YAGPDB is the power user's bot. Its custom commands accept starts with, contains, exact match and regex triggers and run on a template scripting language with database access, which lets experienced owners build small games, ticket flows or moderation tools inside Discord. The automoderator can mute, kick or ban after a set number of violations in a set timeframe, role menus support groups and single or multiple modes, and feeds cover Reddit within about a minute plus YouTube, Twitch and RSS. The project is open source, so owners who want full control can host their own copy. Premium slots come as a perk of supporting BotLabs' YAGPDB on Patreon and raise limits sharply, for example from 100 to 500 custom commands and from 25 to 150 automod rules. We could not confirm a USD price on a vendor page, so pricing is pending. The cost of all this power is effort: expect to spend time in the docs.
Who it is for
Technical server owners who want scriptable custom commands, or the option to self-host.
Price
Free; premium slots are a perk of the BotLabs YAGPDB Patreon. See vendor pricing (USD check pending).
