Bot Plans & Image Editing
Memescale offers two types of bots. Free bots and commercial meme bots. Both support image editing with reference image support, the difference is character training and generation limits.
- Everyday Telegram groups
- Up to 100 free edits / day
- Image editing + moderation
- Crypto & meme communities
- Unlimited generation
- Trained on your character
At Memescale we offer two different types of bots: free bots and commercial meme bots. Free bots, along with commercial meme bots, offer image editing with reference image support. Free bots are best for everyday Telegram groups that need AI image editing, simple group moderation, commands for automated bot responses, or for anyone that wants to explore Memescale's custom dashboard without the need for any payment at all.
Commercial meme bots are best for crypto communities, meme coins, NFT communities, cartoon studios and creators, and anyone that needs unmeasured inference of a specific character on-demand without the variation or per-image fee that may be present in leading AI lab models.
Free bots have generous limits of up to 100 free edits per day. Commercial meme bots have unlimited image generation. "Unlimited" means uninterrupted image generation that does not have any cap or cooldown, or tally on the amount of images generated. This means that the price of your commercial Telegram bot, regardless of the plan, will not differ in price if you generate 1,000 images in a month, or 100,000 images in a month.
Image Editing
Image editing as a feature can be used to edit images you provide the model with, or images that the model generates on its own. Reference image support means that you can upload up to three images with a caption that describes the edit you'd like and begins with /Edit. Unless deliberately clarified with clear instruction, the model will automatically determine which image to use as the base image.
For example, if you send three images into a group as a normal message, not as a response to another image in the group, featuring a character, a white hat, and black glasses, you'll need to clarify which image you want as the base image to generate the best results.
Good: /Edit add the white hat and black glasses on to the character
Vague: /Edit merge these imagesWhile the vague example may still generate an image that aligns with the original intention, there is no upsampling or prompt enhancement that occurs at inference, so being as specific as possible ensures your image comes out as expected. Tell the model which image is the base and what to apply from the others.
Group Moderation
Both free bots and commercial meme bots offer group moderation. Moderation is off by default. You need to intentionally activate it inside the dashboard.
- Reply to message, or tag @user
- Permanent block
- 24-hour mute
- Needs mute permission
Both free bots and commercial meme bots offer group moderation that is off by default. This means you need to intentionally activate moderation inside of the dashboard for any of this to be active. Group moderation offers muting and banning, with /mute and /ban as the only two commands.
How /ban Works
The ban functionality, triggered by /ban, automatically bans either (1) the user the message was sent in response to, or (2) the user you tag in a message such as /ban @User. This means that if a malicious user sends a message and you respond directly to that message with /ban, the user will be banned. The second option, banning by tagging the user, is best for any verifiable malicious user that is known by username.
How /mute Works
The muting functionality is a 24 hour mute, and requires the bot to have explicit permissions to mute users in the group. Without explicit permissions through the settings of the group, the request will silently fail. Both /mute and /ban can be triggered by any admin inside of the group, and are best only for Telegram groups where all admins are trusted with such responsibilities.
There is no per-admin permission layer, every group admin can issue /mute and /ban once moderation is enabled. Only enable moderation in groups where you trust every admin.
Why Moderation Exists Here
The only reason moderation exists on these AI bots is due to internal requests made because many Telegram moderation bots leave the chat a mess, with the formerly banned user's message still present, bot messages stating users have been banned, and additional messages that require additional admin cleanup.
Both free bots and commercial meme bots' group moderation features auto-cleanup that is on by default and cannot be turned off. While moderation itself is off by default, the logic behind the moderation is fixed, when you /ban or /mute someone, the offending message and the moderation command itself are cleaned up automatically.
The Platform
What a Memescale bot is, why teams pick it, and the isolated, secure infrastructure every bot runs on.
Platform Overview
What Memescale is and why it works
What Memescale Is
Memescale builds custom-trained AI image generation bots for Telegram and X. You give us images of your character, we train a model, and you get a bot that generates that character on demand — with no credit system and no per-image cost.
Memescale is a platform for deploying AI image bots tied to a specific character. The character is yours — a mascot, a token persona, a brand figure — and we train a model so the bot can draw it in any scene a user describes.
Two things make this different from generic AI image tools. First, the bot only knows your character, so every result is on-brand. Second, there are no credits and no metering: once a bot is live, your community generates as much as they want for a flat monthly price.
You pay one monthly fee for the plan. Generation volume never changes the bill.
Why Teams Choose Memescale
Memescale removes the friction that slows other AI tools down: pricing is flat and visible up front, deployment is same-day, and there is nothing to meter or top up.
- Per-image credits run out
- Generic off-brand models
- Slow onboarding
- Hidden costs
- Flat price, unlimited use
- Model trained on your character
- Same-day deployment
- Plan price is the whole price
| Friction elsewhere | How Memescale handles it |
|---|---|
| Per-image credits that run out | Flat monthly price, unlimited generations |
| Generic models that miss your brand | A model trained only on your character |
| Slow onboarding | Pay, upload images, bot is live the same day |
| Hidden costs | Plan price is the whole price |
- No credit system — community members generate freely.
- Same-day deployment once images are uploaded.
- A free gallery website provisioned automatically per character.
- All bot settings are editable live from the dashboard.
Infrastructure & Security
Every Memescale bot runs on an isolated GPU server. All ports are closed except a cryptographically protected SSH tunnel, the servers are DDoS-resistant, and Telegram bots make no external API calls at all.
Your bot does not share a process with anyone else's. It runs as an isolated GPU process with no external dependencies, which means one community's traffic can never affect another's.
