Easy to setup servers with channels and permissions. Call quality is good. > > **Cons**: Too many customization options locked behind the expensive Nitro subscription. 100 server limit without nitro subscription. Rich presence can sometimes get stuck or be heavily delayed (eg. Crunchyroll). ----- ### "Great Community Chat tool" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *20 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free chat/video with high quality admin controls for communities large and small. It just works for keeping connected with folks across the world > > **Cons**: It's a bit complex to get started and some of the admin tooling is tricky to get right. And then there is the spam which is annoying, but Discord tries to help ----- ### "Discord: The Best Casual Communication App" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Discord is very easy to navigate and has a user interface that is intuitive and well-designed. It also has a lot of personalization that makes collaboration both personalized and responsive. The audio is always loud and clear, and it is ideal for informal conversations as well as meetings with teams. I really enjoy the ability to have group servers where you can organize channels by different topics or projects. Aside from that, sharing of files, images, and other documents is a breeze directly in chat, and collaboration is a breeze. In terms of Value of money 90% of Discord is completely free. The payed version Discord Nitro is not too expensive at $10. It provides more personalization, and larger file transfer sizes, but for pure communication is not required at all. > > **Cons**: One drawback is that it is less dependable for private conversations due to the absence of robust security features or end-to-end encryption. Additionally, Discord isn't really made for business or professional use, so it doesn't fit in well at work. Another problem is that anyone can message you and search for your username, which raises security and privacy concerns. > > Discord overall is a great software that I use every single day to connect with friends and do small collaborative projects. I recommend it to anyone with more casual needs and does not require enterprise level software and security. In terms of pure communication and features available, Discord perform far better than MS Teams, Zoom, or Skype. Best of all its completely free for most uses cases, and for those looking for extra features and personalization Discord Nitro is not a bad value for the money. ----- ### "My Go‑To Platform for Course Help at Concordia" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 April 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Discord is how easy it makes it for me to connect with other students at Concordia University. I can access my student union’s server, join the channels for each course, and get help from past students who already completed the class. I really like that everything—materials, discussions, tutoring, and group chats—is all in one place, so I never feel lost or disconnected. It makes studying and interacting with my peers a lot easier and more organized. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Discord is that sometimes the notifications can get overwhelming, especially when multiple course channels are active at the same time. If I’m not checking often, important messages can get buried under all the other conversations. Also, when a server has a lot of channels, it can feel a bit confusing to navigate at first until I get used to where everything is. > > My overall experience with Discord has been very positive. I use it at Concordia University to access my student union’s server, join the channels for each of my courses, and stay connected with other students. I really like that past students who already completed the course are active in the channels and help us with materials, explanations, and tutoring. Everything—discussions, files, group chats, and support—is organized in one place, so it makes studying and interacting with my peers much easier. Overall, Discord has been a reliable and convenient platform for communication and academic support. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1022442/discord?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1022442/discord) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
