9 Best Discord Moderation Bots of 2026

MEE6 is a Discord bot that brings moderation, automations, custom commands, reaction roles, tickets, welcome and goodbye messages, XP and levels, giveaways, polls, an economy system and social alerts into one place. The main catch is the free plan. It leaves out moderation, automations, custom commands, welcome messages, XP and levels and the economy plugin, and keeps only a search command, one reminder, achievements and starboard. Everything else sits in MEE6 Premium, which costs $11.99 per month or $89.99 once for lifetime access. The yearly plan is listed at $143.88 and is currently promoted at $24.99 for the first year, then $49.99. Premium raises the limits to 50 automations, 500 custom commands, 40 reaction roles, 500 embed messages and 100 temporary channels. Social alerts cover Reddit, Twitch, X, YouTube, RSS, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, Kick and podcasts. Yearly and lifetime plans also include Bot Personalizer. A 7-day refund period applies, but it is not a free trial. One subscription covers a single server, and MEE6 Pro (rank card perks for a user account) and AI services are sold separately. Choose MEE6 if you want one bot to run moderation and engagement on a server and are ready to pay for Premium.

Sapphire is a multi-purpose Discord bot from Xge Development, described as fully customizable and completely free. For moderation it offers case management, reason aliases and customizable DM notifications. Auto moderation has 10+ modules, punishes users based on conditions, and can add actions to Discord's own AutoMod. Logging covers 80+ log types, with options to ignore users, roles or channels. It also handles self-assignable roles, keyword-triggered messages, and Twitch, YouTube and TikTok notifications. Every message can be edited in a built-in editor, and setup runs through a web dashboard. The free bot has no published feature limits, and no paid tiers of the bot itself are listed. The only paid option is Custom Branding, a separate add-on that gives a dedicated bot with your own name and avatar. It costs €5.00 per month for under 1,000 members, rising to €15.00 per month above 100,000 members, with yearly billing from €55.00 to €165.00. The main catch is that branding costs extra and the custom bot initially works in only the selected server. Pick Sapphire if you want deep moderation, logging and notifications without paying.

Dyno is a Discord bot that combines moderation with server management, controlled from a web dashboard at dyno.gg. Setup is self-serve: pick the server, open the Modules tab, enable a module and configure its settings. The vendor says it is used on over 11.6 million servers. The free plan covers Automod, Starboard and Tickets, with caps such as 25 custom commands, 10 autoresponders, 3 active giveaways, 3 forms, 3 reaction role menus, 3 autoroles, 1 autodelete, 1 automessage and 1 autoban per rule. Standard costs $4.17 per month billed as $49.99 per year and adds Advanced Automod, Advanced Starboard, Levels, Autopurge, Slowmode, Voice-Text Linking and unlimited commands and modules. Premium is $5.00 per month billed as $59.99 per year and adds Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and Kick integrations. Custom is $8.33 per month billed as $99.99 per year and gives a hosted bot with your own username, avatar and status, plus higher performance and uptime. The main catch is that each paid plan covers one server of your choice, so costs multiply across several servers. The prices shown are annual billing, and the page does not show a separate monthly billing price. Dyno suits communities that can work within the free limits or pay for a single server.

ProBot is a multipurpose Discord bot from the publisher ProBot. Moderation is one part of a wider toolkit that also covers welcome images, embed messages, self-assignable roles, a leveling system, social commands, detailed logs and a new Tickets module. Some message detection options run on Discord AutoMod, and everything is configured in a web dashboard after you invite the bot with Administrator or Manage Server permission. The free plan covers the core bot, but ProBot does not publish a full feature list or numeric limits for it. Prices for the separate Silver, Gold and Diamond memberships are not published either. Premium Tier 1 costs $5 per month and adds Advanced Protection, More Variables, Executioner in logs and Unban everyone. Premium Tier 2 costs $10 per month and includes everything in Tier 1 plus Anti-Raid and a custom bot with its own username, avatar and status. Annual billing currently carries a 50% discount. The main catch is scope. Each subscription covers one server, only one premium bot can be used per server, there is no free trial, and downgrading removes all premium features. Anti-Raid sits behind the more expensive tier. Pick ProBot if you want moderation and community features in a single bot and are happy to pay per server.

Wick is a Discord moderation, security and utility bot that you add to a server and manage from a web dashboard. The free plan covers a lot: Anti-Nuke monitoring of channels, roles, bans, kicks and webhooks, an Auto Moderator with configurable heat limits for messages, images and spam, Captcha, web or instant verification, a Join Gate that can timeout, kick or ban joiners, Auto Server Lockdown, slash and prefix moderation commands, and activity logs. Individual commands have stated limits, such as slowmode from 1 second to 6 hours and purge capped at 1000 messages per command. Premium adds Anti-Raid against bot raids and scam waves, extended Anti-Nuke with webhook and member-prune tracking, server backups, customizable verification, Panic Modes, Strict Mode and the full Join Raid system. The base Premium subscription covers 1 server, with additional plans for multiple servers. Wick does not publish Premium prices on the pages reviewed, so confirm the cost with the vendor before budgeting. The main catch is that Anti-Raid, backups and Strict Mode need Premium, and Wick asks for ADMIN permission with setup limited to users at permit level 4 or 5. Wick suits community owners who want free anti-nuke and verification tools and can pay for raid defense on a small number of servers.

