Noxyr vs Jockie Music: Multi-Bot Music or Free Music Plus Tools?

Quick verdict

• Pick Jockie Music if more than one voice room wants different music at the same time.
• Pick Noxyr if one player per server covers you and you want 24/7, filters and lyrics without a plan.
• Mix them. Keep Jockie for the busy rooms and use Noxyr for the main one.

Feature comparison

Setup

With Noxyr, join a voice channel and run /play with a name or link. Then choose a DJ role and a request channel under Automation, Music on the dashboard, or with /music settings. The same command sets 24/7 mode. Read the music docs for each option.

Jockie's setup is its multi-bot idea: invite up to four bots and they share one prefix and command set. When the first bot is busy, the next in line joins your channel.

Pricing

Jockie's Patreon page lists seven monthly tiers from 5 USD to 100 USD. The tier page does not say what each includes. The Discord Bot List page says premium raises the bot count to up to 23 extra bots. I could not read Jockie's FAQ, so I do not state what 24/7 costs there.

Noxyr music has no paid tier and no vote-locked command. The optional Donor plan on the donors page (2 USD for a month, 20 USD for 18 months or 40 USD once) covers extras like a custom bot and locks no module.

Where Jockie Music is stronger

• Several rooms at once. This is the headline reason to pick it.
• Wider source list. Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp and radio stations are listed on its page.
• Over 150 commands, plus a Guess the Song game and a statistics dashboard.

Where Noxyr is stronger

• Price. No Patreon tier needed for anything in the music module.
• One bot in your member list. Four bot accounts is clutter if you have one voice room.
• Resilience. A failed track is retried up to 10 times before it skips, and a backup audio server takes over automatically.
• Request channel and DJ role. Members queue songs by typing. See request channel and DJ role.
• Everything else. Tickets, shop and moderation share the dashboard. Details on the music bot page and 24/7 music.

Switching or adding Noxyr

1. Count your voice rooms. If more than one needs music at once, keep Jockie for that.
2. Invite Noxyr from the invite link and run /play.
3. Set the room up with a DJ role and request channel.
4. Turn on 24/7 with /music settings if you want the bot to stay.
5. Move playlists. Paste a YouTube or Spotify playlist link into /play to queue it whole.

Who should pick which

A server with many voice rooms. Picture a community with a gaming room, a study room and a chill room, all wanting different music at once. One player per server cannot do that, and Jockie's multi-bot design exists for exactly this case.

A server with one main music room. Here Noxyr's single player, queue and dashboard player are plenty, and you skip a subscription. Set a DJ role, a request channel and 24/7 mode once and leave it.

A server that likes slash commands. The Jockie listing shows m! prefix commands. Noxyr music is driven by slash commands and the dashboard. Read prefix vs slash commands if your members still type prefixes.

A server that wants sound tweaks. Noxyr offers filters from a dropdown and synced lyrics. See the lyrics bot page. I could not confirm whether Jockie offers either, so check before assuming.
