Would love to hear what paid members really think. For comparison, Discord has 10x more features and thousands of apps built and being built by a community of developers. The majority of features being requested for Skool already exist on Discord. Which doesn't necessarily mean that Skool is not better than anything else out there, like Discord, and that's what I'm trying to understand. Moreover, as of February 2023, there are more than 150 million monthly active and 300 million registered Discord users. Discord users exchange around 4 billion messages daily, or 124 billion messages monthly. Discord is valued at $15 billion and has so far secured $995 million in 16 funding rounds. You may know it as a gamers tool, but it's features are being used to connect business focused communities, like: 1. Wallet-Friendly: One of the best things about Discord is that most features are free! With a free membership, your employees will have everything they need. And if you want some extra perks, Discord offers a premium tier called "Nitro" for $99 per year. It comes with HD video, larger servers, custom emojis, and a few other goodies. 2. Piece of Cake to Set Up: Discord is super easy to use. If you've ever used a chat app before, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Plus, it's quick to download and doesn't take up much space on your devices. No need for lengthy training sessions here! 3. Plays Well with Others: While Discord's native integrations are a bit limited, there's still room for creativity. They encourage developers to use their API for new collaborations. Zapier, for example, can help connect Discord with thousands of other apps, boosting its functionality. 4. Crystal Clear Audio: As you'd expect from a gamer-focused app, Discord's got the audio game down. It syncs clear audio between users, so you won't have to deal with annoying lags or delays during team meetings. 5. Handy Bots: Discord's gaming bots can actually be pretty useful for businesses too! They can help bridge the gap between Discord's features and your office needs. Trello, for instance, lets you manage your tasks and goals right from a Discord server. And as Discord gains popularity in work settings, we can expect even more business-oriented bots. 6. Room for Everyone: Discord servers can handle a ton of data, from video and audio chats to screen sharing. You can host live video chats with up to 25 people and still have plenty of room for text and messaging. Some popular servers even have tens of thousands of users! So just think of all the potential for hosting events or collaborating on a large scale.
