There are a lot of free MEE6 alternatives out there like Arcane, Atlas, and AmariBot. But people in your server will lose all the XP and levels they have earned. That’s where the Pepe Manager comes in. It’s a free Discord leveling bot that can import your MEE6 XP and levels and continue your leveling system from there.

MEE6 vs Pepe Manager
Before making the switch, let’s compare and understand why Pepe Manager is better than MEE6 for leveling.
1. Now without the premium plan, you cannot edit the server rank card for a user in MEE6. Pepe Manager provides it for free.
2. You cannot change the XP growth rate in MEE6’s free tier, but you can do it on the Pepe Manager.
3. In Pepe Manager, you can also change the XP rate for each channel and each role which is not even possible on MEE6’s premium plan.
4. Most importantly, you cannot reward a role to users that reached a specific level on MEE6 free tier. On Pepe Manager, you can reward roles to users and it also creates a special role for the user with the highest XP.
On top of it, it is one of the rare Discord bots that can import levels from other Discord bots like MEE6.

How to Configure Pepe Manager for Leveling System
Pepe Manager comes with all the required features you did expect from a leveling bot. To configure all the settings, open the Pepe Manager Dashboard.
1. Under the Leveling section, select the XP Response Channel. The response channel is the channel where the bot informs users about their level upgrades. You can choose to send the response in the same channel or direct message to the user or we can also select a custom channel. You also have the option to set it to None to not receive any update on level upgrades.
2. Under it, you can also customize the XP Message to send for an XP upgrade.
3. By default, Pepe Manager will not count the messages in the threads. However, you can enable the XP In Threads option.
4. Under the XP Role Rewards, enter the level number and select a role for that. Now whenever users get to that specific level, they will get a new role assigned that you have set. By setting a role according to their level, later you create channels that only users with specific roles can access. So only the active users will be available on those specific channels.
5. XP Multiplier is the rate at which the XP increases. Some bots increase XP really fast making users jump levels even faster. In Pepe Manager, you can configure the XP multiplier for free. Select the Global option and set the multiplier to what you need. If you like to continue at the same speed as MEE6, then enter 0.65.
6. Apart from just Global, you can set the different multipliers for each role and channel too. So if users message more on that specific channel, they will see an increase in their XP more or less than other channels accordingly.
7. You can also blacklist channels, so people won’t get any XP messaging on those channels. Or else, you can only whitelist a few channels, so people receive XP by being more active in those channels.
8. Pepe Manager also has a Top XP Role and No XP Roles. It will give the Top XP Role to the one with max XP and top role whereas No XP Roles will be given to all the users without any XP.
9. Along with that, you can set when to reset the levels. So that their levels will be removed or gone after they leave, you ban them, etc.
10. Once done, click on the Save button in the sidebar to save all the changes you have made.
