The premium wall

What MEE6 used to give for free

Fair is fair

Where MEE6 actually wins

No review is complete without the critical side.

🎵

Music bot

MEE6 has a built-in music player. SlakBot deliberately doesn't — Discord's ToS for music keeps shifting.

📚

Templates

MEE6 has a huge template library for pre-configured servers. SlakBot offers setup guides — more work, but transparent.

🌍

Brand recognition

MEE6 is in 21M+ servers. Members who already know it feel reassured. SlakBot is newer and still growing.

Frequently asked questions

Is SlakBot really 100% free? ▼

Yes. Every feature in this table is free — no credit card. There is no premium tier today.

Can I migrate my MEE6 data? ▼

Yes — the Level Mover imports your MEE6 levels in one click from the dashboard, with a dry-run preview (only members currently in your server). Arcane/Lurkr works via CSV/JSON upload. Fine-tune afterwards with /xp-give.

Can I run both bots at the same time? ▼

Yes, it's fine to test for a week. Just make sure both bots aren't sending welcome messages (you'll get duplicates). Disable MEE6 features one at a time as SlakBot takes them over.

What happens to my data if SlakBot ever shuts down? ▼

You'll be notified in advance and can request a data export. See /en/privacy for the details.
