Guilds.me vs Top.gg

Top.gg grew up listing bots. Servers get a corner of the site — here, they get the whole thing.

Top.gg started as, and is still best known as, a place to find Discord bots. Server listings were added on top of an already-huge bot marketplace — which means a server profile on Top.gg is competing for attention against thousands of bot listings, not just other servers.

Guilds.me only does one thing: help people find Discord servers. There's no bot marketplace to share space with — every part of the site, from search to sorting to the homepage, is built around server discovery specifically.

How they compare

Feature	Guilds.me	Top.gg
Primary focus	Discord servers only	Bots first, servers as a secondary section
Discovery method	Fuzzy search across name, description, tags & keywords	Category browsing, tags, upvote count
Written reviews & ratings	Yes, with owner replies	Limited to upvotes for servers
Custom vanity URL	Yes, on Premium	Not available for servers
Referral program	Yes — earn Premium credit for referrals	Not available
AI-assisted listing description	Yes, on Premium	Not available

Where Top.gg wins

Top.gg's scale is real — it's one of the most recognized names in the Discord ecosystem, and a lot of that traffic comes from people who are already there to browse bots and stumble into servers along the way. If your community is closely tied to a bot you also run or use heavily, being visible in the same ecosystem has genuine cross-traffic value.

Where Guilds.me wins

On a bot-first directory, a server listing is one line among thousands of bot cards. On Guilds.me, it's the entire experience — search actually understands typos and partial names (try misspelling a server name and see what still turns up), reviews give visitors a reason to trust a server before joining, and Premium is built specifically around server growth: vanity URLs, extra tags and keywords, AI help writing your description, and highlighted placement.
