Fair is fair
No tool is best at everything. These are real strengths of the other bots — decide whether they matter to your playstyle.
The active vinaghost fork on GitHub costs nothing and its C# source is public — technically-inclined players can read the code, build it themselves, or fork it. Closed SaaS like Vangrd cannot match that.
Travify lets you pre-configure a build plan for a village that has not been settled yet, so construction begins the moment the settlers plant. It also supports importing and exporting build orders as JSON or saving them to Travify cloud. Vangrd build plans only apply after a village exists.
One €12.99/mo tier with every feature. Simpler pricing than per-agent models. If you only need one account and do not care about cloud runtime, it is less mental overhead than calculating per-agent costs.
A genuine free tier (1 account, sequential) and a $4.99 three-day pass make TBot2 the lowest-risk way to try a paid bot. Crypto checkout is first-class for privacy-focused users.
Up to 30 concurrent sessions on a single Monthly license. For players running many accounts off one machine, this is cheaper per account than most seat-based models — including Vangrd at certain scales.
Dedicated tool for finding high-value animal oases to raid. A niche convenience Vangrd does not currently ship as a named feature.
TravianBotSharp, TBot2, and TCommander all run entirely on your machine. Your Travian credentials never touch a third-party server. If full local control matters to you more than cloud runtime, a desktop bot is the right choice.
Where Vangrd wins
Vangrd is the only option here that runs 24/7 on a managed server. Travify needs your browser open; the three desktop bots need your PC on. Vangrd keeps playing while you sleep, travel, or lose power.
Every agent includes its own IP and browser fingerprint, provisioned for you. Travify runs on your home IP by default; its Browser Profile feature lets you pair it with a separate proxy extension, but sourcing and paying for the proxy is on you. Desktop bots also require you to bring your own proxies.
Vangrd computes a global yield-optimal troop allocation across all farm lists. No competitor in this comparison ships a cross-list solver — every other bot treats lists as independent.
Save a build plan once, apply it to any tribe. Palisade translates to Earth Wall automatically, prerequisites reorder themselves, slot conflicts resolve. Travify ships multi-tribe build orders with pre-settle configuration; other bots only save/load local templates per tribe.
Incoming attacks are classified (raid / clearing / siege / chief) and responded to differently per village. TCommander has evasion and alerts; no other bot in this comparison differentiates by threat type.
Send At / Lands At timing computed server-side with millisecond precision and per-wave hero / cata targets. TravianBotSharp legacy fork offers second-precision waves; nothing else matches the precision.
Profile scans over time with deltas for population, troops, hero XP, village count. Map search for nearby inactive farms feeds directly into farm lists. Other bots have map lookup; none retain a time series.
The /demo route loads a realistic mock account you can click through before paying a cent. No card, no email.
