Octera
Looking for a Dyno alternative?
Dyno has a famously generous free tier, and so does Octera. The difference shows up when you run more than one server, want a lifetime option, or want anti-nuke protection without paying for it.
One server is close. Three is not.
Dyno sells each plan for a single server with no bundle, so a second server means a second subscription.
Dyno prices checked on 8 August 2026 from their own pricing page — check it yourself, since prices change. Octera's figures come straight from our pricing page. We link to Dyno because you deserve to compare rather than take our word for it.
Dyno also sells a higher Premium tier and a custom-bot tier; the comparison above uses its entry plan, which is the closest match to Octera Premium.
Two generous free tiers, different shapes.
Dyno caps a lot of things at three — three embeds, three giveaways, three forms, three reaction-role menus. Octera puts the whole core bot in the free tier and reserves Premium for identity, customization and scale.
- Anti-nuke security, auto-moderation and full moderation are free on Octera
- Leveling, the economy, tickets, custom commands and logging are free
- Premium adds a per-server bot identity, custom rank and welcome cards, music and the AI assistant
- Everything is configured from a web dashboard, not chat commands
Move over without resetting your community.
The reason most servers stay on a bot they have outgrown is not loyalty — it is that switching means everyone loses their levels and you rebuild every panel by hand.
- Import your existing levels so members keep the rank they earned — nobody restarts at zero
- Run Octera alongside Dyno while you set it up; every module starts switched off
- Configure it from a real web dashboard instead of typing setup commands into chat
- Turn modules on one at a time, then remove the old bot when you are satisfied
Set it up at your own pace with the setup guides, or start from the dashboard tour.
Is Octera's free tier really the whole bot?
The core is, yes — moderation, auto-moderation, anti-nuke, reaction roles, leveling, economy, custom commands, welcome and logging. Premium covers per-server identity, deeper customization and a few extras like music and the AI assistant.
What if I run several servers?
That is where the gap opens. $9.99 a month covers three servers on Octera; three separate Dyno subscriptions would be $17.97.
Run both and keep the one you prefer.
Octera is free to add and every module starts switched off, so there is nothing to undo if you change your mind.
