As the biggest and most popular AI-powered Free-to-use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol or the technology that converts your voice into a digital signal) server available online, Discord allows users to get the best chat experience through the use of ‘bots’ (or robots) commands.
Rythm on the other hand is a dedicated music bot that can access and play songs from popular music streaming platforms like YouTube, Apple Music, and so on. With Rythm Discord bots, you can listen, change, and search for any song on your mind with ease from your Discord server.
Rythm Discord bot also supports music playback, import and export of playlists, and can put all your favorite songs on a queue for your listening pleasure whenever you’re ready. All these features are aimed at one thing: to make your life easier by automating boring or repetitive commands so you don’t have to do them every time, yet keeping your experience optimal. They are often free to use but can be upgraded (paid) for additional features.
