Choose AiGuild if
AiGuild gives for free what Carl-bot keeps for Premium: levels and XP, with role rewards. It adds AI tickets, giveaways with requirements and full server generation. And every setting is one sentence to /ai instead of commands to learn.
Choose them if Carl-bot
Carl-bot is stronger at moderation and reaction roles: timed punishments, infraction history, detailed logs, 250 free reaction roles per server with advanced modes, TagScript custom commands, Twitch and YouTube alerts. For a demanding mod team, it's a proven tool.

What is free, and what is not
On Carl-bot's Premium page (checked on 2 November 2026), the levels & XP system is marked “No” on free and “Yes” on Premium, like sticky messages, voice-role links, timed reaction roles and the custom avatar. Reaction roles, automod and greetings are free.
On AiGuild, levels, welcome, button roles, AutoMod protection, giveaways, tickets and invite tracking are on the free plan. What costs is AI usage, in credits: one /ai question is free every week, then 3 credits per question.
Prices
Carl-bot Premium is bought on Patreon or in Discord's store; its price isn't shown on carl.gg, so we don't quote it. A Discord subscription covers one server; higher Patreon tiers cover several.
AiGuild: free, then €3.99 per month for VIP and €7.99 per month for Premium, valid on every server you manage.
What one does and the other doesn't
Carl-bot's feature list mentions neither tickets nor giveaways, nor any AI. AiGuild doesn't kick or ban anyone and has no Twitch or YouTube alerts: punishments stay with your moderators.
AiGuild doesn't read message text (no Message Content access): its protection runs through Discord's built-in AutoMod (invite links, spam, mention raids, banned words, scam links).

Does AiGuild do reaction roles?
Yes, with buttons or a menu: one click gives or removes the role, on desktop and mobile. /ai can post the panel and create missing roles.
No credit card.
