A free Discord backup bot: what RestoreCord Free includes
Plenty of bots call themselves free and then lock restores behind a paywall. RestoreCord's Free plan keeps the recovery basics free for good. Here's exactly what's in it, where the limits are, and when paying starts to make sense.
Short answer
RestoreCord Free costs €0 with no time limit. It covers one server, one custom bot, one snapshot with 50 messages per channel, unlimited restorable members with no pull cooldown, captcha, vouches, Discovery and API access.
What you get for nothing
The free tier isn't a demo. It's built so a single community can survive a nuke without paying anything:
- Unlimited restorable members, with no RestoreCord cooldown between pulls
- One server snapshot holding up to 50 messages per channel, plus the Backup Previewer
- One custom bot with your name and avatar, online around the clock, with slash commands
- Captcha at verification and webhook logs for your staff channel
- Vouches with /vouch, feedback packs, a Discovery listing and shop products
- A real-time migration log and API access
Where Free stops
The limits are about scale and depth, not about holding your data hostage:
| Area | On Free | First plan that lifts it |
|---|---|---|
| Servers and custom bots | 1 of each | Premium: 5 of each |
| Snapshots kept | 1 | Premium: 5 |
| Messages per channel | 50 | Premium: 200 |
| Pull delay | Fixed | Premium: adjustable range |
| Blacklist, anti-VPN, alt detection | Not included | Premium |
| Sub-users for your staff | Locked | Premium |
| Automated backups | Manual only | Business |
With only one snapshot slot, a new snapshot means deciding what to replace. Take a fresh one before any big change so your single restore point is never months old.
Signs it's time to upgrade
Most owners stay on Free until one of these happens:
- Banned members keep returning on new accounts, which Premium's alt detection and auto-blacklist on ban are built for
- You open a second server, or want a separate bot per community
- Moderators need dashboard access without your login, which is what sub-users are for
- You want backups to happen without anyone remembering, which arrives with Business's automated schedule
Premium is €5 a month and covers the first three. Business at €10 adds automated backups, 25 servers and verification page branding, and you can try it for 14 days without entering a card. Paying yearly takes 30% off any paid plan.
Is there a catch?
No restore fees, no member cap and no trial clock on the free tier. The honest trade-off is depth: one restore point, 50 messages per channel and none of the advanced firewall checks. For a small or new server that's often enough. For a server where raids or ban evasion are a regular thing, it isn't, and that's where the paid tiers earn their price.
