Who wins where.
Heimdall wins
Game-server integrations
Full Minecraft integration (account linking, whitelist automation and role sync) and Tebex store integration. MEE6 has neither.
A deeper dashboard
A real-time dashboard with 24 pages covering every part of your server, not just a settings panel.
A free plan that's actually generous
Every core plugin is free for any server size, with no member cap and no ads. When you want more, Premium is a flat £5.99 a month whatever your size.
MEE6 wins
Levels and XP
MEE6's XP and levels system is its flagship, and it's been refined for years. Heimdall has levels, XP and role rewards too, as part of its opt-in games and economy, but MEE6's is the more mature system.
A bigger, older community
MEE6 has been around since 2016 and is on millions of servers, so there's a bigger community, more tutorials and wider name recognition.
More third-party help
Thanks to its longer history, there are more YouTube tutorials, guides and community-made resources for MEE6.
Heimdall or MEE6?
It depends what you need. Heimdall is the better pick for game-server communities, servers that need deep integrations and anyone who wants every core plugin free, with no ads and no member cap. MEE6 is better if levels and XP are the centre of your server. Heimdall has them too, but MEE6's system is more mature.
Yes. Plenty of servers run both. A common setup is MEE6 for levels while Heimdall handles moderation, tickets and Minecraft. They don't clash.
Heimdall's free plan includes every core plugin with no ads and no member cap, for any server size. MEE6's free plan is limited and shows ads on bot messages. Heimdall Premium is a flat £5.99 a month whatever your size.
