Discord bot statistics
Counted figures on the Discord bot ecosystem — directory ranks, category coverage, platform limits and capability counts. Every number sourced and dated, free to cite.
Checked 31 August 2026
Discord's own App Directory
Counted by walking the Moderation and Tools category page by page in rank order. Directory position is a function of installs, and it moves.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Apps listed in Discord's Moderation and Tools category | ~10,139 |
| Rank of MEE6 in that category | 21st |
| Rank of Color-Chan, a single-purpose colour-role bot | 19th |
| Rank of Dyno | 5th |
| Rank of ProBot | 14th |
Category coverage
Counted across the competitor set examined for this publication. Each underlying claim is sourced on the article that makes it.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|

| Of those, how many ship genuine anti-nuke protection | 3 |
| Discord bots found publishing a documented public REST API | 13 |
| Rows in MEE6's own free-versus-paid comparison table | 37 |
| Of those 37 rows, how many MEE6's free tier covers | 3 |

| Slash commands | more than 70 |

Citing these figures
Every figure on this page is free to cite. Each was counted or read from a primary source on the date stamped above, and the method is stated beside each table so the count can be repeated rather than taken on trust. Where a figure comes from a category we examined rather than the whole platform, the scope is written into the label — "of sixteen moderation and security bots examined" is a bounded claim, and it is bounded deliberately.
Directory ranks move as installs change. Platform limits move when Discord changes them. Treat the date as part of the figure.
