Moving from Discord to AChat
Community chat, with Nitro as its paid upgrade for things like bigger uploads. Choose Discord if you run a large community and want voice channels. Choose AChat if your community should welcome visitors with no account, or you want personal chats encrypted end to end.
Last checked 2026-11-07. The full comparison is on AChat and Discord.
How to move across
- Sign in to AChat and pick a username. It asks for no phone number.
- Tell the people you talk to on Discord your username, or send them your link or QR code (personal chats and contacts).
- Save your recovery key somewhere only you can reach (devices and recovery). It's what brings your history back if you lose every device.
- Keep Discord open until the people you need have moved. AChat doesn't import chats from other apps.
