How Kovu compares
For servers thinking about switching: what you get, what it costs and what comes with you.
Kovu is free right now. Paid tiers will come later, and nothing is priced yet.
What each page covers
Kovu next to one other bot: what each includes, the plans that bot sells, what moving over takes and where that bot is the better pick.
All-in-one bots come first: Dyno, MEE6, Carl-bot, Sapphire and YAGPDB. Then Wick, a security bot, and Tatsu and Arcane, which focus on levels and community.
What these pages say about other bots was checked between October 1, 2026 and October 7, 2026. Their prices are the ones they publish on their own websites, and each page links to its source.

Your members’ levels come with you
Moving from MEE6, Kovu reads each member’s XP and MEE6’s level roles and shows you the result before anything changes. Moving from Dyno, your moderation history comes over the same way.
| MEE6 level | Members | Kovu level from their XP |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | 41 | 1–4 |
| 5–9 | 23 | 5–9 |
| 10–19 | 9 | 10–19 |
| 20–31 | 3 | 20–31 |
- Level 5@RegularWill be added
- Level 10@VeteranWill be added
- MEE6 and Kovu use the same level curve, so each member’s XP gives the same level on Kovu.
- Members keep the roles MEE6 gave them. Kovu gives them to members who reach the level from now on.
- Nothing changes until you import, and you can undo it for 14 days.
Dyno, MEE6, Carl-bot, Sapphire, YAGPDB, Wick, Tatsu and Arcane are trademarks of their respective owners. Kovu isn’t affiliated with any of them.
