Nexus vs Dyno.
Dyno has been moderating Discord servers since 2016 — solid, dependable, toggle-driven. Nexus takes a different angle: describe what you want, AI builds the command, deploy in seconds. Here's a side-by-side.
you want to move past toggle-driven configuration. Best when your moderation needs are unusual, when you'd rather describe behavior in English than search 30 settings panels, or when you run multiple servers and don't want to repeat the setup on each one.
you've been running Dyno for years and the toggle UI is muscle memory. Dyno is rock-solid for classic moderation use cases and has a longer track record. If your needs are standard and you're not switching for a specific reason, staying put is a fine choice.
What you actually get for the money.
Honest side-by-side comparison. Where Dyno is better, we say so.

You don't have to do it all at once. Run both bots side-by-side, replicate features one by one, then disable Dyno.
Add Nexus alongside Dyno
Install Nexus from getnexus.me. The two bots can co-exist on the same server while you migrate — Dyno keeps doing what it does today.
Replicate your Dyno commands with prompts
Open the AI Command Builder and describe each command Dyno currently handles: "auto-warn members who post 5 messages in 10 seconds", "give the verified role on /verify", "log deleted messages to #mod-log". Each one deploys instantly.
Move your moderation rules over
Recreate your auto-mod ruleset via Nexus's contextual moderation panel. The AI version catches paraphrased rule-breaks Dyno's keyword filters miss, so you can usually simplify the ruleset in the process.
Disable Dyno modules as you replace them
When a Nexus feature is doing the same job, switch off the Dyno equivalent. After the last module is replaced, kick Dyno. Zero downtime, no data loss for the features you've migrated.
About switching from Dyno.
The questions every Dyno user asks before migrating. Still need answers? Ask in our Discord.
For the core moderation, custom commands, welcome messages, reaction roles and audit logging — yes. The settings live in different panels, but the capabilities map cleanly. The one Dyno feature without a Nexus equivalent is built-in music playback, which Discord's API restrictions make expensive to operate well.
Not automatically. The two bots store rules differently, so you'll re-enter them on the Nexus side. Most users find they can simplify the ruleset because Nexus's contextual AI moderation catches paraphrased and coded harassment that keyword/regex filters miss — so you don't need 50 patterns when 5 broader rules cover the same ground.
It depends on how many servers you run. Dyno Premium charges per server (~$5.99/month each as of 2026). Nexus Pro is €5/month for 15 servers. For 1-2 servers the prices are close; for 3+ servers Nexus is significantly cheaper. Free tiers also differ: Nexus Free = 1 server; Dyno Free = unlimited servers with feature caps.
Dyno uses keyword lists, regex patterns and Discord's built-in filters — fast, deterministic, but blind to context (a paraphrased slur or coded link slips through). Nexus uses contextual AI moderation that reads the meaning of a message, so it catches what keyword filters miss while flagging fewer false positives on slang, jokes and edge cases.
Both ship a real-time web dashboard. Dyno's is feature-toggle heavy — long pages of switches grouped by module. Nexus's leans on the AI command builder and custom-command JSON editor, with a smaller toggle surface. Neither requires you to write code.
Move past toggle-driven configuration.
Free plan covers 1 server, no credit card. 7-day Pro trial gets you 15 servers + AI commands. You can run Nexus and Dyno in parallel while you migrate — no rip-and-replace.
