Turns out that's Premium on MEE6. So is giving XP by hand, the Moderator plugin and custom commands. Discortics includes those tools for free. MEE6 Premium is $11.95 a month per server, so it's worth checking what you actually need before paying. **TL;DR** - **Level roles, free:** MEE6 paywalls role rewards; Discortics gives 20 Message and 20 Voice XP rewards on the free bot. - **Moderation without a subscription:** cases, bans, Autopilot and Anti-Nuke are free, while MEE6 puts its Moderator plugin on Premium. - **Custom stuff included:** 10 custom commands, 3 visual automations, and 4 YouTube, Twitch and Kick alerts each, free. - **Nobody loses their grind:** `/xp set` restores members' old MEE6 levels when you switch. ## The free tier, side by side | Capability | MEE6 (Free) | Discortics (Public — Free) | Discortics (Prime / Custom) | | :--------------------------------------- | :---------------------- | :---------------------------------------- | :------------------------------ | | **Level role rewards** | ❌ Premium only | **✅ 20 Message + 20 Voice (40 total)** | **35–100 per track** | | **Separate Message XP & Voice XP** | Limited | **✅ Independent tracks + `/rank` card** | **✅ Included** | | **Role & channel XP multipliers** | ❌ Premium only | **✅ 5 role + 5 channel** | **10–20 each** | | **Manual XP grant & reset (`/xp set`)** | ❌ Premium (`/give-xp`) | **✅ Included** | **✅ Included** | | **Moderation & AutoMod** | ❌ Premium plugin | **✅ Cases, bans, Autopilot & Anti-Nuke** | **✅ Included** | | **Custom slash & prefix commands** | ❌ Premium only | **✅ 10 custom commands** | **25–50 commands** | | **Visual event & scheduled automations** | ❌ Premium only | **✅ 3 workflows (up to 5 steps)** | **10–25 workflows (10 steps)** | | **Welcome channels & rich embeds** | ❌ Paid / 1 basic | **✅ 3 channels + DM + Components V2** | **10–25 channels** | | **YouTube, Twitch & Kick alerts** | ❌ Paid / 1 feed | **✅ 4 YouTube + 4 Twitch + 4 Kick** | **10–20 per platform** | | **Economy & server shop** | ❌ Premium plugin | **✅ 8 games, 5 shop items, 3 salaries** | **10–20 items, 10–25 salaries** | | **Custom command prefix** | ❌ Premium only | **✅ Included** | **✅ Included** | > **Sources checked** > MEE6 feature availability is based on the official [MEE6 Free vs Premium Plans Comparison](https://help.mee6.xyz/en/articles/710936-mee6-free-vs-premium-plans-comparison) and [MEE6 Levels Plugin documentation](https://help.mee6.xyz/en/articles/616234-how-to-set-up-levels-plugin), checked November 11, 2026. ## Level 10 should feel like level 10 With [Discortics Levels](/features/levels), that member gets their role the second they cross the line, on the free bot. You get **20 role rewards on the Message XP track and 20 on the Voice XP track**, set to stack or replace. Voice XP has its own track, so the people who spend every night in the gaming VC finally show up on the leaderboard too, not just the fast typers. Boosters can level faster with role multipliers. Your bot-command channel can stop inflating ranks with an ignore rule. And if you're moving over from MEE6, `/xp set` puts everyone back at their old level, so nobody loses three years of grinding. ## Stop paying to ban people Paying extra just so you can moderate your own server is the part that stings most. Discortics ships the whole safety stack free: - **[Moderation](/features/moderation):** warns, mutes, timeouts, kicks, bans, numbered cases, lockdowns, slowmode, purges. - **[Autopilot](/features/autopilot):** anti-spam, anti-flood, mass-mention limits, phishing link screening, anti-raid join protection, and a Honeypot channel that catches scam bots for you. - **[Anti-Nuke](/features/anti-nuke):** watches destructive admin actions, applies your configured response and attempts recovery for supported resources. Configure the protections around your server's roles and limits. Anti-Nuke recovery is limited; it can't restore deleted messages. ## The small stuff that makes a server feel alive MEE6 lists custom commands and automations as unavailable on its free plan. On Discortics you get **10 custom commands and 3 visual automations** free: a no-code editor with conditions, delays and random branches, plus run history for when something goes sideways. Running a creator server? **4 YouTube, 4 Twitch and 4 Kick alerts** are free with [Notifications](/features/notifications). You shouldn't need a subscription to tell your community you're live. ## When you do outgrow free Some servers will. If you want higher limits, or a white-labeled bot with your own name and avatar, [Discortics Premium](/premium) costs a fraction of MEE6 and has one-time options as well as monthly plans. Already paying MEE6? Ask support about a **switching discount** before you check out. ## Try a reward role first 1. Invite Discortics from the [Levels](/features/levels) page. 2. Rebuild your role rewards in **Dashboard → Levels** ([setup guide](/guides/level)). 3. Turn on [Welcome](/features/welcome), [Tickets](/features/tickets) and [Autopilot](/features/autopilot) while you're there. Check the role rewards with a test member before enabling them for everyone. Competitor references were checked on November 11, 2026. Features and pricing can change.
