Discord, launched in 2015, is the go-to chat app for gamers and online communities. Discord Nitro is its premium subscription that unlocks perks like custom emojis, HD streaming, and bigger file uploads. Maybe you bought it to boost your favorite Helldivers 2 server but now you're taking a break from the game. It happens. With plans ranging from $2.99 to $99.99, canceling is a smart way to cut costs. This guide covers canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android, potentially saving you up to $100 a year. Let's get that subscription cancelled.
How to Cancel Discord Nitro Subscription on Desktop (Web or App)
This is the most direct way to cancel, especially if you signed up on your computer. I tried canceling through my phone at first, but since I originally subscribed on my PC, it forced me to go back to the desktop app. A little annoying, but that's how their system works.
1 Go to User Settings
First, open your Discord app on your computer or log in through a web browser. Find the little gear icon next to your username at the bottom left. That's your User Settings.
2 Find the Subscriptions Tab
In the menu on the left, look under 'Billing Settings' and click on Subscriptions. This is where your active Nitro plan lives.
3 Click the Cancel Button
You'll see your Discord Nitro subscription listed. Next to it, there should be a Cancel button. Weirdly, I had to refresh the page once for it to show up properly, so give that a try if you don't see it.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
Discord will ask you to confirm. They really want you to stay. Just scroll to the bottom and hit Continue or Confirm Cancellation until it tells you it's done. You'll keep your perks until the end of your current billing period.
How to Cancel Discord Nitro Subscription on iOS (iPhone/iPad)
If you paid for Nitro through the Apple App Store, you must cancel it through Apple. Discord's app can't cancel it for you, which confuses a lot of people. It's an Apple rule, not a Discord one.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
On your iPhone or iPad, open the main Settings app (the gray gear icon).
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID right at the top of the screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Find and tap on the Subscriptions menu item. You'll see a list of all your active App Store subscriptions here.
4 Find Discord and Cancel
Scroll until you find Discord. Tap on it, and then hit the Cancel Subscription button. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel Discord Nitro Subscription on Android
Just like with Apple, if you subscribed using Google Play, you have to cancel it there. You can't cancel a Google Play subscription from the Discord desktop app.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
From the menu that pops up, select Payments & subscriptions, and then tap on Subscriptions.
4 Locate Discord and Cancel
Look for Discord in your list of subscriptions. Tap it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow the final prompts to confirm. Simple enough.
Before you cancel, know this. Your Discord account itself won't be deleted, you just lose the premium perks. As for refunds, Discord is pretty strict. You generally won't get your money back for a partially used month. You can try contacting support within 5 days of a new charge, but don't hold your breath. The good news? You can pause your subscription for 30 days instead of canceling outright, which is a nice option if you just need a short break.
