About Wick
Wick focuses on security only, and many large servers use it. Its premium tier is called Diamond; prices and the free/premium split are on its site. We couldn't confirm its current plan details from that page, so we haven't listed them here rather than guess.
Do you need both?
Two bots with ban and delete permissions is two places a mistake or a compromised bot can hurt you. If Nodariq's protection covers your threats, one bot is simpler. If you run a very large public server that's a constant raid target, a dedicated security bot alongside it can make sense.
Every extra bot is another set of permissions, another dashboard and another bill. If one bot covers what you need, your server is simpler and safer. See one bot, not five.
Which should you pick?
Pick a dedicated security bot if security is your only need and you want its specialist tools.
Pick Nodariq if you want strong free protection plus tickets, verification and moderation from one bot that never needs Administrator.
Questions
Is Nodariq's anti-raid free?
Yes. AutoMod, anti-raid, verification, Tripwire and QR scam detection are free. Anti-nuke and backups are on Pro.
Does Nodariq need Administrator?
No. Nodariq asks only for the permissions its features use.
Can I run Nodariq and Wick together?
Yes, but make sure only one bot handles each job (for example, only one runs anti-raid) so they don't both act on the same member.
