Editor’s Note: As of May 11th, 2026, standard Nitro has some new features and perks, including Nitro Rewards! We’ve updated the Nitro Basic vs Nitro section of this article.
We first launched Discord Nitro over five years ago to give our users more ways to have fun and express themselves on Discord. Since then, we’ve been working hard to grow and improve Nitro by adding new perks like HD streaming, stickers, per-server profiles, and tons more.
As more people across the world join Discord, the way people use the platform to spend time with their friends and communities has evolved. We want to expand our Nitro offerings to better serve the needs of our growing user base.
That’s why we’re excited to share our pint-sized addition to the Nitro family: Nitro Basic. Our newest plan includes some of Nitro’s most-loved features, at a fraction of the cost.
Nitro Basic and Nitro: What’s the Difference?
Our most-popular Nitro plan unlocks access to all the available Nitro perks, including custom emoji and stickers anywhere, HD video streaming, and Nitro Rewards, including gaming hardware discounts and Xbox Game Pass benefits.
Nitro Basic includes a selection of some of the most-loved Nitro features that help you better express yourself on Discord, including custom emoji anywhere, bigger file uploads, and more.
If you’d like to see every single feature that comes with both types of Nitro and get a feel of which membership you’d be interested in, hop over to the Nitro page on our website.
In the United States, Nitro Basic is available for $2.99 per month. For those living outside the United States, pricing is viewable within your User Settings > Nitro page.

Nitro: Now More Accessible Than Ever Before
With the launch of Nitro Basic, the Nitro Classic plan will no longer be available for new members. But don't fret: if you already have Nitro Classic, you can keep your existing plan as long as your membership is active.
We love to see all the crazy and creative ways you and your communities use the perks that come with Nitro — share your Nitro-fueled memories with us by finding us on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.
