Guild Manager vs CoGM
CoGM is a Discord-first guild management platform. It is a real product with a genuinely generous free tier, and for a single guild it costs less than Guild Manager. This page says so plainly, because a comparison that finds in our favour on every row is not worth reading.
Worth knowing before you compare: CoGM and Throney are the same operator. Throney's logo and banner are served from CoGM's own CDN at cdn.cogm.app. If you are weighing Guild Manager against both, you are weighing it against one company with two brands.

Choose CoGM if
- You run a single guild and monthly cost is the deciding factor.
- You want members to never leave Discord, and a web dashboard is a nice-to-have rather than the point.
- Your guild is large and casual, and you mainly need a roster, events, and attendance.
Choose Guild Manager if
- You run more than one game and want one roster model that understands each game's classes, gear, and roles.
- You want a full web application and a native mobile app, not a Discord bot with a dashboard attached.
- You need recruitment with public guild profiles and a real application workflow.
- You care about a decision history that survives a member leaving the guild.
Common questions
- Which one is cheaper?
- Guild Manager is free for guilds of any size, with unlimited members on one guild, and paid plans start at $19.99 per month. CoGM's Pro plan is $10 per month per guild and Throney is $7.50 per month, so both are cheaper per guild than Guild Manager. If price is your deciding factor, they will win that comparison. Guild Manager is priced for teams that want the full web application, a native mobile app, multi-game rosters, and a durable decision history rather than the lowest monthly cost.
- Are CoGM and Throney the same company?
- They appear to be. Throney's logo and banner images are served from cdn.cogm.app, CoGM's own content delivery domain. CoGM is positioned as the multi-game platform and Throney as the Throne and Liberty specialist, and both have published Aion 2 landing pages.
- Is CoGM's free plan really unlimited members?
- Their pricing page states one free guild with unlimited members, including roster, event scheduling, attendance, and Discord bot integration. DKP, loot auctions, party builder, and alliance federation are on the $10 per month Pro plan. Guild Manager's free plan also has unlimited members, so the two free tiers are now comparable on size.
- When does Guild Manager cost less?
- On a straight per-guild comparison, it does not. CoGM Pro is $10 per guild per month, so one guild is $10 and four guilds is $40, while the equivalent Guild Manager plans are $19.99 and $49.99. Guild Manager is the more expensive option, and it is priced for the depth of the web application, the mobile app, multi-game rosters, and retained history rather than on cost.
