No bot here does everything. None of these picks is chosen for music, so most servers that want music still add a separate music bot. For the core jobs (welcomes, roles, moderation, leveling, tickets and security) on one free plan, PeakBot and Vetox cover the most, and Sapphire has the cheapest published upgrade. Dyno and Carl-bot are well-known all-rounders, but both put leveling behind Premium.
Checked on each bot's own site or docs on 2026-11-03. We make PeakBot. Nobody paid to be in this post.
How we chose
An all-in-one bot should replace three or four single-purpose bots. We ranked on four things, in this order:
- Free core coverage. Do welcome messages, role automation, auto moderation, leveling and tickets work on the free plan?
- Security. Is there anti-nuke, anti-raid or backups? A bot with admin permissions should help protect the server, not just decorate it.
- Price clarity. Is the per-server price published where you can read it?
- Gaps. What would you still need another bot for?
We used only what each bot publishes on its own site or docs. Where we do not have a confirmed number, we link to the bot's own page instead of guessing.
1. PeakBot
We make PeakBot, so weigh this placement with that in mind. It ranks first here because of how much of the core list is on the free plan, not because it covers everything.
The free plan has 30+ features with no time limit and no expiry. On free you get welcome and goodbye messages (plain text or embed, in a channel), auto roles on join, self-assign roles and if/then role rules, verification with an auto-kick for anyone who never verifies, an invite tracker, message XP with level roles, polls, giveaways, tickets with transcripts, temporary voice channels, auto moderation (anti-spam, invite filter, link filter, word filter, mention spam), logging, anti-nuke and anti-raid, one daily backup, and analytics. The AI Server Builder is free to try, with full use on Pro.
Starter ($5.75/month or $48/year per server) adds voice XP, welcome images and DMs, a custom bot profile, the caps filter, ticket auto-close and more backups. Pro ($8.25/month or $69/year) adds AI moderation, full use of the AI Server Builder, and giveaway role requirements and scheduling. Agency ($20.75/month) covers up to 100 servers on one bill.
Gaps: no music, no economy or currency, no stream or go-live alerts. Setup happens on the web dashboard, not through commands, which some admins prefer and some do not. ProBot's yearly Premium is cheaper than PeakBot's yearly Starter, and YAGPDB's scripting goes further for custom commands.
Pick PeakBot if: you want moderation, security, leveling, tickets and welcomes on one free plan and do not need music or an economy. Docs are at the PeakBot wiki.
2. Vetox
Vetox has one of the broadest published free lists: fixed-rate leveling, reaction roles, plain-text welcomes, tickets (200 open per server), temporary voice, giveaways, logging and pattern automod. Basic is $4.99/month. AI moderation and AI server tools need the Black plan at $17.99/month.
It sits just behind PeakBot here because free welcomes are plain text and leveling is fixed-rate, and security tools are not on its published free list. Its Basic tier is cheaper per month than PeakBot Starter.
Pick Vetox if: you want a wide free list and a low-cost first paid tier, and plain-text welcomes are fine.
3. Sapphire
Sapphire keeps its core features free with limits, and the Limit Increase upgrade is $2.99/month per server. That is the cheapest published monthly upgrade among the general all-in-one bots here. Check its site for the current feature list and where the free limits sit.
Pick Sapphire if: the free tier covers you and you want the smallest monthly bill if you outgrow the limits.
4. ProBot
ProBot has welcome images, leveling, tickets and temporary voice channels. Premium Tier 1 is $40/year per server and Tier 2 is $80/year. Tier 1 is the cheapest yearly price among the bots here that publish one.
Pick ProBot if: you plan to pay yearly anyway and want welcome images and leveling in one place.
5. Dyno
Dyno is a long-running moderation-first bot. Tickets and transcripts became a free module on 29 May 2026. Levels launched on 11 December 2025 as a Premium feature. Free servers get 3 reaction roles, and Premium raises that. Prices are on its upgrade page.
Pick Dyno if: moderation and free tickets matter most and you do not need free leveling.
6. Carl-bot
Carl-bot is popular for reaction roles, logging and automod. Leveling and level role rewards need Premium, which is $7.99/month for one server ($12.99 for 2, $16.99 for 3, $24.99 for 5). Those multi-server bundles are useful if you run a handful of servers.
Pick Carl-bot if: you want its role and logging tools and are happy to pay for leveling.
7. MEE6
MEE6 is the name many people know first. Its own free-vs-Premium comparison (16 June 2026) marks XP and Levels, Welcome and Goodbye messages, Reaction Roles (up to 40 on Premium), Temporary channels and Moderation as Premium. Transcripts of deleted tickets are Premium too. Prices are on its Premium page.
Pick MEE6 if: you already use it, your team knows it, and you are fine paying for Premium.
8. YAGPDB
YAGPDB is less polished but very flexible. The free plan includes 25 automod rules (150 on Premium) and a custom-command scripting engine. It suits admins who like building their own behaviour more than toggling ready-made modules.
Pick YAGPDB if: you want custom commands and scripted automation and are comfortable writing them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a completely free all-in-one Discord bot?
Several bots keep the core free. PeakBot's free plan has 30+ features with no expiry, Vetox's free list covers leveling, tickets, temp voice and giveaways, and Sapphire keeps core features free with limits. Expect premium extras like voice XP, welcome images or AI moderation to cost money on most of them.
Does any all-in-one bot include music?
PeakBot has no music features, and none of the picks here was chosen for music. Most servers run a dedicated music bot alongside their all-in-one bot.
Can I run two all-in-one bots at the same time?
Yes, but turn off overlapping modules. Two bots both sending welcome messages or both filtering spam will double up or fight over actions. Give each bot a clear job.
Which all-in-one bot is cheapest to upgrade?
Among published prices, Sapphire's Limit Increase is $2.99/month and ProBot Tier 1 is $40/year. PeakBot Starter is $48/year, and Vetox Basic is $4.99/month.
Do I still need a separate security bot?
If your all-in-one bot has no anti-nuke, a security bot like Wick fills that role, though its anti-raid, extended anti-nuke and backups are on Premium. PeakBot includes anti-nuke, anti-raid and a daily backup on free, so many servers using it skip a second security bot.
Is MEE6 still a good all-in-one bot?
It works, and many teams know it. The catch is that its own comparison lists leveling, welcomes, reaction roles, temporary channels and moderation as Premium, so the free plan covers less than the bots ranked above it here.
