What is the best Discord bot for your server?
No Discord bot is the best for every server, and this page does not publish a ranking. It explains how to choose, then presents Chill Utility and Backup King, two Chill Network bots, with what they do and what they do not do. We publish these bots, so this is not an independent review.
How to choose a Discord bot
- List what your server really needs: welcome messages, levels, backups, moderation.
- Check what is free and what needs a paid plan.
- If your community speaks another language, check that the bot supports it.
- Read the requested permissions before you confirm the invite.
- Keep one bot per feature, to avoid duplicates.
Chill Utility, the all-in-one bot
Chill Utility puts the tools of a community server into one bot: welcome messages, auto roles, levels, quizzes, counting, giveaways, temporary voice channels, bump reminders, sticky and recurrent messages. You set it all up with /setup or the web dashboard.
It is not a moderation bot, and it has no social alerts, economy or tickets.
Backup King, the backup bot
Backup King saves a server's roles, channels, permissions, AutoMod rules, emojis, stickers and sounds, then restores them with /backup load. The free plan keeps 1 backup per server, and /backup auto schedules one every 14 days.
It does not save messages or members. On the free plan, saved emojis become public in the discordbot.fr catalog. With Premium they stay private.

For other needs
The discordbot.fr directory ranks bots by votes and server count, using the numbers they post themselves.
