Which fits your server?

When to consider Build Discord Bots

Consider Build Discord Bots when stock modules cover your needs. Start with one welcome message or ticket panel. Pro includes three hosted bots, allowing a separate test bot alongside your community bot.

Where BotGhost may be a better fit

BotGhost may be the better fit if you want to design branching commands visually. Its builder documents connected action blocks, input options and conditions, including actions that set variables or send API requests. If that way of building is central to your project, evaluate it directly before choosing a module-based workflow. (BotGhost documentation; as of )

Our Free and Pro plans

Free

$0

1 hosted bot with core modules including welcome, moderation, tickets and logging.

Or $99.90 billed yearly.

Module availability differs from limits within a module. Check current pricing for Free caps; this comparison does not assume every planned cap has rolled out. See current plans and limits.

Before you switch

  1. List each command or event by its intended result, including role restrictions, channels and any stored data it needs.
  2. Match requirements to stock modules. Do not assume another builder’s workflow has an equivalent setting or an automatic import.
  3. Create a test bot, invite it to a test server and verify one useful feature before adding the next. Keep bot tokens private.
  4. Test required Pro modules during the trial. Then choose one Free bot with core modules or Pro with three hosted bots.

Make a Discord bot without coding for a step-by-step setup.
