Mira vs Dyno.
Dyno is the OG. It's been around since 2016 and millions of servers use it. Mira is newer and smaller — but more modern in places that matter.
Dyno is one of the most-installed Discord bots, with a long track record and a polished, well-tested dashboard. Comparing fairly: Dyno wins on maturity and breadth, Mira wins on modern dashboard UX and certain newer features like advanced ticket panels and integrated anti-nuke.
If you're happy with Dyno and don't need anything Mira does differently, there's no urgent reason to switch. If you're hitting Dyno Premium's paywall or want a more modern dashboard, that's where Mira makes sense.

Where Mira wins
- ✓Dashboard is more modern and faster — built on Next.js with live previews.
- ✓Anti-nuke applies to everyone, including server owners. Dyno has anti-raid but no equivalent threshold-based protection against rogue admins.
- ✓Ticket panels are far more customizable — multi-category, modal forms, claim system, transcripts, auto-close.
- ✓Built-in leveling system (Dyno doesn't do leveling at all).
- ✓Themes, accent colors, density, and font customization at the user level.
- ✓Free forever — no premium tier holding features hostage.
Where Dyno wins
- ✓Years of stability and reliability — it's on millions of servers for a reason.
- ✓Larger team, more active development on certain features.
- ✓Custom commands (tags) — write your own server-specific commands. Mira doesn't have this yet.
- ✓Music playback — though now gated behind Dyno Premium.
- ✓Larger ecosystem and community support.
What it actually costs.
Dyno has a free tier and Dyno Premium ($9.99/mo per server, or $4.99/mo for 1-month plans). Premium unlocks music, custom embeds in some places, and priority support. Mira is fully free — every feature shown above is available to everyone, no upgrade path.
Should you actually switch?
If you're using Dyno today and it works for you, there's no urgency to switch. Mira is the better pick if you want a more modern dashboard, advanced ticket panels, anti-nuke with threshold-based punishment, or you're hitting Dyno Premium's paywall. Dyno is the better pick if you need custom tags/commands today (which Mira plans to add) or you're running a server that depends on Dyno's music.
Decided. Now what?
Mira is free forever, no premium tier. Install takes 30 seconds.
