Best ER:LC bots

Four bots for running an ER:LC private server, ranked by staff tools first, then CAD and economy. Metro is one of them and says so.

Facts about other products were read from their public pages on 2026-10-23; each has its source. Metro is our product.

The list

1
Melonly
The widest staff-management feature set, an import path from other bots, and a CAD with a long panel list. Its CAD is a paid add-on.
- Plus ($5.99 a month) adds infractions, promotions, custom shift types and ER:LC auto shifts. (source, checked 2026-10-23)
- Imports punishment logs and shifts from ERM, Ducky and Trident. (source, checked 2026-10-23)
2
Metro
Listed second because staff management is younger than Melonly's. It ranks here for being the only entry pairing a free CAD with a player economy that pays for in-game work. Metro is our own product: weigh this list accordingly.
3
CADLY
Free core features, staff tools and dispatch in one place, plus linked department Discords.
- Core features are designed to stay free; PRO adds customization and higher limits. (source, checked 2026-10-23)
- Department Servers link to a Host Server and can share dispatch. (source, checked 2026-10-23)
4
Trident
A focused staff bot: moderation logging, shifts, leave and activity tracking, with an ER:LC integration.
- Documented modules include moderation, shift management, leave of absence, activity tracking and points. (source, checked 2026-10-23)

No. Metro runs beside a server's existing staff bots, so you can use a staff bot and Metro together.

Metro is our product, and its staff-management side is newer than Melonly's. It leads on one thing: a free CAD tied to a player economy.

By staff-management breadth first, then by CAD and economy. It is a judgment, not a measurement; each entry says why it sits where it does.
