The vast array of free features on Discord right out of the box makes it a stand-out in pricing from other chat platform options. Discord works phenomenally if you want a chat platform that is free, quick to set up, and very flexible in the ways you can start using it. It …

Slack`s free version doesnt save the conversations history, there is no voice channels, it doesnt bring people together with all the incentives for interaction like Discord have.

For small businesses, Discord by far works the same with less limitations compared to Slack. I understand Slack is built for enterprise-level companies, but for small businesses, Discord works better than Slack and Telegram. Telegram didn't really allow for specific …

The organization of groups and channels are better on Discord than Slack although the later is widely used in the tech circuit while the former is use in the gaming community. Maybe for that fact the online features are better on Discord making it better suited for coding. Not …

Honestly, I would use Slack and Skype over Discord anyway because they are faster, easier to use, and easier to find conversations. Discord is great at times but, in our experience, having it continuously buffering and taking forever to load really slows down our team. However, …

Discord is better when addressing many people at once. I like how you can upload emotes, and it's just a lot more fun. I don't even use Whatsapp anymore. I'd rather text people than use Whatsapp for all intense and purposes. Discord also uses bots and I don't think Whatsapp does.

Discord works phenomenally if you want a chat platform that is free, quick to set up, and very flexible in the ways you can start using it. It doesn't require a complex set of logins for different servers and confusion about adding new members, or tough pricing right out of the gate. If you prefer to view full conversations all in one place without them "splintering" off into branches that are missed, Discord works great for this. All in all, Discord is great for startup companies or lean working companies, but it does not lend itself as well for larger, traditional "corporate" enterprises.

More customizability of the notification sound for each server. It would be nice to set each of my important servers with a different notification sound.
