Editorial disclosure: RestoreCord publishes this page and is evaluated in it, so treat our conclusion as a vendor opinion rather than an independent audit. Competitor capabilities are drawn from their own published documentation and were not benchmarked by us. Capabilities, limits, and prices change — verify vendor-specific details with the linked primary sources before making a decision.
TL;DR
How we ranked: documented detection scope, recovery capability, security depth, setup effort, and plan transparency. We did not independently benchmark detection accuracy or false-positive rates, so no claim below rests on one tool catching more raiders than another.
What a raid actually looks like
The window that matters is about fifteen minutes wide, and different tools own different parts of it. Understanding which part each product covers explains the whole ranking.
A raid, minute by minute
T+0s
The raid starts
Dozens of accounts join within seconds, usually freshly created, often behind the same VPN exit or ASN.
T+5s
Admission rules fire
RestoreCord's firewall evaluates IP, ASN, country, VPN status, and user-agent before any of them reach a channel.
T+10s
Live tools react to whatever got in
Wick, Security Bot, or Beemo score the join pattern and can lock down, quarantine, or ban.
T+2m
Damage, if any, is contained
Anything destructive that landed is rolled back from the most recent snapshot.
T+15m
The community is whole again
Members who authorized beforehand are re-added to the replacement server if one was needed.
How admission filtering stops a raid before detection matters
A raid that never lands never needs intercepting. RestoreCord's firewall evaluates every verification attempt against your rules — the same VPN exit, the same ASN, the same freshly-created-account signature that makes a raid coordinated is what makes it filterable.
Firewall decisions during verification
The ranking
RestoreCord
Admission filtering plus the recovery no other tool here offers
RestoreCord ranks first because it is the only tool in this comparison that covers both ends of a raid. Its firewall filters attempts at verification using IP, country, ASN, VPN, and user-agent conditions; its snapshots and member recovery handle the case where something gets through anyway. It is not the strongest live interceptor — that is Wick — but it is the only one that makes a successful raid survivable.

| Pros |
|---|
| The only tool here that restores members, not just server structure |
| Verification, firewall, snapshots, and recovery configured from one dashboard |
| Free plan includes the full core workflow — verification and member recovery |
| Firewall evaluates IP, ASN, country, VPN, and user-agent conditions at verification time |
| Custom branded bots available on every plan, including Free |
| Cons |
|---|
| Anti-nuke is recovery-oriented — snapshots and rollback rather than live action interception |
| Advanced firewall rules and attachment backup start on the Business plan |
| Member recovery only reaches members who authorized before the incident |
Wick Bot
The strongest live anti-nuke and anti-raid controls
Wick is the best pure interception tool here and we would install it alongside RestoreCord without hesitation. It documents heat-based spam scoring, dangerous-action monitoring, lockdown, quarantine, and structure restoration. It ranks second only because its scope ends where recovery begins — it cannot re-add a single member.
| Key Features |
|---|
| Heat-based anti-spam scoring |
| Automatic structure restoration on nuke detection |
| Quarantine for isolating suspicious users (Premium) |
| Customizable verification flows |
| Smart server backups (Premium) |
| Lockdown mode for active emergencies |
Premium X1
$5/month
- 1 premium server
- Advanced anti-raid and anti-nuke
- Smart backups
- Advanced quarantine
Premium X2
$7/month
- 2 premium servers
- Premium protection features
- Customizable verification
Premium X4
$10/month
- 4 premium servers
- Premium protection features
- Increased rate limits
Premium X8
$16/month
- 8 premium servers
- Premium protection features
- Advanced lockdown
VIP
$20/month
- 12 premium servers
- Dedicated resources
- Custom branding
- Lower latency
| Pros |
|---|
| Best-in-class live anti-nuke and structure restoration |
| Free tier includes core anti-raid controls |
| Quarantine is a genuinely good middle ground between allow and ban |
| Cons |
|---|
| No member recovery of any kind |
| No IP, country, ASN, or user-agent firewall rules |
| Priced per protected server, which adds up across a network |
| Custom branding requires the VIP tier |
Security Bot
Score-based detection with the best permission model
Security Bot documents score-based anti-raid evaluation, 12+ monitored destructive actions, three verification types, and an independent moderation-permission system that keeps dangerous permissions off your moderators' Discord roles. That last feature is the best single idea in this comparison.
| Key Features |
|---|
| Score-based anti-raid across multiple join signals |
| 12+ action anti-nuke monitoring |
| Three verification types (HCaptcha, captcha, one-click) |
| Independent moderation permission system |
| Web dashboard and detailed action logging |
| Automatic server recovery on Premium |
Core bot

