Best Discord bots for small servers under 500

Problem

Discord Insights says 'Server too small'

Solution · Analytics Dashboard

server.ninja has no minimum. Full analytics dashboard, heatmaps, and engagement scoring from member #1

Problem

Growing or dying? No way to tell

Solution · Growth Intelligence

Growth trend charts show daily/weekly member trajectory. Combined with retention rate, you know if growth is real or just churn

Problem

Every member matters but no way to track who's engaged

Solution · Engagement Scoring

Engagement scoring rates each member 0-100. In a 50-person server, knowing your 10 most active members is critical

Problem

Don't know what to focus on to grow

Solution · Health Check

Health check scores 6 categories: engagement, retention, growth, moderation, content, and voice. Fix the lowest score first

Problem

Can't afford analytics bots — Statbot Premium is $5.99/mo

Solution · Free Tier

server.ninja's free tier is more feature-complete than Statbot Premium. Analytics, moderation, leveling, welcome — all at $0

Problem

First 50 members are the hardest — no guidance

Solution · Retention Funnels

Retention funnels show exactly where your first members drop off. Fix onboarding before scaling — it's cheaper than advertising
