LaunchPass comes from its own public pages.

## What LaunchPass is known for

Charging for access to Discord, Telegram and Slack communities. Members buy through LaunchPass's own checkout.

## What Bond does differently

Bond charges nothing for paid roles: no monthly price and no transaction fee, on every plan including free. The sale is in your own Stripe account. You install the plugin and paste a restricted Stripe key on Bond's dashboard, then ask for each tier in a sentence, and the same bot builds and runs the rest of the server: channels, roles, permissions, moderation and automations.

## One sentence per tier, once Stripe is connected.

"@Bond Sell a VIP role for $5 a month"

## And if you do switch, in three moves.

Members already paying through LaunchPass keep paying there until they cancel. Bond does not move anyone's subscription, so the two run side by side for a while.

### 1. Connect Stripe to Bond

Install the Paid roles plugin and paste a restricted Stripe key on Bond's dashboard. LaunchPass keeps selling exactly as it does today.

### 2. Sell new members through Bond

Ask Bond for each tier and try it in test mode first. New buyers pay on Stripe's page through Bond's panel; nobody already paying is moved.

### 3. Stop new sales in LaunchPass

Its existing subscribers keep paying it until they cancel. Turn it off once the last of them has gone, or keep both.

## When to stay on LaunchPass.

Stick with LaunchPass if you want a branded invite page, free trials and coupons, or Telegram and Slack as well as Discord, all of which launchpass.com/pricing listed on 15 November 2026.

It is good at charging for access to Discord, Telegram and Slack communities, and there is no prize for switching a tool you are happy with. Add Bond for the jobs LaunchPass does not cover, and leave the rest where it is.
