The right Statbot alternative depends on which Statbot feature you used. ServerStats is the simplest swap for counter channels, Discord's built-in Server Insights covers growth and engagement charts for Community servers over 500 members, ActivityRank pairs activity statistics with XP and roles, Arcane adds statistic channels to a leveling bot, and PeakBot's analytics fit servers that want stats inside an all-in-one bot. None of them copies Statbot's full dashboard, so match the tool to the job.
Facts below come from each tool's own documentation, support article or Discord App Directory listing, checked in October 2026. Server counts are the App Directory's figures, rounded.
What Statbot does
Statbot's App Directory listing sums it up: "Top server stats & analytics bot", with charts and graphs, channel counters, auto roles and a web dashboard. It is listed in about 919,000 servers. Its three main parts are:
- The dashboard. Message and voice activity across members and channels, shown as charts and top tables.
- Statdocks. Counter channels that show a number, such as member count, in a channel name.
- Statroles. Roles that are added or removed automatically based on activity.
Statbot sells premium as pick-and-choose upgrades with stacking discounts, according to its documentation:
| Upgrade | What it adds |
|---|---|
| History | Access to data older than 30 days across all features |
| Data+ | Role filters, activity stats, heatmaps, inverted Statrole conditions |
| Drilldowns | CSV exports, unlimited members in top tables, analytics and member or channel drilldown pages |
| Statroles+ | No Statrole limits, multi-condition Statroles, custom scheduling and notifications |
| Statdocks+ | 7 more counter types, including YouTube subscriber and Instagram follower counts |
Why people look for a Statbot alternative
- The free window is 30 days. Looking further back needs the History upgrade, and exports or heatmaps need others.
- They only wanted a counter. Some servers add Statbot just for a member count channel, and a dedicated counter bot is simpler for that.
- They want stats without another bot. Discord now has its own Server Insights for qualifying servers.
- They want stats next to leveling or moderation. Some owners would rather read activity in the same bot that rewards it.

ServerStats (for counters)
ServerStats shows off your member, channel, role, emoji, boost and goal counts through channels, and its listing says those channels are fully customizable. Its site calls it the biggest stats bot on Discord, trusted by more than 3.5 million servers.
Best for: servers that used Statbot's Statdocks and nothing else. Our Statbot vs ServerStats comparison goes deeper on the differences.
Trade-off: counters are numbers in channel names, not analysis. ServerStats describes itself as a counter bot, so do not expect Statbot-style per-member or per-channel charts.
Discord Server Insights (built in, no bot)
Discord has its own analytics. According to its Server Insights FAQ, it is available to Community servers with more than 500 members and is controlled by a permission called View Server Insights. It shows:
- Growth and Activation: where new members come from, whether they manage to talk, and how many stay
- Engagement: how many people are talking and which channels get used most
- Audience: where members are from and how long they have been in the server
- Announcement Channels and Welcome Screen analytics, if you use them
You open it from the server menu, from Server Settings, or at discord.com/developers/servers. Discord groups small numbers into "Other" for privacy, for example countries or referrers with fewer than 50 members in a range. Discord still labels Server Insights an alpha feature.
Best for: Community servers over 500 members that want retention and growth data without adding a bot. Trade-off: Discord describes charts, not counters or activity roles, and smaller servers do not qualify. Our explainer on Server Insights vs analytics bots covers when each makes sense.
ActivityRank (stats plus XP)
ActivityRank is "a lightweight and easy to use level, XP, role and statistics bot". Its FAQ lists what it tracks: text messages, voice time, invites and likes, plus bonus points that admins can give or take. Stats reset on daily, weekly and monthly cycles, and members get roles automatically at the levels you set. Its code is public on GitHub. It is listed in about 126,000 servers.
Best for: servers that used Statbot to see who is active and want to reward that activity in the same bot, close to what Statroles do.
Trade-off: check that its stats views cover what you used Statbot's charts for before you switch.
Arcane (leveling plus statistic channels)
Arcane is a leveling bot first, and its listing also mentions statistic channels alongside logging and reaction roles. Its website describes member count channels among its features. It is listed in about 3.09 million servers.
Best for: servers that want a member counter and leveling from one bot instead of two.
PeakBot (analytics in an all-in-one bot)
PeakBot's Analytics page shows growth and activity: top communicators, top voice users, busiest channels and lifetime voice time. Analytics is on the free plan, next to the rest of the bot's moderation, leveling, tickets and welcome tools, and its Invite Tracker records who invited whom.
Best for: small and mid-size servers that want a quick read on who is active without running a separate stats bot.
Trade-off: it does not try to match Statbot's depth. There are no counter channels, heatmaps or CSV exports. If those are what you use Statbot for, keep Statbot or add ServerStats. The full PeakBot feature list shows what the analytics page covers.
Which one should you pick?
- You only used member count channels: ServerStats, or Arcane if you also want leveling.
- You want growth and retention data, and qualify: Discord Server Insights.
- You used Statroles to reward activity: ActivityRank, or a leveling bot with level roles.
- You use heatmaps, long history or CSV exports: stay on Statbot and buy only the upgrade you need. Its modular pricing means you do not have to pay for everything.
- You want fewer bots: an all-in-one bot with an analytics page.
A note on counter channels
Counter channels work by renaming a channel, so they refresh on an interval rather than the instant someone joins. Statbot's documentation, for example, lists on-the-minute updates as part of its paid Statdocks+ upgrade. If a counter looks stuck, give it a few minutes before assuming the bot is broken. Our list of member count and stats bots covers more counter options.
FAQ
Is Statbot free?
Yes, the core bot is free. Statbot's documentation sells premium as separate upgrades, and data older than 30 days requires the History upgrade.
Does Discord have built-in server stats?
Yes. Server Insights is built into Discord for Community servers with more than 500 members. People with the View Server Insights permission can see growth, engagement and audience data.
What is the best Statbot alternative for a member counter?
ServerStats. Counter channels are its main job, and it supports member, channel, role, emoji, boost and goal counts.
Can I see who is most active without Statbot?
Yes. ActivityRank tracks messages, voice time and invites per member, and Discord's Server Insights shows how many people are talking and which channels they use, if your server qualifies.
Why is my member count channel not updating?
Counter bots refresh channel names on an interval rather than instantly. Wait a few minutes, then check the bot still has permission to manage that channel.
