Local pricing for Kyrgyzstan

Dear Discord Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the pricing of Discord services in Kyrgyzstan. Currently, the cost for a yearly subscription to Discord Nitro is set at $100, which is significantly high for many users in our country.

I would like to present a few key points to support the request for local pricing in Kyrgyzstan:

Economic Disparity: The average income in Kyrgyzstan is substantially lower compared to countries like the United States or Western European nations. According to the World Bank, the Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in Kyrgyzstan is approximately $1,220. This makes the $100 subscription fee an excessive burden for the average citizen.

Cost of Living: The cost of living in Kyrgyzstan is relatively low, and expenses are adjusted accordingly. However, international pricing models, like the one currently used for Discord services, do not reflect this reality, making it difficult for many users to justify or afford the expenditure.

Access to Digital Services: Affordable access to digital services like Discord is crucial for educational, social, and professional purposes. Many students and professionals in Kyrgyzstan rely on platforms like Discord for collaboration and learning. High costs can exclude a significant portion of the population from these valuable resources.

Competitive Market: Other global digital service providers have successfully implemented localized pricing strategies to cater to different economic conditions. Following a similar approach could not only increase the accessibility of Discord in Kyrgyzstan but also expand your user base in the region.

By considering a localized pricing model for Kyrgyzstan, Discord can make its services more accessible and equitable for users in our country. This adjustment would demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and recognition of the diverse economic circumstances of your global user base.

Thank you for considering this request. I hope you will take these points into account and look into the possibility of implementing local pricing for Kyrgyzstan. I look forward to your positive response.

Best regards
