Dyno is one of the longest-running Discord bots. Its automod, moderation commands, custom commands and announcements have protected large servers for years, and most of that works on the free plan.
People look for a Dyno alternative for a different reason than with MEE6. It's usually not the paywall. It's that Dyno is moderation-first, and the server now wants levels, tickets, an economy and invite tracking too. Disclosure: we build MurFFy. Dyno details were checked in September 2026. Confirm current features and pricing on Dyno's own site.
Quick answer
- Keep Dyno for moderation and automod on a large server.
- Choose MurFFy for levels with role rewards, tickets with transcripts, an economy, invite tracking and temporary voice channels, free in one dashboard.
- Or run both: Dyno for moderation, MurFFy for engagement.

Where Dyno is better
- Automod right now. Dyno filters message content today. MurFFy's spam and link filters are still coming soon, so keep Discord's AutoMod on if you use MurFFy.
- Track record on big servers. Dyno has been battle-tested for years.
- Moderation workflows. Warnings, mutes, logs and mod tools are Dyno's core.
Where MurFFy is better
MurFFy covers the parts of a server that keep members coming back:
- Leveling with role rewards, multipliers, level-up messages and a rank card editor. Guide
- Tickets with button panels, claiming and transcripts. Guide
- Economy with
/daily,/work, jobs, a bank and a role shop. Guide - Invite tracking that separates fake and left invites. Guide
- VoiceMaster Join to Create channels. Guide
- JoinGuard screening on join, before a raid account can type. Guide
Running Dyno and MurFFy together
| Job | Bot |
|---|---|
| Automod, moderation commands, mod logs | Dyno |
| Welcome messages and images, levels, tickets, economy, invites | MurFFy |
| Auto roles on join | One of them, not both |
Turn off duplicate modules so members don't get two welcomes, and check the role hierarchy: each bot's role must be above the roles it assigns.
FAQ
Is Dyno free?
Dyno has a free plan that covers most moderation. Premium adds extras and higher limits. Check Dyno's site for current pricing.
Is MurFFy a good replacement for Dyno's automod?
Not yet. MurFFy screens accounts on join (JoinGuard), has a honeypot channel and forum moderation, but message spam and link filters are coming soon. Use Discord AutoMod or keep Dyno for that part.
Which bot is better for a gaming community?
If you want members to level up, earn roles, spend currency and open tickets, MurFFy. If you mainly need strict moderation, Dyno. Many gaming servers run both.