YAGPDB, short for Yet Another General Purpose Discord Bot, is a configurable bot from Botlabs for running a Discord server. Moderation covers kick, ban, advanced message cleaning, timed mutes and bans, warnings, a modlog and message logs. The automoderator can mute, kick or ban after a set number of violations within a timeframe. It also offers custom commands with starts with, contains, exact match or regex triggers, self-assignable roles with role menus, and Reddit, YouTube, Twitch and RSS feeds. The free plan includes 100 custom commands, 25 automod rules, a 1 hour modlog cache, 10 YouTube feeds, 3 Twitch feeds and 2 RSS feeds. Premium raises these to 500 custom commands, 150 automod rules, a 12 hour modlog cache, 250 YouTube feeds and 15 Twitch feeds. It also adds a custom bot avatar and banner, bulk role assignment, threaded tickets and an appeal-ban button. Premium is sold through a Discord subscription or Patreon, but its price is not published, so confirm it before budgeting. The main catch is that the free caps are tight for large servers, and the Terms describe the service as currently free for personal and non-commercial use. Pick it if you want detailed automod rules at no cost, or want the option to self-host the open-source code with Docker or bare metal.

Carl-bot is a customizable, modular, multi-purpose Discord bot, and its documentation describes it as open source. It covers moderation, automod, logging, welcome messages, reaction roles, suggestions, user engagement and custom commands. Moderation setup uses commands such as /reportchannel #reports to set a report channel, reaction roles start with /reactionrole make or @Carl-bot rr make, and sticky messages are managed from the Carl-bot Dashboard. The documentation lists concrete limits: 1 sticky message per channel, up to 15 sticky messages per server, up to 25 saved templates, and durations from 1 minute to 365 days. Premium is a subscription referenced through Patreon and is described as enabling increased limits and premium features. Pricing is the weak spot for a buyer: the vendor pages do not describe a free plan, and the regular Premium price, currency and billing period are not published. The main catch is that you must confirm the cost yourself and learn a mix of slash commands, prefix commands and dashboard pages to configure everything. Carl-bot suits Discord server owners who want one modular bot for moderation, roles and logging and will read the documentation, starting with the Getting Started guide, to set it up.

Fire is an all-in-one Discord bot that pairs moderation with server utilities. Its moderation tools cover moderator configuration, moderation, action and member logging, command restrictions, link filters, appeals and public server listings, all set up through slash commands such as /moderators add and /linkfilter toggle. The homepage shows 4.8K servers, 3.9M users and 146 commands. The free version includes those moderation tools, autorole for every server and a free vanity URL for each server. Limits are 20 tags, 5 links per quote message, 5 extra messages for iterable quotes, 5 custom embeds and one role whose permissions sync to all channels by default. Fire+ costs €5 per month or €40 per year on the website, and each additional server is €1.50 per month or €12 per year. It lifts the tag and permission role limits (Discord still caps both at 100), raises quotes and embeds to 10, and adds invite roles, voice channel roles, vanity URL statistics, Minecraft Java log scanning and faster support. The main catch is price consistency: buying through Discord costs $9.99 per month for the main bot, and the Fire Premium plan mentioned in the docs has no published price. Fire suits server owners who want free moderation logging and link filtering and only need Fire+ for higher limits.

Zeppelin is a private moderation bot for Discord, built with large servers and reliability in mind. It covers the usual moderation actions: warnings, mutes, kicks, bans, message cleaning, user lookups and infraction records. It also offers automated moderation, detailed logging, reaction roles, starboards, self-grantable roles and persistence of roles or nicknames. The bot is split into plugins that you enable or disable one by one, each with its own configuration. Setup happens in the web dashboard by editing a YAML configuration file. By default only the server owner can open it, though the owner can grant access to others. A typical moderation setup means defining a moderator role ID, giving it permission level 50 and enabling the mod_actions plugin. Permission levels run roughly from 0 to 100, with administrators at 100. The default command prefix is ! and can be changed per server. The main catch is access: the bot is private and access is granted case by case, so it is not a simple public invite. The site does not publish a free plan, paid plans or prices, so ask before budgeting. The YAML approach rewards admins who want precise control but takes more effort than a simple settings panel. Zeppelin suits large communities with technical admins who can get approved for access.