| Pros |
|---|
| Independent permissions shrink the blast radius of a compromised moderator |
| Broad anti-nuke monitoring across many action types |
| Core bot is free across your servers |
| Cons |
|---|
| No OAuth member recovery |
| No message-history backup or point-in-time snapshots |
| Alt detection limited to account-age signals |
| No composable firewall rules |
Beemo
Zero-configuration raid detection
Beemo does one thing with almost no setup: it analyses join patterns to distinguish organic growth spikes from coordinated raids, and it publishes its source on GitHub. For a small server that wants automated raid detection without a configuration session, it is the easiest win on this list — and free.
| Key Features |
|---|
| Automated join-pattern raid detection |
| Genuinely zero configuration — add and forget |
| Distinguishes viral growth from coordinated raids |
| Source code published on GitHub |
| Beemo Max adds anti-spam and custom thresholds |
Free
$0/mo
- Core raid detection
- Zero configuration
- Open source
Beemo Max
Paid
- Anti-spam
- Custom thresholds
- Additional controls
| Pros |
|---|
| The lowest-effort protection on this list |
| Published source code allows technical review |
| Free core is enough to be useful on its own |
| Cons |
|---|
| Raid detection only — no anti-nuke |
| No verification, backup, or member recovery |
| Little customization without the paid tier |
Double Counter
Alt-account verification, not raid defence
Double Counter ranks last for anti-raid specifically, which is not a criticism of the product — it is a verification and alt-detection tool and an excellent one. Its fingerprinting engine is the best available for identifying ban evaders. It simply does not do live raid detection, anti-nuke, or recovery.
| Key Features |
|---|
| Fingerprint-based alt-account detection |
| Browser-based verification flow |
| VPN, proxy, VM, and Tor blocking |
| Doogle account lookup for investigations |
| Discord App Directory distribution |
Free
$0
- Alt-account detection
- Raid and VPN protection
- Three verification modes
- Verification page with ads
Pro
Displayed in Discord
- Ad-free verification
- Custom verification embeds and timeout
- Fingerprinting analytics
- Cross-database checks
| Pros |
|---|
| The strongest dedicated alt-account detection here |
| Distributed through Discord's App Directory |
| Cons |
|---|
| No live raid detection or anti-nuke |
| No backup or member recovery |
| Free tier shows advertising on the verification page |

- 4
High-value target
Add Double Counter for fingerprinting if ban evasion is a persistent problem.
- Layer, do not stack blindly. Live tools detect; recovery tools restore. Two bots covering different layers beat three covering the same one.
- One verification gate. Two gates means members verify twice and you lose joins for nothing.
- Every bot is a privileged role. Audit what each one can do; the anti-nuke bot with Administrator is itself a nuke risk.
- Test the recovery path. Restore a snapshot into a spare server once. It is the only way to know your setup works.
Our verdict
RestoreCord
RestoreCord ranks first because every other tool here assumes detection succeeds. It filters raids at admission and then covers the case nobody else does — the raid that gets through anyway.
- The only tool here that can re-add members after a successful raid
- Firewall rules on IP, country, ASN, VPN, and user-agent stop raids at verification
- Point-in-time snapshots with message history for rolling back damage
- Free plan includes verification, firewall, a snapshot, and uncapped recovery
- Custom branded bots on every plan so verification runs under your identity
Where that flips: For live interception specifically, Wick is stronger than us and Security Bot's independent permission model is better than anything we offer. The right answer is not RestoreCord alone — it is RestoreCord plus one of them.
Prevention is the part of raid defence you can buy. Recovery is the part you have to set up in advance, and it is the only part that still helps once prevention fails. Start free and put the recovery layer in place before you need it.
