How much does Discord Nitro cost?

Discord lists Nitro Basic at 2.99 USD a month and full Nitro at 9.99 USD. What you actually pay depends on your country and payment method, since Discord offers local pricing in a number of markets. The exact figure shows under User Settings in the Nitro tab.

How do you get Discord Nitro for free?

You build a balance with GamerHash AI, running AI jobs on your graphics card during the hours the machine is idle anyway. Nitro itself is not in the English catalog yet, so here that balance goes on Steam gift cards from 5 EUR or any of the 400+ games and gift cards in the store — and it keeps until you want it.

What's the difference between Nitro and Nitro Basic?

Nitro Basic covers custom emoji and stickers anywhere, 50 MB uploads, Super Reactions, custom video backgrounds and custom app icons. Full Nitro adds 500 MB uploads, HD streaming, two Server Boosts with 30% off extras, animated avatars and banners, per-server profiles, 200 servers, 4,000-character messages and Xbox Game Pass in select regions.

Is Nitro Classic still available?

Not to buy. Discord sells only Nitro Basic and full Nitro now. Anyone with an active Nitro Classic subscription can stay on it, but cancelling closes the door — the plan cannot be started again.

Does Discord Nitro include Xbox Game Pass?

Full Nitro does. It comes with the Starter Edition: a library of 50+ games across PC and console plus 10 hours of cloud gaming each month, at no extra cost, with availability varying by region. Nitro Basic does not include it.

Prepaid balance from an idle GPU · 400+ games and gift cards

Discord Nitro — and a balance your graphics card earns for you

Your PC sits idle for hours every single day. Put those hours to work: the app runs AI jobs on your graphics card and your balance climbs while you sleep. Discord Nitro itself is not in the English catalog yet, so we will not pretend otherwise — what is stocked is prepaid credit that works the same way, starting with Steam gift cards from 5 EUR. Below, what Nitro Basic and full Nitro each get you, so you know what you are aiming at.

A 5 EUR Steam card: about two days on an RTX 5090
Balance never expires — it waits for the catalog to grow
Out of your own pocket: nothing

Start earning balance See how long it takes

Three steps. That is the whole thing.

No catch, no subscription on our side, no small print. You rent out your graphics card for AI compute and get paid for it — during the hours you were not using the machine anyway.

Switch it on, forget it

Install the app, hit EARN, get on with your day. Setup takes about a minute.

The card works, the balance grows

Not gaming? Your GPU runs AI jobs. Gaming? It steps aside instantly. You get paid by the hour.

Spend it when you want

Pick a prepaid code or any of the 400+ titles in the store. Your balance has no expiry date.

How many days does your card need?

An RTX 5090 covers a 5 EUR Steam card in two days and an RTX 4090 in three; an RTX 4080 takes three and an older RTX 3090 about six. The 10 EUR card takes four days on a 5090. Pick your exact model in the calculator and see the real number.

Balances are held in GUSD — an internal unit equal to 1 USD. How fast it adds up depends on your card, the hours it runs and current network demand.

What the balance buys right now

Discord Nitro has not reached the English catalog yet. What has: prepaid credit that covers the same ground, starting with Steam gift cards at 5 and 10 EUR, alongside 400+ games and gift cards. Your balance carries no expiry date, so it can simply wait if you would rather hold out.

Codes arrive right after you order and go straight into the checkout field they belong to. One thing worth knowing before you plan around it: Nitro is a subscription, so credit buys a billing period rather than a permanent unlock — whatever you spend it on, it covers a stretch of time and then the next bill comes around. The difference is who earned the money.
