Tella for Education gives qualifying educators and students six months of Tella Pro free, then 50% off Pro for as long as they stay eligible. No credit card is required for the free term. Apply on the Tella for Education page.
What happens after the six months?
Your free Pro term starts when your application is approved and ends automatically after six months, without renewing or charging you. We email you a week before it ends.
To keep Pro, go to Settings → Plans & Billing during the last 30 days of the term, choose monthly or yearly billing, and click Keep Pro at 50% off. After you add a card, your paid subscription starts when the free term ends, with the 50% education discount applied automatically.
The discount remains available after the free term ends. Go to Settings → Plans & Billing and click Get Pro at 50% off to subscribe.
If you do not subscribe, your workspace moves to the Free plan. Pro features such as unlimited videos, 4K export, AI editing tools, and full analytics stop, and the Free plan’s limits apply.
Can I get the free term more than once?
No. The free six-month term is available once per workspace. Reapplying, or applying with another school email for the same workspace, does not start another free term.
How long does the 50% education discount last?
For as long as you remain eligible, whether you are an educator or a student. The discount requires a card on file, applies to the current individual Pro price, and works with monthly or yearly billing. We verify your education eligibility every 12 months while you receive it.
If you do not pass the yearly eligibility check, or do not complete it within 30 days, the discount ends and we email you. Your Pro subscription continues at the full price from the next invoice until you change or cancel it in Settings → Plans & Billing. We never start a paid subscription for you: the free term ends without a charge, and the paid subscription only begins when you complete checkout.
Who qualifies
Teachers, professors, and students at accredited educational institutions can apply. You need a Tella account registered with your school’s email address.
Education access is limited to one user per workspace.

After you apply
If you can sign in to Tella and open your workspace, you don’t need to do anything else after receiving the confirmation email.
If you can’t sign in yet, create a Tella account using the school email address from your application, then submit the form again. We’ll get back to you within a few days.
Renewing your eligibility
Every 12 months on the discount, we email you to ask for a new eligibility check. Open the personalized link in that email and resubmit the Tella for Education form within 30 days. When your application is approved, your discount continues unchanged and we check in again a year later.
If your discount already ended because you missed the check or your application was not approved, use the personalized link from the eligibility email to apply again. A later approval restores the discount.
Is there an education plan for a whole school or team?
Education access is for one user per workspace. If your school or department needs access for multiple users, email sales+education@tella.com to ask about an Education Team plan. Last modified on September 28, 2026
