Hello Farnom!
Unfortunately, we don't offer individual student discounts for Spine Essential or Professional licenses. The only educational discount available is Spine Education, which is specifically designed for educational institutions like schools and universities rather than individual students.
Since Spine Essential and Professional licenses provide all future updates for life, we maintain a consistent pricing structure that we believe is fair for everyone. This approach ensures we can continue improving Spine with frequent updates and new features.
However, here are some options you might consider:
Start with Spine Essential - At $69 USD, it's more affordable and can still do quite a lot. You can create impressive animations with just the basic features. Later, you can upgrade to Professional by paying only the difference in price, which works a bit like paying in installments.
Educational Institution License - If there's a larger group of students interested in using Spine, you could talk to your professor about getting Spine Education for your school: https://esotericsoftware.com/spine-purchase
Money-back guarantee - We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for any reason, so you can try Spine risk-free.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
