Mira vs MEE6.
MEE6 has massive name recognition — it's installed on tens of millions of servers. It also has the most aggressive premium paywalls in the space.
MEE6 popularized leveling on Discord and built one of the slickest landing pages in the bot ecosystem. The free tier covers basic moderation, leveling, and welcome messages. Everything beyond that — custom rank cards, more than 100 levels, multiple auto-roles, custom commands, music, advanced moderation — costs money. MEE6 Premium is currently $11.95/month for one server, or $89.90 to unlock unlimited servers.
Mira is the alternative that doesn't do this. Everything we have is free. The honest weakness: MEE6's brand recognition is enormous, and certain MEE6 features (like its rank cards and music) are still cleaner than what Mira has today.

Where Mira wins
- ✓Every feature is free. MEE6's biggest weakness is what they paywall — Mira has no equivalent paywall.
- ✓No 100-level cap on role rewards. No 1-role auto-role limit.
- ✓Anti-nuke with threshold-based protection that MEE6 doesn't offer.
- ✓Ticket panels are dramatically more customizable.
- ✓Captcha verification is free (MEE6 Premium-only).
- ✓Audit logging without restrictions (MEE6 limits free).
- ✓Applications system, suggestions system, starboard — all included free.
- ✓Modern dashboard with theme customization at the user level.
Where MEE6 wins
- ✓Leveling system is more polished — rank cards look better than Mira's text-only ranks today.
- ✓Massive brand recognition — your server members have probably seen MEE6 before.
- ✓Dashboard is genuinely well-designed, with years of UX iteration.
- ✓Music playback works (Premium-only but it does work).
- ✓YouTube and Twitch notification integration (Premium).
What it actually costs.
MEE6 Premium is the most paywalled product in the Discord bot space. $11.95/month for one server, or $89.90 once for unlimited servers. Many features that competing bots offer free (custom welcome banners, more auto-roles, custom commands, music, captcha verification, detailed logging) require MEE6 Premium. Mira is fully free, no tiers.
Should you actually switch?
If you're already paying for MEE6 Premium and happy with it, you're paying for things Mira gives away for free. If you're on MEE6 free and have hit limits — auto-role cap, level reward cap, no custom commands, no detailed logging — Mira covers all of that without asking for money. The one area MEE6 still wins is polished rank cards and music; Mira doesn't have visual rank cards yet and won't do music until we can do it without YouTube TOS issues.
Decided. Now what?
Mira is free forever, no premium tier. Install takes 30 seconds.
