FAQ About Discord
Does Discord cost money?
Discord is free to use for most of its features and functionality. Users can create an account, join servers, participate in text-based conversations, voice chat, and video calls without any cost. The majority of Discord's core features are available to users without the need for a subscription or payment.
However, Discord also offers an optional premium subscription called "Discord Nitro" that provides additional features and benefits. Discord Nitro comes in two tiers: Nitro Classic and Nitro. Here's an overview of these subscription options:
- Discord Nitro Classic: Nitro Classic is priced at a monthly or annual subscription fee. With Nitro Classic, users get benefits such as animated avatars, custom emojis across all servers, higher quality screen sharing, and the ability to use custom Discord tags (unique username identifiers with a hashtag).
- Discord Nitro: Nitro, the higher-tier subscription, offers all the features of Nitro Classic along with additional perks. These perks include boosted upload limits for files and attachments, high-quality streaming for screen sharing, and a Nitro badge on their profile.
It's important to note that while Discord Nitro provides these enhanced features, the majority of Discord's core functionality remains available to free users. The decision to subscribe to Discord Nitro is optional and depends on the individual user's preferences and desire for the additional features and benefits it offers.
Additionally, some games and developers may offer their own paid features or perks within Discord, such as exclusive game content, early access, or special roles. These are separate from Discord's own subscription options and are specific to certain games or communities.
In summary, while Discord offers a free-to-use experience with its core features, it also provides the option for users to subscribe to Discord Nitro for enhanced functionality and perks.
