Appy Alternatives: Discord Application Bots Compared

What Appy does well

Appy's home page describes a free Discord bot for application forms, tickets, giveaways and member verification. Applicants complete forms inside Discord rather than on an outside site, and staff review responses as Discord embeds. The setup is described as taking minutes.

Its premium page is unusually clear about limits, which makes it easy to judge fairly:

• Both plans: unlimited form submissions, giveaways, website captcha verification and application logging.
• Free: 2 application forms, 10 questions per form, 1 application panel and 1 ticket panel.
• Premium: 200 forms, 100 questions per form and 50 panels of each kind, plus in-Discord verification, regex validation of answers, custom completion messages, cooldowns and time limits, submission history and full embed customization.
• Price: 4.99 GBP a month, or 3.99 GBP a month billed yearly (47.90 GBP a year).

The Appy docs add that Premium x1 covers one server and Premium x3 covers up to three, and that custom bot identity is a separate subscription.

Why people look elsewhere

Only reasons the pages above support:

• Two forms is tight. Staff, builder, partner and moderator applications already use all of them.
• Cooldowns and time limits are premium. Without them, rejected applicants can reapply right away.
• Embed styling is premium. Free servers cannot fully customize the application embeds.
• Per-server premium. Slots are counted by server, so a network of communities adds up.

1. Noxyr

Best for: servers that want several application forms and a cooldown without paying.

Noxyr's staff applications work like this. A member presses the Apply button, a private channel opens that only they and the staff role can see, and the bot asks the questions one at a time. Each answer can run to 1,000 characters, and a restart resumes at the next unanswered question. Typing cancel stops it.

• Forms: /application create makes as many forms as you like, each with its own questions, review channel and Apply button.
• Questions: any number, 250 characters each, added with /application question-add.
• Cooldown: cooldown_days from 0 to 365, 14 by default.
• Review: the finished application goes to a review channel with Accept and Reject buttons. Accept gives an accept role if you set one, and the applicant gets a DM either way.

Trade-offs: Noxyr's docs do not describe regex answer validation, time limits or a submission history page, and it asks questions in a private channel rather than a pop-up form. If you rely on those, Appy premium is ahead. Noxyr tickets, a shop and security come in the same bot, but you may not need them. See the application bot page.

2. Tickety

Best for: applications, tickets and verification in one free-to-start bot.

Tickety's premium page lists an application system, a ticket system, verification and giveaways, plus application time limits and editing answers before submitting. It does not say which plan each belongs to, so check before you rely on them. Premium is 5.99 EUR a month or 49.99 EUR a year per server, and its docs say free servers have capped panels. More in Tickety alternatives.

3. An external form

Best for: one-off or rare recruitment.

A form tool outside Discord costs nothing and works for a single hiring round. Applicants leave Discord, though, and nothing posts a result back to a channel on its own. Fine for twice a year, tiring for twice a week.

Comparison table

How to move your applications

1. Copy your questions. Export or paste each form's questions and the roles you hand out on accept.
2. Add Noxyr. Invite it and run /application create once per form.
3. Set the rules. /application setup takes the review channel, the category for applicant channels, staff role, accept role and cooldown days.
4. Add questions and post. /application question-add, then /application post in your apply channel.
5. Finish open applications in Appy, then remove it. Submission history does not transfer.
