PinPalDiscord sticky message bots, compared honestly
Discord doesn't have sticky messages built in, so bots fill the gap. Here's how the popular ones stack up on what matters: free limits, embeds, buttons, setup and price.
Checked against each bot's public listings and docs in September 2026. Details can change, so check their pages before deciding.

What makes PinPal different
The free plan is actually useful. Ten pins per server, embeds, up to 20 link buttons, presets, share codes and threads, with no header stamped on your message. Most servers never need to pay.
You don't learn commands. /setup opens one panel with everything on it: message, channels, timing, buttons and appearance. Watch the two-minute walkthrough to see it.
Premium adds, it doesn't gatekeep. Paying unlocks new things: rotating messages, live variables, a custom name and avatar per pin, message-count reposting, expiry and 250 pins.
It's careful with your channels. PinPal waits for chat to settle before reposting, always deletes its old copy, and never pings anyone.
Where others are a better fit
We'd rather you pick the right tool. StickyBot offers a 14-day Premium trial and sticky polls, which PinPal doesn't have. Glue Stick is about as simple as it gets if you only ever need one plain message per channel.

FAQ
What's the best free sticky message bot for Discord?
It depends on what you need. If you want several stickies with embeds and buttons for free, PinPal gives every server 10 with no header. Glue Stick is a simple free option for one plain message per channel. StickyBot's premium tier is well established, but its free plan is more limited.
Can I switch from StickyBot or Glue Stick to PinPal?
Yes. Add PinPal, right-click your existing sticky message and choose Apps → Create Pin. PinPal copies it into a new pin. Save it, then remove the old sticky from the other bot so you don't get two.
Is it against Discord's rules to repost messages?
Sticky bots are common and allowed when they respect rate limits. PinPal waits for chat to settle, reposts at most once per delay and deletes its previous copy, so it never floods a channel.
