# Discortics vs Invite Tracker: Better Invite-Based Community Rewards

Invite competitions are fun until someone pulls ahead with accounts nobody has seen talk. Now staff have to work out which invites should count, preferably before handing over the prize.

Discortics tracks real, fake and left invites, and lets you use invite requirements alongside other activity checks. Here's how that compares with Invite Tracker.

**TL;DR**

- **Ghost invites don't count:** Accounts younger than seven days count as fake, and leavers come off the real count.
- **No guessing on credit:** When several links could explain a join, staff review it instead of the bot picking one.
- **Reward invites that stick:** Combine real invites with messages, levels and account age in giveaway requirements.
- **Where Invite Tracker shines:** Its growth dashboard and Premium weekly reports suit admins who mainly want reporting.

## A counter is not a growth plan

Invite Tracker is a solid counter, and it does real work:

| Area               | Invite Tracker                                          | Discortics                                                       |
| :----------------- | :------------------------------------------------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Invite attribution | Tracks inviters and invite links                        | Tracks inviter and detected source                               |
| Count breakdown    | Regular, bonus, left, and fake                          | Real, left, fake, total, and source information                  |
| Fake joins         | Account-age checks                                      | Accounts younger than seven days count as fake                   |
| Growth reporting   | Growth dashboard; weekly channel reports marked Premium | Invite statistics alongside server activity statistics           |
| Welcome messages   | Banners, variables, channels, and DMs                   | Welcome messages, embeds, DMs, and inviter context               |
| Support            | Panels, intake forms, claims, and transcripts           | Dedicated ticket panels, questionnaires, claims, and transcripts |

Invite Tracker's growth dashboard and weekly reports (Premium) are worth a look if reporting is your main need. For competitions, you'll also want to decide which invites qualify for rewards.

## Know which invites were real

Discortics splits every count into **real, fake and left**. Any account younger than seven days counts as fake, so a batch of fresh alts doesn't move the leaderboard. People who leave come off the real count, and rejoins get their own handling, so nobody farms the same friend twice.

When several invite links could explain one join, Discortics leaves that attribution for staff to review. It doesn't pick an inviter just to fill the gap.

Tracking, statistics and resets are on every Discortics plan. Turning tracking off keeps the counts, and resetting is a separate action, so you can pause between campaigns without wiping last month's history by accident.

## Reward the invite and what came after

You can also require more than an invite count to qualify for a reward.

Discortics puts invites next to [server activity](/features/statistics), [message and voice levels](/features/levels) and [giveaway requirements](/features/giveaways). So the next competition can say: real invites count, but you also need some messages in general and an account that predates the event. The member who brings three friends who actually hang out in VC now beats the one who brought two hundred ghosts.

Your welcome message can show who invited each new member, so the inviter gets a public shoutout and the newcomer has someone to say hi to. When a prize question comes up, it goes to a [ticket](/features/tickets) instead of your DMs.

## Set the rules before the competition

Start on the [Invite Tracker feature page](/features/invite-tracker) and follow the [setup guide](/guides/invite-tracking). Make an invite, join with a test account and check the attribution before announcing a competition. Totals from another bot don't carry over, so let members know you're starting fresh.
