MEE6 vs DonateBot: pros and cons
MEE6
Where it falls short for Discord role shops
- Monetize is one plugin inside a broad moderation/leveling bot, with a 5% fee per subscription
- Built around subscription plans tied to roles/channels — less suited to a catalog of many individual one-time role products
- Server owners who only want a role shop still take on MEE6's wider feature surface and settings
DonateBot
Why servers switch
- Dedicated shop and payouts, not a premium add-on
- Works alongside MEE6 or any other bot
- Transparent early-access fee per sale
- Dashboard focused on products and sales
Setup is intentionally short: add the bot, place its role above products you sell, run /setup, create products in the dashboard, and share /shop with members. Sales and fees appear in the owner dashboard.
