Discord's own Server Subscriptions lands sixth: nothing is simpler for members, but the rules and fees narrow who should use it. Admins create tiers with their own prices and perks, and members press Server Subscription at the top of the channel list to buy one in an in-app page. Discord's creator FAQ states a 90 / 10 split, and the Monetization Terms add a 6% payment processing fee on desktop and browser purchases. On iOS, Apple's fee is passed on as a higher price for the buyer. To sell, you must be 18 or older, have a verified email and phone, two-factor authentication and an account in good standing, and be able to give Stripe US banking details and ID; Discord says the feature will not be offered outside the United States. Payouts are made within 45 days after each month ends, with a $100 minimum for the first payout and $25 after that.
Who it is for
US-based server owners who want members to subscribe without leaving Discord.
Price
No monthly fee; Discord keeps a 10% platform fee, with payment processing fees on top.
Discord has a 90 / 10 split, meaning you will receive 90% of the money from each membership and Discord will keep 10%.
