When to consider Build Discord Bots
Consider Build Discord Bots for moderation, welcome messages, tickets and logging on your own bot. Free includes manual Moderation. For automatic filtering, test Automod during the trial and budget for Pro afterward.
Where Dyno may be a better fit
Dyno may be the better fit if your moderation team wants to keep its existing Dyno command workflow. Its documented Moderator Roles, Protected Roles and moderation log channel support that setup. Continuing with a familiar configuration may be preferable to retraining moderators and rechecking permissions. (Dyno documentation; as of )

Before you switch
- Record the moderation actions your team uses, who may run them, where logs go and which roles must be protected.
- In a test server, check the new bot's role position and channel permissions. Test both an authorized moderator and a member who should be denied.
- If using Automod, test one filter and its exemptions before enabling additional rules. Avoid running overlapping punishment automations during the switch.
- Retain records you need. Do not assume moderation cases or warnings transfer; agree on a handover date with your team.
Set up message logging for a step-by-step setup.
