AutoMod compared #
Dyno's automod is one of its strongest points. According to our sources, all of its filters and its full punishment ladder are free, and the paid plan adds refinements like per rule log channels and custom responses.
Ethvex AutoMod is also free, apart from File Filter and Account Age. Each of its nine modules has its own escalating steps, so repeat offenders move from a warning to a timeout, kick or ban automatically, and counts reset after a clean streak you choose. Ethvex adds Abuse Guard, which alerts you if a moderator account suddenly mass bans or kicks people.
For pure filter coverage, Dyno is the more established option. For a simple setup with punishments that adapt to repeat offenders, Ethvex is very easy to get right.
