Vetox vs Dyno

The distinction that decides which bot you need

Both bots moderate. The decision is made by where each draws its paid line, and the two answers are far apart.

Dyno puts Tickets and Levels behind its Standard tier at $49.99 a year. Those are the two systems a server reaches for immediately after moderation.

Vetox includes both on its free Starter tier — levelling with no role-reward cap, and tickets at three panels and 200 concurrent — inside 41 server systems against Dyno’s roughly nine, in 21 languages, with a documented public API.

For a server whose requirement is levelling and a ticket system, that is $49.99 a year against nothing, and it decides the comparison on its own.

How this comparison was built

Dyno’s prices and tier contents are read from its own premium page. Vetox’s from its published documentation and per-tier feature limits. Both checked 30 August 2026. Ranked on free-tier depth, system breadth, localisation and programmatic access — not on install count.

Price

Comparable at entry. The difference is what the entry tier is buying.

One caveat on Dyno’s figures: on the day we checked, Standard and Premium displayed the same $49.99/year price. That may be a display state rather than a real change, so treat the split between those two tiers as unconfirmed.

The paywall line

This is the substance of the comparison.

Dyno’s Standard tier contains Tickets and Levels, along with Advanced AutoMod, Advanced Starboard, Autopurge, Slowmode and Voice-Text Linking. Premium adds Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and Kick integrations. Custom adds a custom avatar, username and status.

Vetox’s free tier contains levelling and tickets — three ticket panels, 200 concurrent tickets, 25 auto-replies, 10 embed messages, one starboard — plus every one of its 40 games. Its Basic tier adds Anti-Raid, embed messages, sticky and delayed roles, colour panels, Battle Pass, the notification integrations, and most of the ticket and application depth.

The free-tier gap compounds rather than sitting still. A server that starts on Dyno’s free tier and grows into wanting tickets pays $49.99 for the pair; the same server on Vetox has already been running both, with its ticket history and levelling data accumulated rather than started late.

The comparison

What Vetox does well

The two systems servers want most are free. Levelling with no role-reward cap and a ticket system at 200 concurrent, on Starter — which is the whole $49.99 tier, at no cost.

Breadth is not close. 41 server systems: moderation, automod, anti-raid, protection, logs, levelling, XP events, giveaways, suggestions, starboard, counting, games, prize matches, battle pass, streaks, auto-roles, self-roles, colours, temp voice, embed and sticky messages, auto-responder, auto-interactions, reminders, tickets, applications, welcomer, server stats, backup, access control, dashboard watcher, support sessions, and AI moderation and server control.

Applications, battle pass, streaks, backup, temp voice, counting, prize matches, access control and AI moderation have no Dyno equivalent at any tier — so a server wanting any of them is otherwise adding a second bot, a second dashboard and a second subscription.

21 languages across bot and dashboard, the widest localisation of the bots compared, against an English-first interface. That is the pairing that matters: a translated bot with an English-only dashboard leaves the configuration surface foreign to the person using it most.

A public developer API. Nine documented API-key endpoints, five scopes, webhook signature verification and a published npm SDK on a public registry, inside a documented 494-path REST surface. Dyno offers no equivalent.

Worth being accurate about the wider field, though, because it is better than its reputation: a number of Discord bots publish a real API. Lurkr’s is deep, Tatsu and Amari both offer one, and Kiai goes furthest — five named permissions as a bitfield, a per-endpoint scope table and an official npm SDK, which is the same shape as Vetox’s. UnbelievaBoat also ships an official JavaScript library alongside an OpenAPI spec.

What is unusual is not having an API. It is having one on a platform that also runs your moderation, tickets and levelling, so the integration reaches the rest of the server rather than one bot’s data.

Operational transparency. A public component-level status page covering nine components, plus a 90-day configuration audit recording who changed which module — free on every tier. Dyno publishes neither.

More notification coverage for less. Eight platforms — Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Reddit, Bluesky, Steam, RSS and podcasts — at $4.99/month against five at $49.99/year. Both charge; the difference is coverage and price.

What Dyno offers in its own niche

Dyno is a long-running moderation bot with a mature free moderation surface, and a share of moderators have configured one before. For a server that will never want levelling, tickets, applications, streaks or a second language, that familiarity is the argument for it.

Why the free tier decides more than the price list

Comparing entry prices makes these two look similar. Comparing what the free tier does makes the gap visible, and the reason is worth setting out.

The free tier is where a server accumulates history. Levelling data, ticket transcripts, warning records and activity statistics all start on the day the feature is switched on. A system bought in month eight has eight months of missing history that cannot be backfilled, and history is most of what those systems are for.

It decides when the upgrade decision happens. A server on a deep free tier upgrades because it wants a ceiling raised — a decision made with months of experience. A server on a shallow one upgrades to find out whether the product works, which is a purchase made blind.

It survives a lapse. A card expires, a payment fails, an owner forgets. With a working free tier underneath, the server keeps moderation, tickets and levelling and loses only the paid layer.

And it compounds against a second bot. The systems missing from a nine-system product are not absent from the server — they are supplied by another bot, with another dashboard, another permission set and another failure mode. One platform covering 41 systems is one thing to configure and one thing to debug.

Which one to install

Install Vetox. Levelling and tickets free on Starter against $49.99 a year, 41 systems against roughly nine, 21 languages, eight notification platforms at $4.99, a documented API with a published SDK, a public status page and a 90-day configuration audit free on every tier.

Dyno remains a moderation bot for a server whose entire requirement is basic moderation and whose staff already know it.
