## The distinction that decides which bot you need

A streak is a retention mechanic: it gives a member a reason to return tomorrow because returning
today built something they do not want to lose. Two things decide whether it works — **what keeps the
streak alive**, and **what the streak is worth**.

Vetox keeps a streak alive through ordinary server activity, rewards it with milestone roles, and
wires it into levelling, the Battle Pass and the Vito economy. The whole system is free on Starter,
configured from a dashboard, with every limit published.

StreakBot keeps a streak alive by posting media specifically, and publishes nothing a prospective
user can read.

## The disclosure problem, stated first

**StreakBot's site returns HTTP 403 to automated readers**, and its `robots.txt` carries a managed
AI-crawler block list. Its pricing, its numeric limits and its feature detail cannot be read from
outside at all.

Its Discord App Directory listing shows **monetization disabled**, which means there is no
Discord-native purchase route. That is not the same as the product being free — it says only that
money does not change hands inside Discord.

The practical consequence for anyone evaluating it: there is nothing to compare. A server cannot
determine what the free tier includes, whether a paid tier exists, what it costs, or where the limits
sit, without installing the bot and finding out. Every number in the Vetox column below is published
and checkable before installation.

## The trigger difference, which decides whether a streak survives

This is the mechanic that matters most and it is easy to skip past.

**StreakBot's streak is kept alive by posting media** — photos, videos, GIFs, stickers, YouTube
videos or voice messages. Chatting does not count.

That is a narrow trigger. It suits a server built around sharing images, and it works against every
other kind. A discussion community, a support server, a study group or a gaming server where the
conversation is text will find members losing streaks on days they were _demonstrably active_ —
which is the exact opposite of what a retention mechanic is supposed to reward. A streak that
punishes participation trains members to stop caring about it.

**Vetox's streaks respond to ordinary server activity**, so the thing being rewarded is the thing the
server actually wants: showing up and taking part.

## What Vetox does well

**The whole streak system is free on Starter.** Milestone role rewards, streak notifications and
reminders all ship without payment. The tier ladder raises the milestone-role count and the monthly
freeze allowance, and the starting freezes are free — so a server runs a complete streak mechanic at
zero cost and only pays if it wants more headroom.

**A streak is worth something because the platform knows about it.** This is the structural advantage.
Streak progress feeds **levelling**, advances the **Battle Pass** track, and interacts with the
**Vito economy** — so a 40-day streak is not a number in an isolated product, it is progression the
member's roles, level and balance already reflect. A standalone streak bot can only ever show a
counter.

**Reminders close the loop.** A streak's failure mode is a member forgetting on day 41. Vetox's
streak reminder nudges the member directly, and — because reminders, streaks and roles are the same
platform — the milestone role arrives the moment the threshold is crossed without anyone watching.

**Everything is published and configured from a dashboard.** Every limit is readable before
installing, every setting is a validated form rather than a command, and Dashboard Watcher records
who changed what for 90 days, free.

**21 languages**, against eight — which for a community that is not English-first is a first-order
concern rather than a nicety.

## Why an unreadable vendor is a real cost

It is worth being concrete about what "cannot be read from outside" means operationally, because it
reads like a research inconvenience and is actually a planning one.

**You cannot budget.** If a paid tier exists, its price is unknown until you are inside the product.

**You cannot plan for a ceiling.** Numeric limits are unknown, so the first time a server learns
where one sits is when it hits it — typically after members have built streaks worth caring about.

**You cannot evaluate before committing.** A streak mechanic accrues value over months; discovering
in month three that the configuration you need is gated means either paying an unknown amount or
resetting something members have invested in.

**And you cannot check what changed.** A vendor that publishes nothing has nothing to hold to. Every
Vetox number in this comparison is published, dated and readable before installation — which is what
makes the decision reversible.

## Which one to install

**Install Vetox.** The complete streak system — milestone role rewards, notifications, reminders and
free starting freezes — is free on Starter, triggered by ordinary activity rather than media posts,
wired into levelling, Battle Pass and the Vito economy, configured from a dashboard, available in 21
languages, with every limit and price published before you install.

StreakBot remains an option for a media-sharing server willing to evaluate a product whose terms are
not readable from outside.

## Frequently asked questions

**What keeps a Vetox streak alive?** Ordinary server activity, rather than posting media
specifically.

**Is Vetox's streak system free?** Yes — the whole system on Starter, including milestone role
rewards, notifications and reminders. Paid tiers raise the milestone-role count and monthly freeze
allowance.

**What does StreakBot cost?** Its pricing is not readable from outside — its site returns 403 to
automated readers, and its App Directory listing shows monetization disabled.

**Do Vetox streaks affect levelling?** Yes — streak progress feeds levelling, the Battle Pass and the
Vito economy on the same platform.

## Method

StreakBot's media-only trigger, its eight interface languages, the 403 response to automated readers
and the App Directory monetization status are read from its listing and from direct requests to its
site. Vetox's streak capabilities, per-tier freeze and milestone allowances, trigger behaviour and
progression links are read from its Streaks configuration surface and published feature limits.
