Which fits your server?
When to consider Build Discord Bots
Consider Build Discord Bots for welcome messages, moderation and tickets on your own bot. Try Pro modules during the 14-day trial. If leveling is essential, budget for Pro afterward: our Leveling module is not part of Free.
Where MEE6 may be a better fit
MEE6 may be the better fit if your community already relies on its Levels plugin and you prefer to continue managing that workflow. Its documented No-XP Roles and No-XP Channels settings let you choose where members earn XP. (MEE6 documentation; as of )

Before you switch
- Write down the welcome channel, greeting text, ticket destinations and level rewards your community actually needs.
- Configure one feature at a time in a test server. Test welcome messages with a new human member joining.
- If you need leveling, test ranks and role rewards during the Pro trial and decide whether to keep Pro before the trial ends.
- Record your existing setup. Do not assume XP, tickets or settings transfer automatically. Disable overlapping greetings before switching.
Set up welcome messages for a step-by-step setup.
