Violet vs MapleMate
Last updated: October 1, 2026
Violet and MapleMate are both MapleStory bots, but they work in different ways. MapleMate is a screen-reading bot; Violet runs inside the game client. That one difference decides what each can see, what hardware it needs and how it deals with lie detectors.
We make Violet. Everything we say about MapleMate comes from its own site or listings, linked at the bottom.

02How they work
MapleMate. MapleMate uses AI to read the game from the screen and plays with simulated input. Its listing offers a Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Pico or capture-card setup for extra safety on official servers, so the inputs or the screen capture come from separate hardware.
Violet. Violet runs inside the client and reads the game’s own state: the map, every monster, your buffs, cooldowns and inventory. It bypasses the anti-cheat instead of hiding from it, so there’s no second PC, Pico or capture card to set up. It doesn’t need the window in focus, and one PC can run several clients from a single browser panel.
03Lie detectors
MapleMate advertises a lie detector solver that recognises the test on screen, answers it and resumes your script. Like any screen-reading bot, it has to recognise the test from an image, so a misread is a failed test.
Violet reads the lie detector from inside the client and answers it. There’s no image to misread, and it solves every one.
04Beyond farming
Violet automates the gear grind too: Auto Starforce, Auto Cube, Auto Flame and Inner Ability, each with a target and a budget. The Scheduler plans a whole day, from farming to dailies at reset, with rules that log you out and message you on Discord when a GM appears. Anything not built in can be scripted in Lua. See the full feature list.
05Which should you pick?
Pick MapleMate if you play on private servers or classic versions such as Artale or MapleLand. MapleMate lists support for those; Violet is built for GMS.
Pick Violet if you play GMS and want a bot that sees the whole game, solves every lie detector, needs no extra hardware and leaves your PC free. See plans and pricing or ask us in Discord.
