To be honest, paid and free provider comparison for allowing Discord bots is only one part of the story. Actually hosting Discord bot not only requires the provider to install the modules, but there's something else also which is a huge factor when it comes to servers - load. Hosting Discord bots creates a lot of load on the server, of course it depends on how frequently it's used, but it stays online unless your shut it down, so that script tends to create a lot of load while it's online. That's a point mentioned very clearly in the HelioWiki tutorial I linked to above. I can testify that myself - previously my account load never used to go above 10, but now the RAM and CPU usage near 50, sometimes even 60. So you could get an idea of the amount of load it creates. Coming back to providers, not everyone wants to take a risk with their servers, bcuz an outage can be easy to handle for a free provider like HelioHost, but it's quite difficult to convince clients who are actually paying for an uptime.
