Worked example, one server, three years, with social alerts:
- Dyno Premium yearly: $59.99 x 3 = $179.97.
- MEE6 yearly: $29.99 + $59.99 + $59.99 = $149.97.
- MEE6 lifetime at list: $89.99. On promo: $44.99.
- Dyno Premium monthly: $7.99 x 36 = $287.64.
- MEE6 monthly at list: $11.99 x 36 = $503.64.
So MEE6 is the expensive option month to month and the cheaper option if you commit to lifetime. Dyno is cheapest for anyone who wants to pay as they go. See the Price Index.

Head to head scenarios
A new gaming community of 200 members
Winner: Dyno. Free automod, autoroles, 3 reaction role menus, tickets for reports and a welcome DM cover everything this server needs for $0. Add Arcane if you want leveling free.
A streamer's community
Winner: MEE6. Alerts for Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram and Kick in one place, an XP leaderboard to reward chat, and a lifetime plan that pays for itself after two years.
A large public server that gets spam
Winner: Dyno. Its free automod plus autoban rules on join handle spam better out of the box, and Standard adds advanced automod for $49.99 a year. For raids, add Wick to either bot.
A server owner who refuses to pay anything
Winner: Dyno, narrowly. Dyno's free tier covers moderation, tickets and forms; MEE6's plans table marks most plugins as Premium. If you need moderation and leveling free, run Dyno plus Arcane, or look at Sapphire, which is entirely free.
A support or applications server
Winner: Dyno. Free tickets plus a forms builder for applications. MEE6 has ticketing too, but custom embeds on panels need Premium.
Switching between them
Moving from MEE6 to Dyno: rebuild welcome messages, reaction roles and custom commands on Dyno's dashboard, then replace MEE6 leveling with Dyno Standard ($49.99 a year) or a free leveling bot like Arcane. Your MEE6 XP history does not carry over to another bot, so announce the reset.
Moving from Dyno to MEE6: set up the Moderator plugin and automod before removing Dyno, recreate tickets, and add a forms bot if you used Dyno forms for applications.
Privacy
Both bots need moderation and role permissions to work. MEE6 runs a public bug bounty program and requires privileged intents for its custom bot. Dyno links a privacy policy, cookie policy and privacy choices page. In either case, keep the bot's role below your admin roles and grant only what the modules you use need.
Verdict
Dyno wins for most servers: better free moderation, tickets and forms, a public 4.38 rating and premium from $49.99 a year. MEE6 wins for creators who need its wide alert list and one dashboard for everything, and for owners who will buy lifetime once and never think about billing again.

For most servers, yes, on price and free moderation. Dyno's free tier includes automod, tickets, starboard and 25 custom commands, and its premium starts at $49.99 a year. MEE6 is better if you want alerts from ten social platforms and the easiest dashboard, and you do not mind its $11.99 list price.

Can I use MEE6 and Dyno together?
Yes. Many servers run Dyno for moderation and automod and MEE6 for XP and alerts. Turn off overlapping modules in one of them so members do not get double welcome messages or double moderation actions.

Which is better for moderation?
Dyno. Its free tier includes automod, autoban rules for new members, mod logs and protected roles, plus tickets and forms. MEE6 has a capable Moderator plugin, but Dyno is built moderation first.