- Isolated GPU processes — one bot's load never touches another's.
- All server ports closed except a protected SSH tunnel.
- DDoS-resistant by design — the generation endpoint is not publicly reachable.
- Telegram bots make zero outbound API calls; they only talk to Telegram and the GPU.
X (Twitter) agents do use the X API because posting to X requires it. Telegram bots do not.
Why isolation matters
Because each bot is sandboxed, a spike in one community has no effect on yours, and there is no shared surface for an attacker to exploit. The trade-off is cost — full isolation is why dedicated compute is priced above shared compute.
Bots & Channels
Compute, identity, and X agents
Choosing Your Compute
Memescale offers two kinds of compute: shared and dedicated. Shared is cheaper and good for testing and smaller communities; dedicated is faster and unthrottled. Start on shared, move to dedicated when engagement justifies it.
- 1 GPU across 4 projects
- Under 15s — 30s at peak
- Best for testing
- 100% of the GPU
- 5-8s per image, no throttle
- Best for active communities
Compute is the GPU power behind your bot. The plan you pick decides how that GPU is allocated.
| Shared compute | Dedicated compute | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU allocation | One GPU across up to 4 projects | 100% of the GPU, no sharing |
| Speed | Usually under 15s, up to 30s at peak | 5-8s per image |
| Throttling | Round-robin queue at peak | None |
| Best for | Testing and smaller groups | Active communities and X agents |
When to upgrade
Begin on shared compute. It is the cheapest way to confirm the model looks right and your community engages. When the queue starts making generations feel slow — or when you add X or multiple characters — move to dedicated.
Changing compute plans keeps your trained model exactly as it is. Only speed and allocation change.
Bot Identity & Profile
Your bot's username, profile picture, and bio are all yours to set. Telegram profile changes apply instantly from the dashboard; X profile changes are handled manually to avoid shadow bans.
A Memescale bot is a real Telegram or X account with its own identity. You control how it presents itself.
| Platform | Profile changes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram | Apply instantly | Telegram has no automated-edit penalty |
| X (Twitter) | Handled manually by the team | Frequent automated edits risk a shadow ban |
Renaming the bot or swapping its picture never affects the trained character model.
X (Twitter) Agents
An X agent is a Memescale bot that posts to a real X account. The Twitter Combo bundles a verified X account, the X API plan, dedicated compute, and a matching Telegram bot on the same character — all for $499/month.
Twitter Combo bundles a verified account, the required X API plan, dedicated compute, AND a matching Telegram bot into one $499/month price.
What the Twitter Combo includes
- A verified X account for your character.
- The X API plan needed to post automatically.
- Dedicated compute, so posts generate fast.
- A matching Telegram bot running the same character — included.
Every Twitter Combo runs the same character on both X and Telegram. No separate purchase needed.
Plans & Accounts

Plans & Billing
Pricing, billing, and pausing
Plans & Pricing
Memescale has free and paid plans. Every plan generates 1024x1024 images and unlimited volume; paid plans differ on compute, channels, and character count. Multi-character and professional dataset creation are optional add-ons.
| Plan | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Bot | Free | Bring your own bot token, one character |
| Telegram Shared | $99/mo | Your own bot on shared compute |
| Telegram | $299/mo | Your own bot on dedicated compute |
| Twitter Combo | $499/mo | X agent + matching Telegram bot, dedicated |
What is the same on every plan
- 1024x1024 images by default.
- Unlimited generations — no credits.
- A free gallery website.
Add-ons
- Multi-character — add extra characters to a dedicated bot.
- Professional dataset creation — the team prepares your training images for you.
Dedicated plans can generate non-square aspect ratios at no extra cost. Shared plans are fixed at 1024x1024.
Billing & Plan Changes
Billing is monthly and paid manually in cryptocurrency. A 24-hour grace period applies before a bot is paused for non-payment. Plan changes take effect at the next billing cycle.
Grace period
If a payment is late, the bot keeps running for 24 hours. Pay within that window and nothing is interrupted. Miss it and the bot is paused — but never deleted.
Changing plans
Upgrades and downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle, so you always get the full period you paid for. Your trained model carries over unchanged.
If you stop paying entirely, your model is preserved indefinitely and the bot can be reactivated the same day at current pricing.
Pausing & Reactivating
Stopping payment never destroys your work. The trained model is kept indefinitely, and reactivation happens the same day at whatever pricing is current then.
A paused account keeps its trained model and training images. Nothing is deleted for non-payment.
- Stop paying → the bot is paused, the model is archived.
- Want it back → reactivate and the bot is live again the same day.
- Reactivation uses the pricing in effect at that time.
Data is only removed if you explicitly request deletion — see the data retention section.
Account Security
How your account is protected
Account Security
Sessions are cryptographically enforced. Memescale never holds your private keys and never accesses your wallet — payment is the only point of contact with crypto.
- Cryptographic sessions
- Receives the payment you send
- Holds your private keys
- Initiates a transaction
- Sessions are protected by cryptographic proof, not just a password.
- Memescale never stores or sees your wallet private keys.
- The platform never initiates a transaction from your wallet.
Memescale only ever receives a payment you send. It cannot pull funds — there is nothing on our side that could.
Bot Owner Identity
The bot owner is identified by Telegram user_id, not username. At signup, the owner's username is captured and the user_id is bound on first contact. user_id is the authoritative check for owner-only commands like /authorize. Usernames are mutable on Telegram; changing your @handle does not affect ownership because the user_id binding is durable.
