The welcome message is the first thing every new member sees, and it's where most servers lose people. A good welcome bot posts something warm, points at the rules, and hands out a starter role. Here's what to use in 2026.
1. Noxyr — welcome and leave messages with full embeds
Custom messages, embeds, images, buttons and placeholders, per-guild channels, plus a matching leave-message system — all configured visually from the dashboard, free. Pair it with the built-in verification module and the join flow is done.
2. Welcomer
The image-card specialist. Its generated welcome images are the prettiest around; deeper customisation sits behind premium.
3. MEE6
Welcome messages work fine on the free tier. You'll be upsold on everything around them.
4. Carl-bot
Solid text and embed welcomes as part of its automation suite. No generated images.
What a good welcome message needs
- A mention (
{user}) so the member gets pinged once. - One clear next step — usually the rules channel.
- A reason to speak (question of the day, intro channel).
- No wall of text. Two lines beat ten.
