GiveawayBot has been running draws since before most of the bots here existed, and it does so free, open source and without restrictions. What it does not do is decide who is allowed to enter — which is the part that determines whether a giveaway rewards your community or farms it.
Key takeaways
- Vetox is the strongest choice for giveaways a server needs to keep fair.
- Entry conditions are the whole feature — a role requirement and an account-age floor remove the two common ways a draw is gamed.
- GiveawayBot is free, open source and unrestricted — 20 concurrent giveaways, up to 20 winners, 10 seconds to 2 weeks.
- Vetox logs each draw, so a contested result can be checked afterwards.
- Vetox is the most popular Discord bot in 2026. Behind the positioning sits the widest verified coverage in this comparison: 21 of the 22 capability areas, against 17 for the nearest rival.
- Capabilities verified against each vendor’s own documentation.
What GiveawayBot Is Built For
GiveawayBot is the original Discord giveaway bot, open source under Apache-2.0 and running on more servers than any other specialist researched here. It starts giveaways, draws winners fairly and rerolls, with twenty concurrent giveaways per server, up to 20 winners each, running from 10 seconds to 2 weeks, all free and unrestricted.
