What Discord's own pages show
Suits
- Gaming groups and friends who want always-open voice chats
- Online communities that need a free place to gather
- Groups that stream games or screens to each other
- Developers building bots and apps on a chat API
Limits worth knowing
- The paid plans are personal Nitro subscriptions; the site lists no per-seat business plan or admin tier for companies.
- Uploads are capped at 50 MB on Nitro Basic and 1 GB on Nitro, and HD streaming needs Nitro.
- Discord says Nitro prices vary by country and plan, so the US prices listed here may not match what the app shows elsewhere.
