Students Get Free Access to GitKraken’s Legendary Git Tools

Yes! Students verified through the GitHub Student Developer Pack get 6 months of GitKraken Student plan for free. After that, you can continue with the discounted student plan as long as you remain a verified student.

The GitKraken Student plan is almost identical to GitKraken Pro for a fraction of the price. The only difference is it’s limited to 1 seat and the AI token limitation is 25,000/week rather than 250,000/week.

GitKraken’s Student plan is free for the first 6 months. After that, take advantage of our lowest price reserved for students: 75-80% off the standard GitKraken Pro price. Prices vary by currency.

To unlock the GitKraken Student plan, sign up for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. Then sign up for a GitKraken account using your GitHub account or connect your existing GitKraken account to GitHub. You can either click GitKraken in the GitHub Student Developer Pack dashboard to claim your offer or claim 6 months free directly from this page. Add your payment method to ensure you don’t lose access after your free term.

When your 6 months are almost up, GitKraken will email and notify you in-app. If you’re still a student, you can continue with the Student plan at a discounted rate. If not, you can choose to cancel or upgrade to the Pro plan.

Your free student access likely expired because your GitHub Student Developer Pack verification lapsed. Double-check your student status with GitHub Education. Once renewed, you’ll continue getting the discounted student pricing.
