+ 1 Students and teachers at accredited educational institutions get free access to all JetBrains professional IDEs — IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, WebStorm, CLion, Rider, PhpStorm, DataGrip, RubyMine, GoLand, RustRover, and DataSpell — plus .NET tools like ReSharper. The license is valid for one year and renewable annually as long as you remain enrolled. Starting with IDE version 2025.1, all licensed users (including educational license holders) also get the AI Free tier: unlimited local code completion powered by JetBrains' Mellum model, offline AI via Ollama or LM Studio, and a small monthly cloud credit quota for AI chat and code generation using models like GPT-5.2, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, and Gemini. No credit card required.
