Guild and Collab.Land compared
How Guild and Collab.Land differ on Discord and Telegram gating, chains, points, AI agents and pricing, and when each is the better fit.
Guild and Collab.Land both give Discord and Telegram members roles based on the tokens and NFTs they hold. Collab.Land is a bot that verifies wallets inside your server or group, and it covers more chains outside EVM, including Solana, TON and Bitcoin NFTs. Guild is a community home on guild.xyz: it checks onchain activity, social accounts and Guild activity as well as holdings, and it adds points, quests, gated pages and an MCP server for AI agents, with a flat price per guild that does not depend on member count.
The Collab.Land details on this page come from its own site, docs and pricing page, as of November 2026. Check the sources for anything that may have changed.

When to choose Guild
- You gate by more than holdings. A Guild role can ask for a token balance and an X follow, a Discord role, a GitHub account of a certain age or a first transaction months ago, combined with All, Any one or Some. See Requirements.
- You want quests and points. Give points when members earn a role, rank them on a leaderboard, and let balances unlock further roles. See Points.
- Your community is large. Guild's prices are per guild and the pricing page lists unlimited members, so growth doesn't move you to a higher plan.
- You want an AI agent to run it. Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor or another MCP client and ask it to create roles, requirements and rewards. See Agents.
- You want a home outside Discord. Guild has pages, feeds, announcements and chat, open to everyone or locked behind roles.
When to choose Collab.Land
- Your token lives outside EVM. Guild's onchain requirements work on EVM chains only. Collab.Land lists Solana, TON, Bitcoin NFTs, Flow, NEAR, Tezos, XRPL and others.
- You gate by NFT traits. Collab.Land's attribute rules check an NFT's metadata, such as a trait value. Guild checks collections and token IDs, not traits.
- You want members to stay in Discord. Collab.Land's verification starts in the server. With Guild, members connect their accounts and claim roles on guild.xyz.
- Your community is small and only needs holder roles. Collab.Land's Starter plan is free up to 25 verified members.
You can run both: give each bot its own Discord roles.
Moving from Collab.Land to Guild
- Create a guild at /create.
- In the admin panel, open Spaces & roles and choose New role for each Collab.Land rule.
- Under Who gets it, press Requirement and pick Token balance or NFT Balance. Use the same chain, contract address and amount as the Collab.Land rule. For a staking contract, use a contract query.
- Under Unlocks, press Add reward and pick Discord. Connect your server, invite the bot, and choose Existing role to keep the Discord role your members already know, or New role. Turn off the matching Collab.Land rule first, so only one bot manages that role.
- In your server's settings, drag the Guild.xyz bot role above every role Guild manages.
- For Telegram, add a Telegram reward, add @Guildxyz_bot to the group as an admin and paste the Group ID it posts. See Telegram rewards.
- Post your guild's link in the server. Members connect their wallets and Discord account on Guild and claim their roles.
Keep any rule for a non-EVM token or an NFT trait on Collab.Land: Guild can't check those.
FAQ
Is Guild a free alternative to Collab.Land? Discord and Telegram gating are on Guild's Free plan. Paid plans add features such as hidden and secret roles, the member CRM, analytics and forms; see Plans.
Does Guild support Solana? No. Guild's onchain requirements work on 50 EVM mainnets. See Supported chains.
Do members have to verify again? Yes. Each member connects their wallets and their Discord or Telegram account to Guild once; after that Guild refreshes the data in the background and updates their roles.
Can an AI agent set up token gating in Guild? Yes, through the Guild MCP server, in beta and free on every plan. A connection manages one guild, with the permissions you grant (Read, Manage, Member data, Moderation); agents can't create or delete guilds, and revoking a connection stops it within 15 seconds.
