**Good to know:** Bouncer Bot was created to fill the needs of StockDrops, a Discord server with over 100 thousand members. If it's good enough for StockDrops it's probably good enough for you.

The bot is being actively developed and we keep adding new things very frequently.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Bouncer Bot is a Premium only bot right now. We will release a free with ad support at one point but I want to keep it ad free and without segmentation of features for now.

Since I believe Premium is extremely affordable at the moment, I think it's fair when you take into account the amount of work required to make Bouncer work.

**Disclaimer:** We aim at reducing the number of bots that reach your servers, but of course there's no way for me to guarantee that no bot ever will reach your server. This is meant as a way to dissuade them, and make it harder for them to spam, but it is not impossible that a bot will solve a captcha from time to time.

To reduce the number of bots that make it through, we use both Cloudflare and HCaptcha in their **highest difficulty settings**.

> Bouncer Bot gives your Discord server a way to verify that every joining user is human by forcing them to verify through a captcha on our website.

> With Bouncer Bot, you make sure that your users are human, and that the spam bots stay outside unable to verify.
