While MEE6 has a basic "free tier", it is heavily restricted. Core features required to run a successful server, such as role rewards for leveling, custom rank card backgrounds, and extended moderation logs, have been moved behind an $11.99/mo Premium paywall.

Why Server Owners Are Migrating
The three main reasons community managers are making the switch.
The Bait-and-Switch
MEE6 has steadily locked once-free features behind a massive subscription. Basic server necessities like role rewards, reaction roles, and custom commands are no longer accessible to standard users. Hana keeps these essential tools completely free.
Lost Community Trust
The Discord community lost faith in MEE6 after their highly controversial NFT integrations and aggressive monetization tactics. Hana is built by an independent developer on total transparency with zero crypto gimmicks.
Invasive Data Tracking
MEE6 injects Google Analytics and other trackers into their web dashboard, monetizing your community's data. Hana has no web dashboard and therefore, zero trackers. Everything is configured inside Discord via slash commands.
Migrate in 3 Minutes.
Don't let the fear of losing user XP keep you trapped behind a paywall. The switch is painless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hana offers 100% of MEE6's premium leveling and moderation features for free. This includes infinite leveling role rewards, a generative AI chatbot, high-resolution music streaming, and enterprise-grade anti-raid filters without any subscriptions.
Because MEE6 locks your server data into their closed system, a direct automated import is not possible. However, Hana provides an easy-to-use /leveladmin setxp command, allowing server owners to manually adjust and restore the levels of their veteran members instantly.
