Fact-based comparison
Guardy vs PeakBot
| Capability | Guardy | PeakBot |
|---|---|---|
| Pro billing | $6.99 month-to-month; $69 yearly | $8.25 month-to-month; $5.75/month equivalent billed $69 yearly |
| Free scope | Focused leveling, migrations, rank cards, rewards, leaderboards, and privacy | Advertises 30+ categories including moderation, tickets, welcomes, and analytics |
| AI | AI review is roadmap work and not sold as shipped | AI Server Builder and AI moderation are present-tense Pro features |
| Migration evidence | MEE6 import is staged and parity-tested against an 800-player corpus | No equivalent migration parity evidence found on the checked pricing surface |
| Best fit | Admins prioritizing leveling portability and explicit review boundaries | Admins prioritizing broad all-in-one and AI administration features |
The decision in plain language
PeakBot is the broader product on its own published surface. It advertises more than 30 feature categories, including moderation, tickets, welcomes, reaction roles, analytics, and AI-led server administration. Guardy should not pretend to match that breadth in Phase 1. Its launch case is more specific: import an existing MEE6 ladder safely, make the leveling rules legible, and keep privacy and deletion controls close to the member experience.
If a server wants one bot to cover many operational categories immediately, PeakBot has the stronger pitch. If the migration boundary itself is the product risk—thousands of member totals, an existing curve, and a need to inspect every change—Guardy’s staged workflow is more directly evidenced.
Do not confuse two PeakBot Pro prices
PeakBot’s official pricing page shows Pro at $5.75 per month while also saying it is billed at $69 per year. That is an annual-billing monthly equivalent. PeakBot’s own 2026 pricing explanation lists Pro at $8.25 per month when billed monthly and $5.75 per month when billed yearly. Comparing Guardy’s $6.99 monthly plan with PeakBot’s $5.75 annual equivalent would mix billing periods.
The annual totals are directly comparable: both Guardy Premium and PeakBot Pro are listed at $69 per year on the checked date. The products are not equivalent bundles, so price alone does not settle the decision. PeakBot also lists Starter and Agency options; Guardy deliberately keeps one server upgrade.
What the free products optimize for
PeakBot says its free tier spans moderation, XP and leaderboards, welcomes, reaction roles, tickets, analytics, and logging. Guardy’s free tier is narrower but goes deeper on the launch leveling contract: message and eligible voice XP, reward ladders within the committed cap, windowed leaderboards, rank-card backgrounds and colors, and migration preview. Guardy does not claim arbitrary rank-card text editing or universal reward-role import.
Evidence and concessions
Guardy’s 800-player parity corpus and transactional preview are evidence about its own MEE6 migration, not proof that PeakBot cannot migrate data. No equivalent proof was found on the official PeakBot pricing sources checked for this comparison, so the table states that limited observation rather than claiming the feature is absent everywhere.
PeakBot’s AI Server Builder, AI moderation, anti-nuke protections, and ticket transcripts are marketed as available Pro features. Guardy’s AI review queue remains roadmap work. A buyer who values those features should count that as a clear PeakBot advantage, not as a future Guardy promise.
