What is HoneyGate?
A plain-English intro to what HoneyGate is and what it does for your Discord server.
HoneyGate is an all-in-one bot for your Discord server. Instead of running four or five separate bots — one for roles, one for levels, one for giveaways, one to keep out spam — HoneyGate does all of it from one place. It works for any community, big or small.
Think of it as the staff member who never sleeps: it greets new people, hands out the right roles, runs your games and giveaways, keeps troublemakers out, and answers questions — all automatically, based on rules you set once.
What you can do with it
Here are the big things, in plain terms:
- Give people roles automatically. Let members pick their own roles from a menu (color roles, game pings, interests), hand out a role when someone reaches a level, or grant a "Verified" role after a quick check. HoneyGate assigns and removes roles for you based on the rules you set — no manual role-clicking.
- Welcome new members with a custom message and starter roles the moment they join.
- Reward activity. People earn points for chatting, reacting, and joining voice calls. Those points unlock levels, roles, and items in your shop — so your most active members get recognized.
- Run giveaways and games with a click — including games like prediction calls and a social deduction game your community can play together.
- Keep your server safe. HoneyGate can spot likely duplicate ("alt") accounts, filter spam and scam links, and — if you turn it on — use AI to flag suspicious messages for your staff to review.
- Grow your community with invite tracking (see who's bringing people in), launch countdowns, and scheduled announcements.
- Got a crypto community? (optional) HoneyGate can also connect members' wallets and give roles based on the tokens or NFTs they hold — for example, "hold 100 of our token → Holder role." It's completely optional: if that's not your community, just leave it off and use everything above.
You turn on only the features you want. Everything has an off switch.
Who it's for
- Members just use the server normally — verify once, then earn rewards and play along.
- Server owners and staff set up the rules and features from a simple admin panel (no coding).
- Marketers use the growth tools to bring people in and keep them engaged.
- Developers can connect HoneyGate to other tools using our API and webhooks.
There's a guide for each of those groups in this documentation.
Free or paid?
HoneyGate has a free plan that covers the essentials — welcomes, self-assign roles, points & XP, automatic levels & role rewards, basic giveaways, and the admin panel — plus a Pro plan that adds the advanced growth tools (like quests, tickets, starboard, and scheduled announcements). You can see exactly what's in each on the Plans & Billing page, and you never pay for anything you haven't turned on.
