A Dyno alternative
Moderation and automod on a bot of your own.
Dyno is one moderation bot shared by every server that adds it. With BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker, you make a bot of your own, with your name and avatar on it. It comes with 26 free moderation commands, a case log, and automatic punishments, and you can build any rule the settings don't cover from blocks.
Dyno plans and features checked on dyno.gg and Dyno's docs, 23 October 2026.

Moderation commands, case logs, and automatic punishments
The Moderation module is free and doesn't use up your 3 custom commands. Switch it on and your mods get /ban add, /kick, /warn, /mute add, /purge, /slowmode, /channel lock, and the rest, 26 in all.
- Every punishment gets a case number and goes in your log channel. /user history shows everything a member has had.
- Switch on DMs and the bot tells members what happened, why, and which mod did it, in a message you write.
- Set rules like "3 warnings: time out for 1 hour" and "6 warnings: ban", and the bot hands out the punishment when a member hits the number.
Automod on BotGhost, and where Dyno does more
Dyno has 19 ready-made filters on its free plan, from caps and spam to phishing links, and BotGhost doesn't have a list like that. You get two other ways to stop bad messages.
Build a filter from blocks
FreeA When a new message is sent event checks every new message. In this one, an If / Else block looks for discord.gg/ in the message. When it's there, Delete a Message removes it and Send or Edit a Message posts a warning in the channel.
Add Timeout a Member or a note in your mod log channel under the same branch.
It uses one of your 3 free events. Make it in the event builder.
Discord Automod module
PremiumRun /discord-automod to add blocked words to Discord's own AutoMod, so Discord stops the message before anyone sees it. You pick what happens to members who keep getting caught: a timeout, a kick, or a ban.

See BotGhost and Dyno side by sideOn 23 October 2026, Dyno's premium page listed Standard at $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, Premium at $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year, and Custom at $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Each one is for one server. BotGhost Premium is $12.50 a month or $75 a year for one bot, or $25 a month or $150 a year for every bot you own, in every server they're in.
Dyno's tiers next to BotGhostYes, though it works differently. Dyno has 19 ready-made filter types on its free plan. BotGhost's Discord Automod module adds blocked words to Discord's own AutoMod and needs Premium. On the free plan you build a filter from blocks instead: a message event, a Comparison Condition, and whatever should happen next.
Automod on BotGhostYes, on every BotGhost bot, because it's your own Discord application. Change them in Settings whenever you like. On Dyno, your own avatar and username are the Custom tier, $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year for one server.
Make a custom Discord botNo. BotGhost can't import anything from Dyno, so warnings and cases start fresh on your new bot. If you need an old member's history, look it up in Dyno before you remove it.
Moving your Dyno setupYes. They're separate bots, so you can add yours while Dyno is still there and move one thing at a time. Turn off the matching part of Dyno as you go, or both bots will act on the same message.
Moving your Dyno setupCheck the role order first. Discord won't let a bot punish anyone whose top role is above the bot's. Drag your bot's role near the top in Server Settings, then Roles.

Add your bot while Dyno is still in the server. Set up each part below, switch it off in Dyno, then remove Dyno at the end.
