Discord makes most of its money from Nitro subscriptions and Server Boosts rather than traditional ads. Nitro Basic costs about three dollars a month and the full Nitro tier costs about ten dollars a month while Server Boosts let users pay to unlock extra features for entire communities and estimates put their 2025 revenue near nine hundred fifty million dollars with boosts and Nitro accounting for the large majority. They also earn from brand contracts through Quests where companies pay for rewarded promotions that users can choose to complete for in-app rewards like Orbs without filling the app with forced ads.
