Subscriptions
Kinds of subscriptions
In Rationale there are standard three subscription forms: Basic, Extra and Premium (3 months, 6 months or a year).
For Educational accounts there are two versions: Basic and Extra (per year only).
When an educational subscription that is bought individually (so not by the school or university) is prolonged before the end of the year, the user receives a 50% discount.
You pay beforehand for the whole period.
Educational discount
How to receive a subscription with Educational discount? You only qualify when you use your educational email address for registration and payment.
Who qualifies?
Full- or part-time students enrolled at an education institution defined as an accredited public or private university, college or school that grants degrees.

When your institution is not on our e-mail discount list send us your domain (possible only after your email address is checked).
