Questions about student discounts
How do I prove I’m a student?
Each provider checks it in its own way, usually with a school email, a student ID or proof of enrollment, and often through a verification service such as UNiDAYS or SheerID. The verification note on each offer says what we found on the official page.
Are the prices on this page before or after tax?
Both. The big green price includes the tax of the province you pick (Ontario by default). Under it you see the price before tax, in the currency the provider bills (a few plans are in US dollars, so their total with tax is approximate). The calculator adds the same tax.
How long does a student discount last?
It depends on the provider. Apple Music allows up to 48 months and Notion asks you to verify once a year, while the Adobe student price lasts the first year and Google AI Plus is free for one year. Check the terms of each offer.
What happens when I stop being a student?
It depends on the provider. For example, Apple Music renews as a standard individual subscription if you do not re-verify, and Notion moves the workspace to its Free plan. Read the provider’s terms before your verification date.
What if a student offer is missing or a price is out of date?
We only list offers that we have checked on the provider’s official page. If you know of one that is missing, or a price has changed, tell us with the Contact button or the Report Price button in the calculator.
