Dyno alternative: what Chill Utility can take over
To be clear from the start: Chill Utility does not replace all of Dyno. It has no automod, no moderation logs and no custom commands. It can handle welcome messages, auto roles, self-assign roles with buttons or menus, announcements or giveaways if you want to keep Dyno for moderation only. Chill Utility is published by Chill Network, who wrote this page.
What Chill Utility can take over
- Welcome messages in a channel and by DM.
- Roles given on join: 5 on the free plan, 10 with Master. A role can also be given while a member is in voice.
- Recurrent messages and sticky messages: 3 channels on the free plan, up to 25 with Infinity.
- Giveaways: 2 running at a time on the free plan, for up to 30 days.
- A role and a message to thank members who boost the server.
- Interactive messages with buttons and menus, built in the dashboard: each button or menu option can add, remove or toggle a role, send a message or a DM, edit or delete the message, or move the member to a voice channel. Saved messages: 15 on the free plan, 50 with Starter, 250 with Master, 500 with Infinity.
What Chill Utility does not do
No automod, no logs, no warnings, mutes or kicks. For moderation it only has /clear to delete messages and /softban to ban then unban a member so their messages are removed.
No custom commands, and no roles given through emoji reactions: self-assign roles use buttons or menus instead. If your server relies on custom commands in Dyno, keep Dyno for them.
Running Dyno and Chill Utility together
- List the Dyno modules you really use.
- Add Chill Utility and turn on the matching systems with /setup or the dashboard.
- Test welcome messages and roles with a second account.
- Turn off each replaced module in Dyno, so members do not get two welcome messages or two roles.
- Leave moderation, and anything Chill Utility does not cover, to Dyno.
