FAQ
Is GitKraken still free for students in 2026?
Yes, as of Oct 21, 2026. 6 months free (including GitKraken Desktop Pro, GitLens Pro, and the CLI) Always double-check the official page before relying on an offer — terms do change.
Do I need a credit card? How long does the GitKraken student offer last?
The official page does not state a card requirement clearly — expect to check during signup. Duration details are under Expiry & renewal above. Duration: 6 months, renewable (community reports of it often expiring early and requiring re-verification)
What's the catch with GitKraken's student program?
The honest caveats: 6 months, renewable (community reports of it often expiring early and requiring re-verification). Student programs are usually limited to non-commercial use, may require yearly re-verification, and can be discontinued with little notice — that is exactly why this page exists. Verify on the official page before building anything on top of a free tier.
