What is HoneyGate?

A plain-English intro to what HoneyGate is and what it does for your Discord server.

HoneyGate is one bot that does the work of five. Most servers end up stacking a bot for roles, another for levels, one for giveaways, and yet another to fight spam. HoneyGate runs all of it from a single place, and it fits a 50-person Discord just as well as a 50,000-person one.

Think of it as the staff member who never clocks out. It greets new arrivals, hands out the right roles, runs your games and giveaways, keeps troublemakers at the door, and answers the questions you're tired of answering yourself. Everything runs on rules you set once and then stop thinking about.

What you can do with it

The short version:

• Hand out roles on autopilot. Members pick their own from a menu (color roles, game pings, whatever they want to flag about themselves). A role can land when someone hits a level, or after they pass a quick "Verified" check. You write the rule once and HoneyGate does the clicking, adding and pulling roles as things change.
• Welcome new members the second they join, with a message you write and starter roles already attached.
• Reward the regulars. People earn points for chatting, reacting, and hopping into voice. Those points turn into levels, roles, and things worth buying in your shop, so the members who actually show up get noticed for it.
• Run giveaways and games from a single click, including prediction calls and a social-deduction game your whole server can pile into.
• Keep the place safe. HoneyGate spots likely duplicate ("alt") accounts and filters spam and scam links on its own. Want an extra layer? Switch on the AI check and it flags sketchy messages for your staff to review.
• Grow the community with invite tracking that shows who's really bringing people in, plus launch countdowns and announcements you line up in advance.
• Running a crypto community? (optional) HoneyGate can connect members' wallets and grant roles based on the tokens or NFTs they hold. Picture "hold 100 of our token, get the Holder role." If that's not your world, leave it switched off and everything above still works exactly the same.

You switch on only what you want. Every feature has an off switch.

Who it's for

• Members just use the server like normal. Verify once, then earn rewards and play along.
• Owners and staff set the rules from a plain admin panel. No code, no config files to wrestle with.
• Marketers get the growth tools for pulling people in and keeping them around.
• Developers can wire HoneyGate into other tools with our API and webhooks.

There's a guide for each of those groups in this documentation.

Free or paid?

The free plan covers the essentials: welcomes, self-assign roles, points and XP, automatic levels with role rewards, basic giveaways, and the full admin panel. The Pro plan layers on the heavier growth tools like quests, tickets, starboard, and scheduled announcements. The Plans & Billing page spells out exactly what sits in each, and you never pay for anything you haven't switched on.
