How long does the student discount last?
The student discount is available as long as you maintain a valid .edu email address and are enrolled as a student. You may need to re-verify your student status periodically.
What AI models can I use with the student plan?
With the Pro student plan, you get access to all premium AI models including OpenAI GPT-4, Claude (Anthropic), Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and Mistral. You receive 500 prompt credits per month, with the ability to purchase additional credits if needed.
Can I use Windsurf for my school projects?

Is Windsurf better than other AI code editors?
Windsurf is the world's first AI-native IDE with unique features like the Cascade AI agent. It's also more affordable than competitors like Cursor ($20/month) at just $15/month for Pro, and even cheaper with the student discount.
