Discord is prepared to allow more producers to offer subscriptions after a year of testing. For all US-based qualifying server owners, the community platform has enabled Server Subscriptions. Your favourite social media influencer or streamer can now provide exclusive material and features at various price tiers that they determine. You might receive extra films, early access to merchandise, or voting privileges in significant polls, for example.

Discord emphasises that 90 percent of subscription fees go to authors. They can also advertise their paid solutions using a recently introduced promotional webpage function. Any server owner who is based in the US, agrees to the policies, and has no “recent” violations is eligible. The extensive testing time demonstrates Discord’s hesitation to provide Server Subscriptions. The tool is intended to enable sustainable companies on the platform, as company marketing manager Jesse Wofford said to Engadget last year. In theory, a creator can create considerable profit (even if it’s just supplemental) from their Discord community.

Depending on the services a creator is already utilising to charge for Discord access, it may or may not be a fair value. Prior to payment processing, Patreon requests as little as 5 percent of a creator’s monthly income; however, membership tiers and several other benefits can’t be obtained until a creative forks over 8 or 12 percent. Furthermore, despite Discord’s move to potentially make subscriptions simpler, server operators still need to divide their attention between two platforms.
