Nitro Basic vs. Full Nitro — What Are You Paying For?
- Nitro Basic ($2.99/mo): Custom emoji everywhere, 50MB uploads, custom profiles/banners, special badge
- Full Nitro ($9.99/mo): Everything in Basic + 2 server boosts, 500MB uploads, HD video, custom sounds, app themes
- Free Discord: Full messaging, voice, video, screen share — the core features are free
Nitro Basic is mostly cosmetic. If you don't use custom emoji across servers or need larger file uploads, free Discord does everything you need.
What Happens After Canceling
- Custom emoji across servers: reverts to server-specific only
- Custom profile/banner: reverts to default
- Animated avatar: becomes static
- File upload limit: drops back to 25MB
- Nitro badge: removed from profile
- Nothing is deleted — your messages, servers, friends all stay
