# Discortics vs ProBot: The Better Community Management Bot

The welcome card looks good. Then you open staff applications in #apply and get a mix of proper answers, "me" and DMs. Now someone has to sort it all out.

Discortics has Applications and Tickets alongside the welcome and moderation tools. ProBot's docs cover image greetings, moderation and protection, self-assignable roles, and social notifications. Here's what to compare if recruiting and support are part of the job too.

**TL;DR**

- **Hiring without the #apply mess:** 7 free application forms with 20 questions each, reviewed right in Discord.
- **Private help has a home:** Tickets handle reports, appeals and questions so they stay out of general.
- **New members stick around:** Levels, Economy and activity-gated Giveaways reward the people who stay.
- **Test before you switch:** run a welcome, self-role panel, mod rule and application form on both bots.

Source: [ProBot's official introduction](https://docs.probot.io/docs/intro), checked November 12, 2026. The table summarizes that overview rather than claiming undocumented features are unavailable. Discortics details are in the [feature directory](/features).

## Hire mods without the #apply mess

Rewind to that announcement. With [Applications](/features/applications), the owner posts a form instead of a channel. Every applicant answers the same questions, written or multiple choice, with file uploads when you need them. Staff approve or deny right in Discord, and every answer is in one place.

Free gives you **7 forms with 20 questions each**. One for mods, one for partners, one for event helpers, each with its own requirements. Nobody reads 64 messages to find a timezone again.

When a member needs a private conversation instead, a report, an appeal, a billing question for your shop, that's what [Tickets](/features/tickets) is for. Structured answers go to Applications, ongoing back-and-forth goes to Tickets, and neither ends up in general.

## Give the new members a reason to stay

A great welcome card gets someone through the door. Keeping them is a different job. [Levels](/features/levels) rewards message and voice activity, so the VC regulars get recognized too. [Economy](/features/economy) adds server currency, dailies, work and a shop. [Giveaways](/features/giveaways) can require activity, so your milestone prize goes to people who stuck around rather than accounts that joined for it.

Levels, currency and events give people things to do after they join. They also give staff more to go on when the next recruitment round comes around.

All of it sits in one dashboard next to moderation, with each module's rules kept separate.

## Test it on your own checklist

Don't switch on a feature name. Pick four jobs: a welcome message, a self-role panel, one moderation rule, and one application form. Run them on the plan you'd actually use, and see which bot handles all four.

Then post your next hiring announcement with a form link instead of a channel. Start with the [Applications guide](/guides/applications), set up [Welcome](/features/welcome) and [Moderation](/features/moderation), or read [Discortics vs Sapphire](/blogs/discortics-vs-sapphire) for another configurable moderation option.
