Paid software and subscriptions that students — and in many cases anyone — can legitimately use for free. This page lists only official application pages, and every link was checked as of August 2026. No trials, no discounts: free only.
A school email address unlocks most of these. Click a card to open the official application page.
No student status needed. Free or open-source editions of paid-grade tools.
Most benefits verify you through a university email address. Set up your school mailbox before anything else — and grab what you need before you graduate and the address expires.
GitHub accepts an enrollment certificate or student ID photo instead of a school email. Approval can take a few days, and the GitHub verification then unlocks JetBrains and Unity as well.
JetBrains and several others require re-verification every year. Note the expiry mail — renewing is usually one click while you are still enrolled.
Student and free personal editions generally exclude commercial work. If a project starts making money, check the license terms and switch to a proper plan.
