We are thrilled to announce a significant change to our Platform Fees for Premium Apps, as part of our ongoing dedication to supporting our developer community. We are introducing a new Growth Tier for Premium Apps reducing the Platform Fees from 30% to 15% for the first $1 million USD in cumulative gross sales per developer team, beginning June 6, 2024.
What's Changing?
Developer teams using Discord’s Premium Apps features are immediately eligible to receive a 50% discount on Discord’s Platform Fee (30% → 15%) for the first $1 million USD in cumulative gross sales generated by their apps on Discord, effective June 6, 2024. Once your developer team's cumulative gross sales reach $1 million USD, the Platform Fee will move back to the standard rate of 30%. Please review our Monetization Terms for these changes.
Why the Change?
We understand that financial success is a key driver behind the innovative apps that our Developers create. We hope that by reducing the Platform Fee and increasing offerings we are making it easier for your developer team to achieve financial success on Discord, especially for those in the early stages of their app’s development.
What To Expect
- All existing Developer Teams will be automatically transitioned to the new Growth Tier for their next $1 million USD in gross sales across all apps owned by the team.
- All new developer teams created after June 6, 2024 will automatically begin in the new Growth Tier.
- Once a developer team generates $1 million USD in gross sales from any of their apps, the Platform Fee will move to the standard rate of 30%.
- Discord will evaluate the impact of app transfers between developer teams on eligibility for the Growth Tier on a case-by-case basis.
We believe this change will positively impact the Developer Community on Discord and are looking forward to seeing the innovative apps and features that will be created with this extra support!
