Discord Server Boost 2026 — Tiers, Perks, and Pricing
Server Boost is the way Discord members invest in a server and unlock features for everyone: extra emoji slots, HD streaming, a custom URL, and 384 kbps audio. In 2026 the system is still split into three tiers, but pricing and certain limits have shifted. Here are the current numbers.
How much one Server Boost costs
A single boost runs $4.99/month at full price. Nitro Full subscribers get 2 free boosts every month plus a 30% discount on extras ($3.49 instead of $4.99). The annual price for one boost slot is $49.99.
That means a Nitro Full subscription already covers half of any Tier 1 server, which is why many communities aggregate boosts from individual Nitro subscribers rather than paying for slots directly.
Three boost tiers and what they unlock
Tier 1 — 2 boosts
Unlocked at 2 active boosts. The server gains:
- 7 extra custom emoji slots (57 total);
- 128 kbps voice channel audio;
- HD streaming in Go Live (720p/60fps);
- custom server background on mobile;
- animated server icon.
Tier 2 — 7 boosts
Active at 7 boosts. Adds:
- another 50 emoji slots (107 total);
- 256 kbps audio;
- HD streaming 1080p/60fps;
- custom server banner;
- 50 MB file upload limit for every member.
Tier 3 — 14 boosts
Top tier at 14 boosts:
- 250 emoji + 250 animated slots;
- 384 kbps audio;
- 4K streaming;
- custom
discord.gg/your-nameinvite URL; - 100 MB file uploads for everyone;
- custom server audio tag.
Tier comparison table
| Tier | Boosts needed | Emoji slots | Audio | Video | Files | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 0 | 50 | 96 kbps | 720p | 25 MB | free |
| Tier 1 | 2 | 57 | 128 kbps | 720p/60 | 25 MB | $9.98 |
| Tier 2 | 7 | 107 | 256 kbps | 1080p/60 | 50 MB | $34.93 |
| Tier 3 | 14 | 300 | 384 kbps | 4K | 100 MB | $69.86 |
At list price Tier 1 totals $9.98/month, or $4.98 if both boosts come from a Nitro Full subscriber with the 30% discount. Tier 3 at list price reaches almost $70/month.
How to save on boosts
The cheapest way to maintain Tier 1 is to ask two moderators to grab Nitro Full and assign their free boosts to your server. It's fully legal, doesn't violate the ToS, and gives you the base perks without paying for boosts separately. For Tier 2 you need a team of 4–5 Nitro subscribers or extra paid slots.
Buying Nitro and boosts from Russia
Through Marix you can buy Discord Nitro Full with its two included boosts at regional pricing (Turkey, Argentina), paying in rubles. The code lands in your inbox and activates on any account via [Gift Inventory]. Once Nitro is live, the subscriber picks which server to put their boosts on in [Server Boost] → [Manage Boosts].
