RestoreCord vs Xenon: Pricing and Limits

What each plan actually stores, how often it captures, and what really determines how long a restore takes.

By RestoreCord Editorial TeamPublished July 23, 2026Reviewed August 8, 2026

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

On the numbers that decide a restore, RestoreCord is ahead nearly everywhere: 2,000 messages per channel against Xenon's 250, message backup on the free plan where Xenon has none, published attachment coverage where Xenon publishes no allowance, and member recovery Xenon does not offer at any price. Xenon's one clear win is stored backup count — 250 slots against 50. Depth versus breadth, and depth is what makes a restored server feel like the one people left.

Where the money goes

Both products are cheap enough that price is rarely the deciding factor — RestoreCord runs €5 to €20 a month, Xenon's Premium levels sit in a similar range with the exact figure shown at checkout. What differs is what the money buys.

Limit-by-limit coverage

RestoreCordXenon
  • Messages per channel100% / 13%

    2,000 against 250 at each product's ceiling. RestoreCord's mid plan alone doubles Xenon's top.

  • Message backup on the free tier100% / 0%

    50 per channel against none at all.

  • Documented attachment coverage90% / 20%

    Images and GIFs from Business, broader file types on Enterprise. Xenon publishes no attachment quota.

  • Stored backup slots20% / 100%

    Xenon wins outright — 250 stored backups at the top against 50.

  • Automatic backup frequency control90% / 55%

    Hourly, daily, weekly, or chosen dates against a fixed count of automatic backups per server.

  • Member recovery95% / 0%

    Not something Xenon offers at any price.

Scored against each product's own published ceiling in that category. Xenon takes stored backup count; RestoreCord takes depth, attachments, scheduling control, and recovery.

RestoreCord plans and limits

Snapshot depth and count both scale with the plan, and every tier includes verification and uncapped member recovery.

Member recovery is separate from the snapshot. Members are not stored inside a structure backup — each one must have completed Discord OAuth before the incident, remain eligible, and be accepted by Discord when the pull runs.

Xenon also publishes message backup across all channels, thread and forum-post backup in beta, role assignments, nicknames, bans, and synchronization. Its public Premium page does not state a separate attachment-storage quota.

Backup frequency and how much you can lose

Frequency sets your recovery-point objective — how much recent activity falls outside your newest restore point. A daily capture can leave almost a day of changes unprotected.

RestoreCord's scheduled snapshots run hourly, daily, weekly, or on selected dates where the plan allows. Xenon publishes a fixed count of automatic backups per server: one on Free, then two, four, and eight. Count and frequency are different levers — a tool can hold many old backups while capturing rarely, or capture often while rotating a small history.

Point-in-time snapshot restore

Scheduled snapshots give you a clean point to fall back to. You pick the restore point rather than accepting whatever state the server was left in.

Restore speed: what actually controls it

Neither vendor should sell you a fixed restore time, and we are not going to. Discord rate-limits how fast any bot can create channels, roles, permission overwrites, webhooks, and messages, so a bigger snapshot means more API calls and a longer restore. The variables:

  • Number of channels, roles, permission overwrites, and messages in the snapshot
  • Whether attachments have to be retrieved and re-uploaded
  • Discord API rate limits, outages, and retry responses on the day
  • Bot installation, role position, and any missing permissions
  • Whether the destination is empty or has to be cleared first
  • For member recovery, authorization validity and each member's eligibility

Test both recovery time and recovery completeness on a non-production server. Record snapshot size, start and finish times, skipped objects, and manual cleanup — that measurement is worth more than any vendor claim, ours included.

Which fits which job

Choose RestoreCord when

  • You need message history beyond 250 per channel.
  • You need documented image, GIF, or broader attachment coverage.
  • You need members back, not just channels.
  • You want snapshots alongside firewall, custom-bot, and migration controls in one dashboard.
  • You want control over capture frequency rather than a fixed automatic count.

Choose Xenon when

  • You want the largest possible number of stored restore points.
  • You mainly need channels, roles, settings, and reusable templates.
  • You need its cloning or cross-server synchronization workflow.
  • Its 250-per-channel message ceiling covers your requirement.
  • You do not need member recovery.

Our verdict

RestoreCord

On every limit that determines what a restored server actually contains — message depth, attachment coverage, scheduling control, and whether the members come back — RestoreCord is ahead. Xenon wins on how many restore points you can keep.

  • 2,000 messages per channel against 250, and 50 on Free where Xenon has none
  • Published attachment coverage; Xenon states no attachment allowance
  • Hourly, daily, weekly, or date-based schedules rather than a fixed automatic count
  • Member recovery included on every plan, which Xenon does not offer at any price
  • Snapshots share a dashboard with verification, firewall, and migration

Where that flips: Xenon stores up to 250 backups against RestoreCord's 50. If your priority is the largest possible number of rollback points for a frequently-restructured server — rather than depth inside each one — that is a real advantage and it is Xenon's.
