01What it is and who is there

The Discord App Directory "lets you search, browse, and explore thousands of apps to customize your server." Server owners and moderators use it to find bots for moderation, games, music, utilities and more. A listing puts your app in front of people already running communities.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

Listing is free in the terms checked. Discord sets eligibility rules for discoverability; check the current developer terms.

03Is it right for you?

It fits bots and apps that improve a Discord server: moderation, onboarding, games, notifications. It fits poorly for products with no Discord use. Your app may need to meet eligibility criteria before it can be listed.

04Before you start

  • A Discord application and bot that works reliably.
  • Read Discord's developer policy and App Directory eligibility rules.
  • A privacy policy and terms of service.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Build and test the app on your own server.
  2. Check the current eligibility requirements for the App Directory.
  3. Set up the app's directory profile: description, screenshots, commands.
  4. Enable discovery when eligible.
  5. Share the app in communities that allow it.
  6. Support server owners and update commands.

06What to post or submit

Short description:

[App] [does job] for your server. Commands: /[cmd] [what it does]. Free: [yes/no].

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not request permissions the app does not need.
  • Do not send unsolicited messages to members.
  • Do not store message data without disclosure.

08How to measure it

  • Track servers added and active usage.
  • A realistic test: two months.

09Time budget

  • Before: 10 to 30 hours.
  • Ongoing: 2 to 4 hours a month.
