Discord, a platform for discussing games and other issues with people on various servers, introduced a new Nitro subscription tier that grants cheaper access to certain features. The platform announced a less expensive version of its Nitro subscription called “Nitro Basic.” According to the service, you can have more fun on Discord for a lesser cost with the new Nitro Basic tier.
Discord Nitro Basic: Should I Get the Cheap Tier?
This new tier, Nitro Basic, has a few useful features, like the ability to use animated emojis anywhere and larger file uploads. Even though there are only four features at first, they might be enough to entice some users away from not purchasing Nitro at its usual price. Discord Nitro Basic per year starting price of $2.99 per month.
- Animated and custom emoji anywhere: Unlock all of your emoji from any server, and use them anywhere.
- Custom stickers anywhere: Similar to emoji, unlock and use all custom stickers from servers you’ve joined. Plus, access 300 Nitro exclusive stickers.
- Bigger file uploads: Upload photos, videos, and any other files up to 20MB.
- Custom video backgrounds: Use any image you want for your video call background to give your space some privacy with personality.
- Special Nitro profile badge: Get a profile badge only available to Nitro subscribers.
The standard Nitro subscription has superior video quality, an even higher upload cap, and the option to utilize a gif avatar and select your own Discord tag. And if you don’t know, Discord Nitro’s cost is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
The availability of Nitro Basic is restricted by location and platform, although this is expected to change in the future. “Access to the Nitro Basic plan is currently limited to a random selection of participants in the United Kingdom,” Discord said on the website.
The cheaper subscription is currently available for PC users and will be available for iOS users in the coming weeks.
