Insy is a platform for **selling access**: run a paid community, gate a Telegram group behind a
subscription, and sell digital products. Nothing to install, no technical setup. These four pages
take you from sign-up to a sale-ready profile, and spell out exactly what Insy keeps when money
comes in.
