What is the name of Discord's premium subscription service?

Discord’s premium subscription service is called Discord Nitro. Nitro adds paid features to the otherwise free Discord platform, including larger file uploads, higher-quality streaming, custom emoji use across servers, profile customization, and server boosts.

Discord introduced its first paid subscription in January 2017 under the name Discord Nitro Classic, which was originally called Discord Nitro. In October 2018, Discord introduced a higher-priced Nitro tier and used the “Classic” name for the earlier plan. Nitro Classic was later replaced by the lower-cost Nitro Basic in 2022.

Today, “Discord Nitro” generally refers to the main premium plan, while Nitro Basic is a separate entry-level subscription with a smaller feature set. That distinction can cause confusion, but alternatives such as “Discord Premium,” “Discord Pro,” and “Discord Plus” are not the official names of Discord’s principal subscription service.

Nitro is also different from Server Boosts. Subscribers receive certain boosts as part of their benefits, but boosting a server is a separate feature and purchase category.
