Discord is a SaaS product that delivers its core workflow through a web app with per-seat billing and enterprise upgrades. Its product surface covers web app for the operator's core workflow alongside API and integrations with common business tools, with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces.
