Staff applications in Google Forms, partnership requests in DMs, event signups somewhere else. Keeping track gets annoying pretty quickly.
Discortics gives you 7 free application forms, so those can each have their own questions. Appy's free plan gives you two. Let's look at what else you get with each.
TL;DR
- Every applicant gets their own form: 7 free forms with 20 questions each, versus Appy's 2 and 10.
- Junk answers bounce, free: regex validation and file-upload questions included without paying.
- Share the review load: 2 Application Manager roles per form free; manager roles are paid on Appy.
- Know the limit: dashboard response browsing and export need Prime or Custom.

Appy limits and plan distinctions come from its official plan comparison, checked November 12, 2026. Its form overview documents written and multiple-choice questions. Discortics limits are detailed on the Applications page. Paid plans on both bots add capacity and tools; compare those separately if you need more than the free allowance.
Give every kind of applicant their own door
Seven free forms means moderators, partners, creators, event helpers and membership requests each get a form with its own questions and its own review flow. Nobody applying to run your events has to answer "how would you handle a raid?"
Twenty questions is enough to ask about timezone, availability, past experience and how they'd handle a real scenario, without trimming the questions that actually tell you something. Multiple choice keeps the screening quick. File uploads let a designer attach their portfolio or a mod applicant attach a screenshot, instead of pasting a link that expires.
Filter out the noise before it reaches you
You know the applicant. Account made yesterday, joined an hour ago, zero messages, applying for admin. Discortics lets each form require a minimum account age, server age, level, message count, voice time or invite count before the DM session even starts. Your staff form can be strict while your event signup stays open to everyone.
Regex validation, free here and paid on Appy, catches junk answers at the source: a malformed in-game ID or a date in the wrong format gets rejected before it's submitted.
Decide fast, and let others help
Applicants answer step by step in DMs. The finished application lands in your log channel with Accept and Deny buttons, role actions fire on the decision (up to 3 per action type on free), and the applicant gets a DM with the result. No more "did you ever look at my app?"
You don't have to review alone either. Each form can name 2 Application Manager roles on the free bot, so a trusted senior mod can handle partner apps without getting access to your whole dashboard. On Appy, manager roles are paid.
Free servers review through those Discord logs. Prime and Custom add dashboard response browsing and CSV or JSON export. Start with the Applications guide and form setup guide.
After hiring, the bot keeps working
Appy also offers tickets, giveaways and verification, so it isn't a single-purpose form bot. Discortics puts applications beside moderation, Autopilot, levels and economy, plus tickets and giveaways. The mod you just accepted works in the same dashboard you recruited them through.
Retire the Google Form
Build one real form, submit a test application yourself, and have a staff member review it before you point applicants at the new panel. Recreate your questions, role actions and requirements on purpose; switching bots doesn't carry old submissions over.
