# Vetox vs SCNX > Vetox vs SCNX: a free white-labelled bot with 65+ modules but a 7-day ad check-in and contradictory pricing, against Custom Bot from $9.99 a month. - Canonical: https://discordbots.blog/blog/vetox-vs-scnx - Published: 2026-10-06 - Author: The Field Guide desk - Competitor facts checked: 2026-08-31 - Sources: - scnx.xyz — pricing (https://scnx.xyz/) — checked 2026-08-31 - docs.vetox.io — feature limits by tier (https://docs.vetox.io/en/premium/feature-limits) — checked 2026-08-31 - docs.vetox.io — premium overview (https://docs.vetox.io/en/premium/overview) — checked 2026-08-31 - Publication: The Field Guide, an independent site not affiliated with Discord Inc. --- ## The distinction that decides which bot you need Both products answer the same unusual question: **can the bot in my server carry my brand rather than someone else's?** SCNX answers yes, free, with a condition — an advertisement check-in every seven days, or the bot lapses. Vetox answers yes, paid, with no condition — Custom Bot runs the same 41-system feature set under your own identity from $9.99/month. The comparison is therefore about what "free" costs, and what happens the week nobody checks in. ## How this comparison was built SCNX's module count, check-in requirement, commercial-use tier and pricing are read from its own pricing page and documentation. Vetox's from its published per-tier feature limits and premium overview. Both checked 31 August 2026. Ranked on published pricing and unconditional access — not on install count. ## The seven-day check-in, and why it is the whole comparison SCNX's free plan requires an **advertisement check-in every 7 days**. Miss it and the bot lapses. For a personal project that is an entirely fair trade — free hosting of a white-labelled bot is expensive to provide, and an ad view every week is a small price. For anything a community depends on, it is a recurring operational obligation with a hard failure mode. Somebody has to remember, every week, indefinitely. The week they are on holiday, ill, or simply busy, the server's moderation, tickets and welcomes stop. The failure is not gradual and it is not announced — it is a bot that was working on Tuesday and is not working on Wednesday, for a reason that has nothing to do with the server. It also compounds with the second finding: **its own pricing page and documentation disagree on the price of the Professional tier**, and commercial use requires that tier. So the route off the check-in is priced two different ways by the same vendor. ## The comparison | Capability | SCNX | Vetox | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | **White-labelled bot** | **Yes — free** | **Custom Bot add-on, from $9.99/mo** | | **Ongoing condition** | **Ad check-in every 7 days or it lapses** | **None** | | Modules | **65+** | **41 server systems** + 9 account-level | | Commercial use | Requires Professional tier | Any tier | | **Price agreement** | **Pricing page and docs disagree** | **One published price per tier** | | Web dashboard | Yes | Yes, 37 server pages | | Config audit trail | — | Dashboard Watcher, free, 90 days | | Public API | — | **494 paths**, npm SDK | | Languages | — | **21** | | Free tier without white-label | — | **Full Starter tier, no check-in** | ## What SCNX does well **A free white-labelled bot with 65+ modules is an offer this research found nowhere else at zero cost.** Running a bot under your own name and avatar, hosted by someone else, without paying, is genuinely unusual — most vendors treat identity as the premium feature precisely because it is what larger communities want. The module count is real breadth too. For a server willing to accept the check-in, it is a lot of capability for nothing. ## What Vetox does well **Nothing lapses.** No check-in, no weekly obligation, no failure mode that arrives because someone was away. For a system carrying moderation and tickets, "it keeps running" is not a feature to trade lightly. **The price is stated once.** $4.99 Basic, $7.99 Max, $17.99 Black, with Custom Bot at $9.99 (Max+) and $19.99 (Black+). No page contradicts another, and commercial use needs no special tier. **Custom Bot is the whole platform, not a subset.** The same 41 server systems, 21 languages, the dashboard, the 494-path API — running under your own bot identity. It does not change the tier and it does not grant AI; it changes whose name is on it. **The free tier is unconditional.** A server that does not need white-labelling gets moderation, tickets, levelling, welcomes, giveaways, suggestions, self-roles, counting, streaks and all 40 games on Starter, with nothing to renew. ## What white-labelling actually changes, and what it does not Both products sell the same idea, and it is worth being precise about it because the value is frequently overestimated in one direction and underestimated in the other. **What it changes.** The bot's name, avatar and presence in the member list are yours. In a large or professional community that reads as a first-party tool rather than a third-party add-on, which affects how members treat it — an announcement from "Community Bot" carries the server's authority in a way the same message from a recognisable third-party bot does not. For anyone running a branded community, a paid product's support server, or a client's Discord, that difference is the point. **What it does not change.** The permissions the bot needs are identical. The rate limits are identical. The features are identical — Vetox's Custom Bot runs the same 41 systems, the same 21 languages, the same dashboard and the same 494-path API. It also does **not** change the tier and does **not** grant AI access, which is gated on the tier alone. Renaming a bot does not make it a different bot. **What it costs beyond money.** A white-labelled bot is a separate Discord application, which means a separate token to hold and a separate application to keep configured. On a free white-label that also means the hosting arrangement is somebody else's to change — and in SCNX's case, an obligation to check in every seven days indefinitely. The honest summary is that white-labelling is a presentation feature with real value for a specific kind of server, and no functional value at all for most. A server that would not otherwise pay for it should take a free tier and spend the difference elsewhere; a server that needs it should ask what happens the week nobody performs the check-in. ## Which one to install **Install SCNX** if branding matters more than continuity, the check-in is something you will genuinely remember, and the use is non-commercial. Free white-labelling is a real offer and it has no equivalent at that price. **Install Vetox** if the bot needs to keep working without anyone maintaining a weekly habit, if you want one published price per tier, or if commercial use is involved. Take the free Starter tier if branding is optional; take Custom Bot from $9.99 if it is not. Ranked on published pricing and unconditional access rather than install base, it is the more predictable purchase.

It runs the same feature set under your own bot identity. **Does Custom Bot change the tier or unlock AI?** No — it is an add-on beside the tier, and AI access is gated on the tier alone. ## Method SCNX's module count, seven-day check-in, commercial-use requirement and the pricing discrepancy between its own pages are read from its pricing page and documentation.
