Common questions
Do I need to already have an Appwrite account?
No, you can create a new account during the Education signup process. However, existing Appwrite users can also apply for the Education plan if they're verified through the GitHub Student Developer Pack.
What's the difference between the Education plan and Pro plan?
The Education plan includes the same resource limits as the Pro plan (300GB bandwidth, 150GB storage, etc.), but excludes email support and add-ons. You'll have access to a special Discord channel for student support instead.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
No, the Education plan is restricted to educational and non-commercial use only. For commercial projects, you would need to upgrade to a paid plan.
What happens when I graduate?
Your Education plan access ends when you graduate or when your GitHub Student Developer Pack membership expires. You would then need to transition to a paid plan or the free tier to continue using Appwrite.

Once you're verified through the GitHub Student Developer Pack, Appwrite automatically verifies your membership when you sign up. The GitHub verification itself may take a few days depending on your documentation.
