I’d be willing to pay, but not that much for my brother and I to chat every now and then.
Their pricing is geared towards enterprises with big budgets, not family and friends, nor even interest groups. It’s pretty much Discord everywhere now, and it’s just a matter of time until Discord eats the enterprise market too…

- insightcheck 4y agoHypothetically, I wonder how Discord would pull off a shift to enterprise. A big differentiator is that Discord is more for casual conversation. By changing the current successful product, it won't stand out versus Slack/Teams. However, a fork to a separate version of Discord sounds very, very costly in terms of resources. They would need a lot of software development (when their current developers are already occupied with the main app), and a costly marketing strategy too (to reframe Discord's fork as non-casual and suitable for business). The shift sounds very expensive, and I'm not sure how Discord could make it pay off.

- ethbr0 4y agoI think Google shows how non-trivial being good at enterprise sales is. It's a different mindset to become a "We never thought anyone would want to do that, but we realize it's a key feature for you, so we'll get it on the roadmap" company.
