Discord monetizes Nitro subscriptions and Quests advertising campaigns, among other offerings. It also supports paid products and creator monetization.
Nitro
Discord members
The subscription adds customization and usage benefits to the free service.
Official source ↗Quests
Brands and game publishers
Advertisers fund advertising experiences that invite users to discover a product or content.
Official source ↗Creator monetization
Members of eligible communities
Creators can sell server subscriptions. The full amount a member pays is not all Discord revenue.
Official source ↗What these figures do not tell you
A free user does not automatically produce subscription revenue. Member counts, community spending and net platform revenue measure different things. Monetization conditions vary by offering and eligibility.
What you can learn from it
A community does not become a business just because it is large. Identify a benefit members use often and will pay for: access, organization or a specialist tool. Test it with a small group before building a platform.
