# Discortics vs Mimu: A Better Economy for Your Whole Server

Mimu for the economy, another bot for levels, another for tickets. It works, but staff have a few dashboards to keep up with.

Discortics puts those tools in one bot. If you're thinking of moving your economy over, here's what changes and what you'll need to set up again.

**TL;DR**

- **One fewer bot:** Economy sits next to levels, giveaways, tickets and moderation in one dashboard.
- **Tune it without commands:** Set reward ranges, work cooldown and transfer tax from the dashboard.
- **A focused shop, free:** 5 shop items on the free plan, 10 on Prime, 20 on Custom.
- **What Mimu keeps:** Petting and snuggling commands aren't copied, and balances don't transfer automatically.

## What each one actually covers

| Area                    | Mimu                                                     | Discortics                                                      |
| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Server currency         | Customizable per-server currency                         | Server currency with a configurable emoji                       |
| Earning                 | Petting, snuggling, currency pickups, and other commands | Daily rewards, work, beg, search, and crime                     |
| Shop                    | Items with prices, stock, and optional role rewards      | Custom shop items, inventory, and role rewards                  |
| Staff configuration     | Currency settings and shop slash commands                | Dashboard and Discord settings                                  |
| Broader community setup | Currency-focused workflows documented by Mimu            | Economy alongside levels, applications, tickets, and moderation |

Mimu's petting and snuggling commands have charm, and we won't pretend Discortics copies them. What Discortics gives you is daily rewards, work, beg, search and crime, plus a currency emoji you pick, so your sparkle or your flower still shows up on every balance.

## Change rewards from the dashboard

On [Discortics Economy](/features/economy) you set the daily and work reward ranges, the work cooldown and a transfer tax from the dashboard. No more scrolling old messages trying to remember which shop command you ran last month. Members spend from their wallet on purchases and games and keep savings in a separate bank, so there's a reason to hold onto coins.

The free plan has **5 shop items**, and Prime and Custom raise it to 10 and 20. Honestly, five is a good start. A short shop of things people want, like a color role, VIP channel access or an event perk, beats thirty items nobody buys.

## Coins and levels are not the same thing

Here's where one bot really helps. A balance tells you what someone earned or spent. XP tells you who actually shows up. Discortics runs both [Economy](/features/economy) and [Levels](/features/levels), so your shop sells the fun roles while your regulars still earn their rank roles by being around. Nobody gets to buy "Server Veteran".

Add [Giveaways](/features/giveaways) for events and [Tickets](/features/tickets) for "I bought a role and didn't get it" questions, and they're all in the same bot and the same dashboard as your shop.

## Plan the move first

Balances, inventories and custom interactions don't transfer from Mimu automatically. Tell members what will happen to old balances before opening the new shop, and write down the reward policy. A reset is much easier to explain before it happens.

## Try a small shop

Set up [Discortics Economy](/features/economy) with three or four shop items, use the [setup guide](/guides/economy) to tune rewards, and run it for a week. If it holds up, that's one fewer bot in your member list, and one fewer dashboard for your mods to babysit.
