# Why Choose Bot Maker for Discord

In 

# Comparison with Other Bot Makers

The bot makers I will be comparing this app with are:

  • Discord Bot Maker (DBM)
  • Discord Bot Builder (DBB)
  • Bot Studio for Discord (BS(f)D)

# Generalized User Types

  • I want the latest Discord API features without having the app:
    Bot Maker for Discord (BMD)

  • I’m fine with modding the app for extra features:
    DBB, BMD*, DBM*

    • Note: DBM-Mods doesn’t include the latest Discord API v10 features.
    • BMD has a wide range of mods, but the app's base includes plenty of features, reducing the need for them.

  • I want stability and wouldn’t mind having an outdated feature set:
    DBM, BS(f)D*

    • BS(f)D has a mediocre base, and mods cannot be used within events, which are essential for command functionality. Its integration of slash commands, buttons, and select menus is lacking.

  • I want a bot maker with lots of video tutorials:
    DBM, BS(f)D*

    • Many BS(f)D tutorials are under the name "Discord Bot Studio" due to a name change.

  • I want an app that's in active development:
    BMD*, DBB*

    • Rat is a human and cannot incorporate all suggestions in each update, so BMD may not always have the features you suggest.
    • DBB has shown limited update activity recently; the developer went on a lengthy break before releasing an update.

  • I want something that I can speedrun:
    BMD, DBM

  • I want something that's easily readable (allowing me to pick up where I left off the next day):
    BMD, DBM

    • Due to extreme similarities between DBM and BMD, they are practically identical in this regard.
    • Discord Bot Builder would be included, but workspaces can get cluttered easily.

  • I’m an organization freak:
    BMD, DBM

  • I want customization:
    BMD
