SFT.VS // engagement bot vs moderation bot

Sift vs MEE6

MEE6 is great at leveling and engagement. Sift is built only for moderation: context scoring, free scam blocking, raids and a mod case queue.

MEE6 is one of the most-added bots on Discord, mostly for leveling, XP, welcome messages and social alerts. It has moderation and an automod too, but they're rule-based, and most of the advanced pieces sit behind a per-server premium.

What MEE6 does well

  • Leveling, XP and role rewards
  • Welcome messages and social media alerts
  • An easy dashboard that new server owners already know

Where Sift is different

  • Sift is only a moderation bot, so all of it, including the free plan, goes into catching problems.
  • Messages get scored with the conversation around them, not matched against a word list.
  • Scam links, spam limits, raid protection and anti-nuke are free on Sift.
  • Sift Max is $14.99 a month and covers up to 5 of your servers. MEE6 Premium is priced per server.

Can you run both?

This is the most common combo: keep MEE6 for leveling and welcomes, add Sift for moderation, and switch MEE6's automod off.

Which one should you pick?

  • Pick MEE6 if leveling and engagement are what you're after.
