Where Sidekick is the better pick
- Protection is always free: moderation, automod, anti-raid, anti-nuke and logs.
- Leveling, welcome cards, reaction roles and tickets are free too – Premium raises limits and adds design.
- Cards with a live preview in the dashboard: you see the welcome and rank card before you save.
- Dashboard and bot fully in German and English.
- Peek, our server list, shows your Sidekick welcome card to people before they join.
Switching in four steps
- Add Sidekick to your server – both bots can run side by side while you test.
- Open the dashboard and switch on the modules you used before.
- Copy your texts and roles over and check them in the preview.
- When everything works: switch the old module off there, so nothing is posted twice.
