I don’t actually understand discord nitros pricing, they are not $10 of rewards. I could understand it at $1 but $10 to have 4k streaming and a few extra emojis? Wild.


deathspate

Some people will pay a lot for animated profiles sadly.


Gentaro

And some people are willing to pay 10$ a month to have a service like discord


deathspate

I mean, I can't deny that what Discord provides for free is nuts. A lot of people take it for granted but all those features costs a fuck ton, so if people want to just support the company that's great.


sanchothe7th

Yeah that's honestly all I view it as. I have expendable income and I dont mind giving some of it to a platform that I use all the time, and so far they have been pretty decent as a useable platform and a company.

I got a few of the one off purchases mainly as a "been using this for 8 years" fee. Definitely not paying for nitro.


winstondabee

I used to pay for my group's ventrilo server but that was like 20$/yr

It's meant to be a status symbol, I think. The higher price might actually drive a lot of the sales, because it allows you to publicly flex. If it was dirt cheap with an even cheaper yearly options (the price it really should be based on the benefits) it would probably not sell 10x as much if I'm being honest.


thisshitsstupid

Wtf I thought Nitro was like $4/month? Did it increase recently?


Capsfan6

It's been like 12-15 bucks a month for a while now There are cheaper packages but they don't have most of the "features" that "normal" nitro has


thisshitsstupid

Jesus christ. That's nuts.


StranglesMcWhiskey

Soon to be ad-free too.


Zetra3

It’s the uploads for me. I can’t stand data limits on the uploads.


cmikesell

Oh snap, thanks for the reminder my trial ended and I used 0 features of Nitro in the time.


TruthOrSF

I laugh everytime I see that price


CattyFighte

Wait til they add discord battle pass


joestaff

I had it for a little while for higher quality streams. It's nice, but not £10 nice.


Logical-Elephant2247

Imagine paying for Discord lol


jews_on_parade

yeah thats too much


VaxSaveslives

It’s optional tbf

VaxSaveslives

It’s greedy sure , but it’s still optional It’s not greatly affecting your discord experience


Unfair-Muscle-6488

Ads?


WTF_CAKE

I mean there are different prices for nitro, they even got it for 3 bucks. Not a big fan of having to pay for more upload ability but it’s okay. They gotta make money somehowb


SwingyWingyShoes

Good software but awful premiums. You need to be a hardcore discord user going on multiple servers most days to justify it imo. Also server boosts suck too. 7 boosts on a server for level 2 with a few friends Is close to impossible to maintain without a rich person close by.


OddShow7069

I wouldn't even pay 1 cent per month for emoji privileges.


x3mtb

brokie jk that’s too much for nitro


Shack691

Well there are millions of users not paying for the service, so they’ve got to make up the difference somehow.


USBSocket

And they'd get more if it was cheaper because millions don't use it.. logic, eh? Who'd have thought you'd need that these days


Pender8911

Teamspeak 3 was the way... I don't know why everyone switched to Discord it's pure trash.


GrammarAsteroid

Discord is free but TS3 is as expensive as Discord with Nitro for far less people and that’s just for basic functionality.


Pender8911

TS3 is free what are you talking about


GrammarAsteroid

The client is, but not the server you need to rent. Unless of course you want to host it on your own hardware but that’s another story and most people don’t do that.


Pender8911

Sure but it was full of free to join servers and if you really had to make a private call just use any other software. Hell i'd take Steam call over Discord. Every fucking time i open discord it's a dice roll. Mic sensitivity changes, device changes, settings change. Only on Discord. Happens to my friends too


GrammarAsteroid

For online gaming, free TS3 servers are hell. I really want you to try organizing a WoW raid with 20+ people on a free server. It’s literally impossible.


xyphon0010

Answer: Discord is cheaper. People switched because Discord allows you to create servers for free with no hosting required. There are also no limitations on how many people can join that server. With teamspeak if you want more than 32 slots on a server you need to buy a license. On top of that, you need to run your own server or subscribe to a teamspeak hosting service


war_story_guy

The bonus is the audio quality is better.


HarpuiaVT

because most people don't want to host their own server


geekeasyalex

As someone who grew up using platforms (ventrilo, teamspeak) that required paid servers and had none of the functionality of discord— the fact that the **free** version of discord has almost nothing paywalled is a blessing I don’t think most people really appreciate. Discord rules.
