90% off for verified students.

The offer

Verified students get 90% off inference credits for 12 months. After the period, pricing returns to the standard plan rate — you keep your workspace, your keys, and your code.

Who is eligible

• Students with a verified .edu or university email address.
• University email not available? An enrolment letter or student ID works.
• Researchers at academic institutions with an institutional email.

Eligibility is verified before the discount is granted — this keeps the programme sustainable so it can stay at 90%.

How to claim (3 steps)

1. Create your workspace and note your account email.
2. Send the request from your student email with your university name and the word EDU50.
3. Once verified, apply EDU50 at checkout or on the billing page.

What you pay vs OpenAI

OpenAI does not offer a published 90% education discount on API credits. With Plugsky, a student on the Starter plan pays roughly $1.40/month after the education discount — full access to 30+ models, streaming, and embeddings. That is the difference between experimenting and building.

Terms and expiry

• Valid until 2030-01-01.
• 90% off, duration: 12 months, applies to inference credits.
• Cannot be combined with other coupons (campaign discounts may be overridden — we recommend the higher discount).

FAQ

Is the EDU50 coupon legit?

Can I stack it with 40CODE?

No. One coupon per checkout. Use the one that saves you more.

What happens when it expires?
