Most Discord servers run on a handful of bots, each added for one job. One greets new members, another opens support tickets and a third gives members XP. For a server run by friends, that works well. A studio or brand that runs Discord as part of the business needs two more things: one view of each member across every job, and numbers the team can report on.
This guide lists the well-known bots for each job and where CEEJAY, the all-in-one Discord CRM we develop, fits. Because we develop CEEJAY, we've described each bot only with what its own website says, as of 13 November 2026.

Most of these bots are free to start, with a paid premium plan for more features.
Welcome messages
A welcome message is the first thing a new member sees, so it should point them to the rules and the channels that matter. Look for custom images, a direct message option and the member's name in the message.
MEE6 includes a welcome plugin, and its site says more than 20 million servers use it. Carl-bot has greetings alongside its moderation tools. Welcomer focuses on welcome messages and supports custom text, direct messages and images.
In CEEJAY, welcome messages and cards greet every new member with a card made for your server, and growth analytics show whether new members stay past their first week.
Verification
Verification keeps bots and alt accounts out before they can post. Most bots ask new members to pass a captcha or press a button.
Double Counter blocks alt accounts, raids and VPNs and offers three verification modes. Its site says the free plan covers 99% of communities. Captcha.bot checks new accounts with a captcha and removes scam links.
In CEEJAY, verification keeps bots out and lets real members straight in, and a honeypot channel catches spammers before they reach your members.

Moderation
Start with AutoMod, which is built into Discord. It blocks messages with the words you choose and common spam before they're posted, and it can send an alert to a private channel for your moderators.
Bots add what AutoMod doesn't cover. Dyno is a moderation bot with a web dashboard. Carl-bot adds mod logs, timed punishments and a full history of each member's warnings and bans. Wick focuses on security and protects servers against raids and nukes.
In CEEJAY, the moderation log shows every ban, kick and timeout and who made it, and automations handle routine tasks when nobody on the team is online.
Support tickets
A ticket opens a private channel between a member and your team, so problems are handled away from public chat. Look for panels with buttons, questions before a ticket opens and a transcript when it closes.
Ticket Tool opens tickets from button panels, can ask questions first and saves a backup of each ticket. Tickets offers panels, transcripts, forms and member ratings. It has a free plan and a Premium plan at $2.99 per server a month.
In CEEJAY, your team answers every ticket from Ticket support and can see which issues keep coming back. The team inbox lists new tickets alongside mentions and tasks.
Polls
For a quick question, Discord's own polls are enough. A poll can have up to 10 answers and stay open for between an hour and a week.
Poll bots add more control. EasyPoll is built for advanced polls, and Zira offers button polls with live results and a scheduled close.
In CEEJAY, polls get a quick answer from the whole server. For polls that aren't anonymous, you can follow up with the members who gave each answer.
Giveaways
GiveawayBot starts a giveaway from a few commands. MEE6 and Zira include giveaways alongside their other features.
In CEEJAY, you can run giveaways in your own server and, with partner links, in partner and creator servers to bring their members into yours.
Levels and XP
Levels reward members for taking part, and a role at each level gives them something to show. MEE6 includes levels. Arcane adds voice levelling and free role rewards. Tatsu adds an economy, a store and profile cards.
In CEEJAY, XP and levels reward the members who show up, and quests set goals that grow your community, with rewards for the members who reach them.
Reaction roles
Reaction roles let members pick their own roles, games and pings. Carl-bot allows up to 250 reaction-role pairs per server. MEE6 includes reaction roles, Zira offers reactions and buttons on its free plan, and YAGPDB includes role menus.
In CEEJAY, members pick their own roles, games and pings with reaction roles.
YouTube, Twitch and X posts
A social feed posts in your server when you go live or publish a video. MEE6 covers Twitch, X, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram and RSS. Pingcord covers YouTube, Twitch, Reddit and TikTok, and X is in beta on its premium plan. YAGPDB covers YouTube, Twitch, Reddit and RSS.
In CEEJAY, social feeds share every new video, stream and post with your server as it goes live.
Analytics
Statbot tracks member and channel activity and has a dashboard and channel counters. ServerStats shows your server's numbers as channel counters.
Message counts show how busy a server is. Teams that run a community for a business often also want to know what members are saying and whether new members stay.
In CEEJAY, server analytics cover growth, engagement and retention, and Voice of Community catches problems as the first complaints come in, so you know what to fix first.
One bot for each job, or one platform
If your server needs one or two of these jobs, a single bot is the simpler choice, and most have a free plan.
Once a team runs five or six bots, the data ends up split between them. Each bot has its own settings and dashboard, so nobody can see a member's tickets, poll answers and rewards together, and a report usually means exporting into a spreadsheet.
CEEJAY has an app for each job in this guide, all in one platform. Everyone on your team can see who a member is before they reply, and leadership gets a weekly report on what the community is worth. Book a demo to see it on a community like yours.
