Quick answer
JetBrains currently offers 1 perk we've verified first-hand — including jetbrains ides free for students and teachers. Each requires claiming; none apply automatically.
JetBrains makes the IDEs working developers pay for — IntelliJ, PyCharm, and the rest of the professional lineup. Students and faculty can get those licenses free while they study or teach, by applying with a school email or an ISIC card and renewing annually. The verified perk is the free student pack, not a percentage off a monthly personal plan. The unused pile is a computer-science student paying for a commercial seat, or a teacher who never applied because the classroom already has a campus license they cannot use at home. We do not inventory every IDE in the pack; the education page lists the current tools. Apply once, renew while you remain eligible, and stop paying for the same editor twice.
