TL;DR

In one paragraph

ProBot's headline feature is welcome cards with a background image — if that's all you need, it does the job nicely. But the moment you want streamer alerts, anti-scam OCR, game server monitoring or a proper levelling system: pick SlakBot. Plus everything is free, no tier juggling.

Fair is fair

Where ProBot actually wins

No review is complete without the critical side.

🖼️

Welcome cards with image

ProBot's signature feature: visual welcome cards with server banner + avatar + text. For servers where onboarding revolves around first impressions, that's simply stronger.

🎵

Built-in music player

Gated behind Premium, but present. SlakBot deliberately doesn't include one — Discord's rules around music bots shift too often.

Decision helper

Choose SlakBot if…

✓ Choose SlakBot

  • • You want free streamer/content alerts
  • • You're dealing with scam screenshots
  • • You want levelling with unlimited role rewards
  • • You want game server monitoring
  • • An EN/NL native interface matters to you
  • • Your budget is €0 but you still want every feature

→ Choose ProBot

  • • Your server revolves around visual welcome cards
  • • You want a built-in music bot
  • • You already have all the other features covered elsewhere

Pro-tip: you can run SlakBot alongside ProBot — let ProBot handle the welcome cards, let SlakBot handle everything else.

We kept ProBot for the welcome cards but dropped Premium. SlakBot now handles levelling, Twitch alerts and anti-scam — and our annual bot bill went from €95 to €0.

Frequently asked questions

Does SlakBot have image welcome cards? ▼

Not yet. SlakBot uses rich custom embeds with avatars and dynamic text — they look clean but don't render as a full background image. If image cards are critical, keep ProBot for that one feature and run SlakBot alongside for everything else.

Is SlakBot really 100% free? ▼

Yes. No premium tier, no credit card. Every feature marked ✓ above is free, forever.

Why no music bot in SlakBot? ▼

Discord's policies around music bots and YouTube playback have changed several times. Rather than build a feature that might get blocked tomorrow, SlakBot focuses on streamer alerts, moderation and levelling.

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.
