Which should you choose?

NVIDIA App: Free app for drivers, game optimisation and instant replay recording.

Discord: Voice, video and text chat for communities and friends.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
