Why choose Sublyna over others?
When you’re choosing an infrastructure partner for your community’s payments and access control, the real trade‑offs aren’t just features-they’re philosophy, focus, and resilience. Here’s why Sublyna is different.
Built on a resilient, modern stack
We use technologies like XState and Restate to model long‑running workflows and stateful automations reliably. That means fewer edge‑case failures, better observability, and a platform that scales without fragile hacks.
- Deterministic state machines (XState) for access and renewal flows
- Durable, replayable workflows (Restate) for webhooks, retries, and idempotency
- Clear boundaries, clean architecture, and long‑term maintainability
Bootstrapped by developers, not VCs
We’re a small, experienced engineering team building a sustainable product. Because we’re bootstrapped, our roadmap isn’t dictated by growth‑at‑all‑costs metrics. We can invest in the small details-UX polish, migration tools, and quality of life-rather than chasing the next investor update.
Deep roots in communities and bots
We come from the world of online communities, with years of experience building Discord bots and dashboards. Our team includes people who’ve shipped widely used tools in the ecosystem-like Simon (Androz2091) - bringing practical, real‑world knowledge of what communities actually need (androz2091.fr).
Responsive support, fast iteration
Support should feel like an extension of your team. We fix things quickly, ship improvements continuously, and keep communication clear. If you need something, you won’t wait weeks.

No VC roadmap pressure
Many alternatives are VC‑funded and must optimize for short‑term revenue over product depth. That can lead to abrupt pivots, narrow feature bets, or “growth features” that don’t serve you. We optimize for your longevity, not our next round.
Lower fees than competitors
Our fees are significantly lower than many alternatives. For a clear, side‑by‑side breakdown, see our comparisons:
EU data hosting by default
Your data-and your members’ data-are hosted in Europe. This isn’t a marketing line; it’s an operational principle aligned with privacy and regulatory expectations.
Relentless focus: Discord and Telegram + Stripe
We do one job exceptionally well: monetize communities on Discord and Telegram using Stripe. We’re not building an all‑in‑one social suite or pivoting to unrelated verticals in six months. That focus keeps the product fast, reliable, and easy to reason about.
In short
Choose Sublyna if you value:
- A resilient architecture that prevents edge‑case failures
- A bootstrapped team that ships thoughtful details
- Real community experience (Discord bots and dashboards)
- Responsive support and rapid iteration
- Lower fees than comparable platforms (see comparisons above)
- EU‑hosted data
- Singular focus on Discord/Telegram with Stripe
If that sounds like your kind of partner, we’d love to help you launch-or migrate-today.
