I Built a GroupMe Bot That Automatically Tracks Sales & Generates Leaderboards

I Built a Hosted GroupMe Bot to Automate Large Groups

Managing a large GroupMe chat sounds simple until it isn’t.

Once groups grow, admins deal with spam, command handling, user limits, and moderation manually. Most existing bots either require self-hosting, unreliable scripts, or abandoned projects.

So I built GroupMeBot.com — a fully hosted GroupMe bot designed for scale, reliability, and ease of use.

Why I Built It

I manage and participate in large GroupMe communities where:

  • Moderation had to be manual
  • Commands were inconsistent
  • Bots required running a server or localhost
  • Scaling meant rewriting everything

I wanted something hosted, predictable, and built specifically for admins — not hobby scripts.

What It Does

GroupMeBot connects directly to the GroupMe API and runs entirely on the backend.

Core capabilities include:

  • Automated commands
  • Admin-only actions
  • User limits per group
  • Spam and abuse controls
  • Designed to scale with large groups

There’s no self-hosting, no exposed ports, and no setup beyond configuration.

How It Works

From a technical standpoint:

  • Secure HTTPS polling to the GroupMe API
  • Runs 24/7 without admin intervention
  • No localhost, no inbound listeners
  • Centralized backend management

The goal was stability over gimmicks.

Pricing Model

All plans include a $250 one-time setup fee to configure and deploy the bot.

Monthly pricing scales based on features and group size:

  1. $150 per month — Smaller groups, limited perks
  2. $275 per month — Mid-sized groups, expanded features
  3. $300 per month — Large groups, highest limits and priority support

One included perk across plans is support for up to 25 users, with higher tiers expanding limits.

Who It’s For

This bot is a good fit if you:

  • Run large or paid GroupMe communities
  • Need automation without technical overhead
  • Want a hosted solution, not a DIY script
  • Care about uptime and reliability

It’s not designed for people who want to self-host or heavily modify source code.

If you manage GroupMe groups and automation has become a bottleneck, this is the tool I built to solve that exact problem.
