The ProBot alternative that tells you where it loses first.
ProBot Tier 1 costs $40 a year against Nano’s $49.99, so ProBot is the cheaper annual plan and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. Where Nano wins is the $4.99 monthly option, a free tier with published numbers, and a custom bot in the same tier that ProBot puts on its $80 Tier 2.
TL;DR
If the only question is the cheapest yearly price, ProBot Tier 1 wins at $40. Nano is $49.99 a year or $4.99 a month, and its single tier includes the custom bot that ProBot sells on Tier 2 at $80 a year. Nano also publishes every free-tier limit as a number; ProBot’s premium page publishes no free-tier feature list at all, which is why this page compares paid plans and stays quiet about ProBot’s free one.

Pricing per server
| Nano | ProBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry annual plan ProBot Tier 1 is $9.99 a year cheaper than Nano. If the yearly number is the decision, ProBot wins it. | $49.99/yr | $40/yr |
| Monthly ProBot's page has a Monthly/Yearly toggle, but both options still rendered yearly prices when read on 2026-08-02. We could not observe a ProBot monthly price, so this page does not state one. Check their page yourself. | $4.99/mo | Not published |
| Annual with a custom bot ProBot lists Custom Bot under Tier 2 only. Nano's custom bot is in its single tier, so the same capability costs $30.01 less per year. | $49.99/yr | $80/yr |
| Number of paid tiers Nano's price does not change with the feature you need. On ProBot, needing a custom bot doubles the price. | 1 | 2 |
What the free tier gives you
| Nano | ProBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Published free-tier limits This is the whole reason the rows below say 'Not published'. Nano lists every free cap as a number. ProBot's premium page publishes no free-tier feature list, so nothing on this page claims what ProBot's free tier does or does not include. | ||
| Custom commands Pre-defined responses triggered by a slash command. Nano raises the cap to 1000 on premium. | 50 | Not published |
| Reaction roles Self-assignable roles via reaction or button. 500 on premium. | 20 | Not published |
| Server stat counters Live member and channel counters. ProBot lists Server Statistics under both paid tiers; Nano gives 5 on the free tier and 25 on premium. | 5 free | Paid |
| Tickets Private support channels with staff routing. | 5 panels | Not published |
| Leveling (text XP) Nano's text XP, leaderboard and role rewards are free. ProBot's premium page does not list leveling either way, so we make no claim about theirs. | Not published | |
| AutoMod rule types Automatic moderation on banned words, spam, links or invites. Nano's AutoMod is not metered or gated: free servers get all 8 rule types and premium adds nothing. | All 8 | Not published |
What you get on premium
| Nano | ProBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Custom bot under your own token Both offer one. The difference is the tier: Nano's is in its only plan at $49.99/yr, ProBot's is Tier 2 at $80/yr. | ||
| Transfer of bot ownership ProBot advertises transferring the custom bot to you. Nano's custom bot runs on a Discord application you create and own from the start, so there is nothing to hand over. | Not needed | |
| Twitch notifications Premium on both. ProBot lists Twitch notifications on Tier 1 and Tier 2. | ||
| YouTube notifications Premium on both. | ||
| Reddit and RSS alerts Nano's premium social notifications cover Twitch, YouTube, Reddit and RSS. ProBot's premium page lists Twitch and YouTube only, read 2026-08-02. | Not listed | |
| Raid and anti-nuke protection ProBot lists Advanced Protection on both tiers. Nano's VIP protection is premium-only; its automod, which covers spam, links and banned words, is free. | ||
| Voice XP XP for time spent in voice channels alongside text XP. | Not listed | |
| Custom rank cards Branded XP profile cards with custom backgrounds and colours. | Not listed | |
| Music Nano does not ship music. | Not listed |

Where Nano wins
A monthly option you can actually see.
Nano is $4.99 a month, cancel any time. ProBot's page showed yearly prices under both toggle positions on 2026-08-02, so a monthly commitment was not something we could confirm exists.
The custom bot costs $30 less a year.
ProBot puts Custom Bot on Tier 2 at $80 a year. Nano's custom bot, running under your own Discord application, is in the single $49.99 tier.
Free stat counters.
ProBot lists Server Statistics under both paid tiers. Nano gives 5 counters on the free tier and 25 on premium.
Numbers you can check before you pay.
Every Nano free-tier limit is published: 50 custom commands, 20 reaction roles, 10 auto roles, 5 ticket panels, 5 stat counters and all 8 AutoMod rule types. You know what you get before the card comes out.
Where ProBot wins
We're not going to pretend we beat them on everything. If these matter most to you, stay where you are — switching won't help.
- The annual price. ProBot Tier 1 is $40 a year against Nano's $49.99. If you pay yearly and Tier 1 covers what you need, ProBot is cheaper and nothing on this page changes that.
- Reach and familiarity. ProBot is one of the most widely installed bots on Discord. Nano is new and has no brand recognition, so members are far more likely to have seen ProBot before.
- We could not compare free tiers. ProBot publishes no free-tier feature list on its premium page, so this comparison is paid-plan only. Their free tier may well beat Nano's on features we never saw. Check it before deciding.
Choose Nano if…
- You want to pay monthly rather than commit to a year.
- You want a custom bot without jumping to an $80/year tier.
- You want free server stat counters and free leveling.
- You want every free-tier limit published as a number before you pay.
Stick with ProBot if…
- The cheapest annual price is the decision, and Tier 1 covers your needs.
- Members recognising the bot matters more than what it costs.
- You depend on a ProBot feature this page could not verify Nano matches.
- You are already set up and not genuinely evaluating a change.
