Sapphire vs Dyno
Two multi-purpose moderation apps with near-identical published capability sets. The differentiators are thin, and the catalog says so.

Best choice by job
| Job | Why |
|---|---|
| Moderation, automod and logging | Both cover filters, manual actions, timed punishments, warnings, audit logging and message logging. No difference in the matrix. |
| Welcome new members | Sapphire documents welcome messages. Welcome-message support in Dyno is not established. |
| Run giveaways | Dyno documents giveaways. Giveaway support in Sapphire is not established by the collected sources. |
| Custom commands | An established Dyno capability; not established for Sapphire. |
| Know the permission request before installing | Neither publishes install parameters on its Discord application record. |
Permission delta
These requests cannot be compared. Sapphire publishes no install parameters on its Discord application record, so its request is unknown until the authorize screen renders it - which is not the same as it being smaller.

Our reading of the pair
Editorial judgment, not an observation
Close enough that capability alone should not decide it. Dyno for giveaways and custom commands, Sapphire for welcome messages. Since neither publishes its install request, decode the authorize link for whichever you try before accepting it.
