ENGAGE IO vs ProBot for Web3
A typical web3 setup runs 5 servers. ProBot costs monthly, 5 servers $25/mo (Premium Tier 1 × 5), against $0 for ENGAGE IO's engagement features.
The gap that matters for web3 servers
Across five servers ProBot's free tier is unusually good value, because moderation and leveling cost nothing per server. The ceiling shows up in incentives: no quest engine, no wallet verification, no public API, and campaign reporting limited to premium server statistics. A contributor programme cannot be run, measured, or reported with it.
What ProBot costs at web3 scale
Five servers on Premium Tier 1 is $25 a month or $200 a year; on Tier 2 it is $50 a month or $400 a year. Since each subscription covers one server and the premium bot must be invited per server, there is no bundle to negotiate, and the spend buys protection rather than the quest and wallet tooling an incentive budget needs.
Setup and migration for a web3 server
Use ProBot free as the moderation layer on every server, which is the cheapest sensible configuration in this comparison, and keep governance and contributor roles on wallet verification. If you need contributor data for grant reporting, plan the export path now: ProBot publishes no API.
The switching mistake web3 servers make
Aesthetic onboarding is not verification, and Web3 servers routinely conflate them because the welcome screen is where both appear. The migration should add a wallet gate at the same point in the flow, not simply reproduce the greeting that was there before.
| Cost line | ProBot | ENGAGE IO |
|---|---|---|
| ProBot monthly, 5 servers | $25/mo (Premium Tier 1 × 5) | $0 |
| ProBot effective monthly, 5 web3 servers | $25 on the cheapest published billing | $0 |
| ProBot three-year total, 5 web3 servers | $900 | $0 |
| ProBot per web3 server per year | $60 | $0 |
| ProBot per 1,000 web3 members per year | $12 at ~25,000 members | $0 |
You must buy a separate subscription per server, though a subscription can be transferred by inviting the premium bot elsewhere. Annual billing is a 50% discount per ProBot's docs.

FAQ
Can ProBot gate channels by token holdings?▼
No. There is no wallet linking or holder verification, so governance and contributor access cannot be derived from on-chain balances. That has to come from a bot that reads the chain, such as ENGAGE IO.
Is ProBot's free tier enough for a five-server protocol?▼
For moderation and leveling, largely yes, and that is a real saving. For incentive programmes it is not, since quests, verified off-platform actions, and participation analytics are all absent at every tier.
Includes a 2-week premium trial when you add the bot.
