Honest Comparison

DiscordForge vs top.gg
Different approaches, different goals.

top.gg is the largest Discord bot directory, with a volunteer reviewer team and a huge catalog. DiscordForge is a smaller, newer directory for the international community, focused on curated listings, public uptime, and full Polish alongside English. Here's an honest comparison.

What "Forge Verified" actually means

We verify that the person submitting the bot owns it, read the listing for accuracy and policy violations, and keep an eye on public online status after it goes live. We do not audit source code, and we don't claim to. top.gg does functional testing in a verification server. That is a different kind of review, not a worse one.

Smaller catalog, faster queue

top.gg's queue runs 1 to 2 weeks because the volume is enormous. Our catalog is a fraction of that size, so reviews usually clear within a few hours. If you want maximum reach, list on both. If you want a smaller, slower paced directory with native Polish support alongside English, start here.
