Discord offers different types of subscription packages, for a number of benefits. Here is what Discord Nitro and Nitro Basic will get you, and how much they cost.
Nitro is a subscription service that allows you to unlock features and benefits across Discord. When subscribing to Nitro, you gain access to features that were previously locked to you, such as: using custom emojis anywhere, uploading larger files, setting a custom video background, HD streaming, and much more. But there are differences depending on the subscription you get. Nitro, for example, offers more features than Nitro basic.
Let's take a look at everything you get with Nitro and also the differences between Nitro and its basic version, as well as their prices.
Discord Nitro & Nitro Basic – What You Get
Be it here at EarlyGame or also me personally, almost everyone uses Discord. Be it for gaming or just to meet up with friends. And Discords Nitro features, such as custom emoji, video backgrounds or entrance sounds, are just super fun to play around with. To give you an overview of all the features and the difference between the two models, we have prepared this table so you can find out which one suits you better.

As you can see, Discord Nitro offers a lot more functions than Nitro Basic, but that doesn't mean that the Basic model isn't worth it. Keep in mind that you only want to pay for the things that you will actually use.
For example, if you only care about the Super Reactions or Animated Emoji's, then Nitro Basic is more than enough for you.
But if you're using Discord in your job, need to be on a lot of servers, or primarily use it for streaming, then Discord Nitro will be the better fit, and your money will be well spent.
Speaking of money, how much do these subscriptions cost anyway?
Discord Nitro & Nitro Basic – Price
Nitro Basic costs only $2.99/month, while the complete version, Nitro, costs $9.99/month. The price difference here is quite big, so consider carefully which version suits you best.
You might want to take another look at the table from the beginning and see which of the features you would actually use or even need.
Sometimes, Discord even offers the possibility to get a two-week free trial for Nitro, where you can try out all the features for a limited time.
