Xenon's published Premium page, checked November 3, 2026, saves 50, 100, or 250 messages per channel depending on the paid plan, and the free plan does not include messages. VaultCord's Premium and Plus plans save up to 350 messages per channel, and the free plan saves the server structure without messages. VaultCord can also add members back only after they have verified.
This is not a claim about a number Xenon has not published. The figures below are the ones on Xenon's Premium page that day, and on VaultCord's upgrade screen.
Xenon figures from xenon.bot/premium on November 3, 2026. VaultCord figures from the upgrade screen the same day. Confirm both before you pay.
What Xenon publishes
Xenon says a free backup saves channels but not what was said in them. Paid plans save 50, 100, or 250 messages per channel. Stored backups run from 15 on Free to 250 on Premium 3. Premium starts at $5.99 a month. Premium also lists members, bans, and threads as included. This page does not guess how that member data is restored. Read Xenon's page for that.
A free backup saves your channels but not what's in them. Premium saves 50 to 250 messages per channel, depending on the plan, and posts them back when you load the backup.
What VaultCord does instead
A VaultCord backup saves the server's channels, roles, permissions, and settings. On Premium and Plus it also saves up to 350 messages per channel. Free does not include those messages.
Members are a separate step. Someone has to open your verify link before VaultCord can add them to a server later. If nobody has verified, the restore of the rooms can still run, and the member add stops because the list is empty. Post the verify link before you need it.
You can require a captcha on that page, and a minimum Discord account age. The age check turns off at 0 days and can be set up to 3,650 days.

VaultCord Free is a 2-server plan. Premium is $4.97 a month, with a 1 hour wait between member adds, 5 servers, and the same 350 messages per channel. Plus is $9.97 a month, removes the wait, and lists unlimited servers.
Xenon's Premium page says the paid plan is tied to the Discord account and works on every server that person administrates. The same page quotes a separate product, Vault, from $25 a month when a channel needs more than 250 messages. VaultCord's published backup stops at 350.
How it works
- 1Members verify
They open your VaultCord link. Captcha and account age apply only if you turned them on.
- 2The server is backed up
Rooms and settings are saved. Messages, up to 350 per channel, are included on Premium and Plus.
- 3Restore, then add members
The saved server comes back. Only people who verified can be added. An empty list adds nobody.
Pros and cons
Pros
- VaultCord Premium and Plus publish a higher per-channel message count than Xenon Premium 3: 350 against 250.
- Plus is $9.97 a month on the upgrade screen, against $15.99 for Xenon Premium 3.
- Free still includes a structure backup and a member list, with a 10 hour wait between adds.
- You can see, before a disaster, that an empty verify list will add nobody.
- Captcha and a minimum account age can be required on the verify page.
Cons
- Xenon publishes up to 250 stored backups. VaultCord does not publish a backup-slot count on the upgrade screen.
- Xenon Free keeps 15 backups. You should confirm what VaultCord keeps by taking one and looking at the list.
- 350 messages is the recent history, not the whole channel.
- Members who never open the verify link cannot be added back.
- Xenon Premium works on every server that person administrates. VaultCord Premium is 5 servers, and Plus is the unlimited plan.
- Above 250 messages, Xenon quotes a separate product called Vault, from $25 a month. VaultCord's published cap is 350.
- Xenon changes prices without telling us. Recheck their page before you buy.
Our verdict
Frequently asked questions
Is 350 messages the whole channel?
No. It is the most recent 350 messages in that channel. Older ones are not in the backup.
What happens if nobody verified?
The rooms can still be restored from the backup. The member add tells you the list is empty and to post the verify link first.
Does Xenon Free save messages?
Not according to Xenon's Premium page on November 3, 2026. Messages start at Premium 1, at 50 per channel.
Which VaultCord plan removes the wait between member adds?
Plus. The upgrade screen lists no pulling cooldown on Plus, 1 hour on Premium, and 10 hours on Free.
Where should I confirm a price?
On the vendor's own page, the day you pay. Both prices in the table were checked November 3, 2026.
