FREE/DISCOUNTED TOOLS LIST

Almost everything is free, and some offer crazy discounts. You can become a student, study, and use all the services without even attending classes.

Absolutely everyone gets annoyed at having to pay subscription fees to use one service or another. No one wants to do it, but they have to.

More than $10,000 a year for that? That's crazy.

Here is the list.

The King of Subscriptions

1. GitHub Student Developer Pack is the undisputed king of student subscriptions:

• One application

• One verification

• 100+ tools unlocked

Every other student subscription saves you money on one thing. The GitHub Student Developer Pack builds your entire development environment for free.
