How to Cancel Discord Nitro Free Trial Subscription?

Discord Nitro is the paid upgrade that adds custom emoji, higher upload limits, HD streaming, profile customization, and more. Discord often offers a free trial of Nitro or Nitro Basic to new or eligible users.

After the free trial ends, the plan usually converts to a paid subscription that renews automatically. Charges typically appear on your card or through Apple or Google.

Deleting the Discord app does not cancel the free trial or subscription. You must cancel through User Settings on the same type of device where you started the trial.

This guide shows you exactly how to stop the auto-renewal and avoid a recurring charge.

What Is Discord Nitro and How Billing Works

Discord Nitro gives extra features on top of the free Discord app. Nitro Basic offers a lighter set of perks at a lower price. Full Nitro includes larger file uploads, custom profiles, boosted streaming quality, and two free Server Boosts.

A free trial is commonly available for eligible users, often lasting around 30 days (some promotions are shorter). Once the trial ends, Discord charges the payment method on file and the subscription renews until you cancel.

Pricing is typically around $9.99 per month for full Nitro or less for Nitro Basic, with yearly options that cost less per month. Prices can vary by region and plan.

Anyone with access to the Discord account can cancel. The charge may show as Discord, Apple, or Google Play.

Important: You must cancel on the same device type where the purchase or trial started. Desktop or browser trials cancel on desktop or browser. Mobile trials cancel on mobile.

How to Cancel Discord Nitro Free Trial on Desktop or Browser

This is the main method if you started the trial on a computer or in a web browser.

1. Open Discord on your computer or in a browser and sign in.
2. Click the cogwheel (settings) icon next to your username at the bottom left.
3. In User Settings, select the Subscriptions tab on the left.
4. Find the Nitro or Nitro Basic banner and click Cancel.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm the cancellation.

After you finish, the Subscriptions page shows the date your benefits will end. You keep Nitro features until that date and will not be charged if you canceled before the trial converted to paid.

How to Cancel Discord Nitro Free Trial on Mobile

Use these steps if you started the trial inside the Discord mobile app.

1. Open the Discord app and tap your avatar in the bottom right.
2. Tap the cogwheel icon in the top right to open User Settings.
3. Scroll to Billing Settings and tap Manage Nitro.
4. Tap Cancel next to your Nitro or Nitro Basic plan.
5. Follow the prompts until the cancellation is confirmed.

If the subscription was billed through the App Store or Google Play, the app may redirect you to the store so you can finish canceling there. Once done, Manage Nitro shows the expiration date.

Canceling If Billed Through Apple or Google

Some mobile trials and subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google instead of Discord directly.

On iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name at the top.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Find Discord or Nitro and tap it.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

On Android

1. Open the Google Play Store app.
2. Tap your profile icon.
3. Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
4. Select Discord.
5. Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.

Discord cannot cancel an Apple subscription for you. If you bought through Google Play, canceling inside Discord often redirects you to the Play Store.

What Happens After You Cancel

If you cancel during the free trial, you keep the Nitro benefits until the trial period ends. Discord will not charge you on the renewal date.

If you cancel a paid subscription, benefits continue until the end of the current billing period. After that date the perks stop and your account returns to the free Discord experience.

Any extra Server Boosts you bought separately stay active unless you also cancel them under Subscriptions. You will lose the Nitro discount on future Boosts.

Tips for a Smooth Cancellation

Cancel a day or two before the trial ends. This gives you time if anything goes wrong.

Check the Subscriptions page after canceling to confirm the end date is shown.

Make sure you are signed into the same Discord account and the same device type (desktop vs mobile) that started the trial.

If you also bought Server Boosts during the trial and do not want them to renew, cancel those under the same Subscriptions tab.

Common Problems and Solutions

You do not see a Cancel button. You may be looking at the wrong account or the wrong device type. Try the other platform (desktop if you used mobile, or vice versa). Also check Apple or Google subscriptions.

You were charged after canceling. Confirm the cancellation showed an end date and that you canceled before the trial converted. Check email receipts for the original purchase platform.

You cannot log into the account. Use Discord’s billing support form (dis.gd/billing) with the email tied to the account and request help canceling.

The mobile app redirects but the store does not show Discord. Make sure you are signed into the exact Apple ID or Google account used for the purchase.

Alternatives After Canceling

The free Discord plan still lets you chat, join servers, use voice and video, and share files up to the free limit. Many people find it fully usable without Nitro.

If you mainly wanted custom emoji or higher uploads, some servers offer free boosts or stickers. You can also try other chat platforms if you need different features.
