Get Started (Free)
Set up SecurityBot's free tier on your Discord server in minutes.
The free tier gives you scammer alerts, basic chat filtering, CAPTCHA verification, and activity logging at no cost. Follow these steps to get protected.
1. Invite SecurityBot
Click the invite link on securitybot.gg or use the "Add to Discord" button on the pricing page. Select your Discord server and grant the requested permissions.
SecurityBot needs Administrator permission to function correctly. Without it, some features may not work as expected.
2. Position the SecurityBot Role
In your Discord server settings, go to Roles and drag the SecurityBot role above the roles it needs to manage. SecurityBot can only moderate users with roles below its own.
3. Run the Setup Wizard
Type /setup in any channel. The wizard walks you through configuring your server step by step.
On the free tier, the wizard covers:
Setting staff roles (admin and moderator)
Choosing a log channel
Configuring chat filters (links, addresses, handles, invites)
Setting up ignored channels and categories
Enabling CAPTCHA verification
Some steps like bot purging and preset allowlists are only available on Premium. The wizard automatically skips these on the free tier.
4. What You Get
Once setup is complete, your server is protected with:
Scammer alerts - Known scammers trigger a log notification when they join. Your mods can then ban manually.
Chat filters - Links, wallet addresses, handles, and invites are filtered automatically (10 actions/day cap).
Allowlists - Approve trusted domains, addresses, handles, and invites so legitimate content isn't blocked.
CAPTCHA verification - New members must complete a CAPTCHA before gaining access.
Activity logging - All SecurityBot actions are logged to your designated channel.
For details on free tier limits, see Free Tier Limits.
