Apps Father Plans: Publish Live, Charge in Stars and TON, Keep Your Brand

Apps Father still starts with one message in @apps_father_bot. This update is about what you can do with the app after it exists: put it live, charge users, list it where people browse, and run the same account from a desktop Studio.

Building was the first job. Shipping a product you can charge for is the next one. Plans are how that works now, with a calmer product underneath: clearer credits, card or Stars checkout, and apps that stay online.

What you can sell

The useful part is monetization for your Mini App.

• Telegram Stars and TON inside the app you generated, on Builder and above. Your users pay you in Telegram. You do not rebuild the app to turn payments on.
• A TG.app listing as soon as you publish, so the app can be found in the catalog, not only inside your bot.
• A commercial license on Pro and Scale for the code you export, so a client project or a product you sell is actually yours to ship.
• Your brand on Pro and Scale: no Apps Father splash, and no Apps Father ads shown to your users.

Free is still the place to try an idea. Paid plans are the place to run it.

Plans

Pay monthly with Telegram Stars or card. One plan covers every app on the account. Full cards live on apps-father.com/pricing.

Builder is the step from a prototype to a live Mini App: publish, take Stars and TON, land on TG.app, run up to 10 apps, and use MAX mode when a build needs a stronger pass.

Pro is the product plan. Everything in Builder, plus a clean brand, a code export, a commercial license, video in Chat, and 30 live slots.

Scale is for people shipping a lot of apps from one account: 100 slots, 7,000 credits a cycle, a 20% bonus on credit top-ups, priority support, and invoice billing on request.

Enterprise (volume, SLA, invoicing, white-label) is a conversation in the bot: start=enterprise.

Credits that go further

A plan is the better credit rate, plus publish and brand. One-time packs are still there when you only need a top-up and do not want a subscription.

Without a plan, the list rate is 50 credits per $1. Builder, Pro, and Scale land at 65, 68, and 71 credits per $1. Packs stay near 28 to 30.

Plan, Build, and Update are pre-charged so the job can finish without stopping you. If the run uses fewer credits than that pre-charge, the unused part comes back. The bot shows the price before you confirm.

Steadier, and not only inside Telegram

A few things shipped with the plans that make day-to-day use calmer:

• Stars or card. Renew in the Mini App wallet, or pay by card when Wallet offers Stripe Checkout. Apps Father does not store your full card number. Stripe is for your plan and top-ups, not for sales inside your Mini App. Those stay Stars or TON.
• A renewal note in Telegram when a paid plan renews, so the charge is not a surprise.
• Cancel in Wallet. The app stays clean until the period you already paid ends.
• Desktop Studio (beta). The same apps, chat, credits, and wallet, outside the phone. Sign in with Telegram at apps-father.com/studio.

Builds are also less brittle: a plan, then a build, with checkpoints, and a fair return of unused pre-charge credits. Layouts fit small phones. If you already have a bot, you can attach it with the BotFather token instead of starting from zero.

Already live? You stay live

This is the part worth reading once, calmly.

A published app stays online. Without Builder, Pro, or Scale, people who open it see a full-screen Apps Father screen. Subscribe, and that screen is gone on the next open. You do not redeploy.

Apps that were already published get a notice and a grace date before that screen starts. One plan covers every app on the account. If you cancel, the app stays clean until the period you already paid for is over.

Free is unchanged as a place to build and test: 120 credits a cycle, two sandbox slots, credit packs whenever you want them.

Try it

1. Open @apps_father_bot and describe the app. Free is enough to see if the idea holds.
2. When it should take real users and real payments, pick Builder, Pro, or Scale.
3. Publish, then claim the listing TG.app creates and grow it from Creator Studio.

Desktop, when you want a bigger screen: Apps Father Studio.
