LikeBot vs DiscussBot

These two fill different gaps under a channel post: for quick one-tap feedback LikeBot (@like) is the pick, for real conversation it is DiscussBot (@discussbot). LikeBot is Telegram's official bot with 616 thousand monthly users; you choose your own set of emoji buttons, publish through the bot inline and watch live counters, even where native reactions are off. Every post goes out by hand, though, with no scheduling. DiscussBot adds a comment button and threaded replies to each post, notifies admins so they can moderate and needs no discussion group set up manually; about 37 thousand people use it. If you want readers to answer in words, not just tap an emoji, choose DiscussBot.
