How and when is it profitable to buy JetBrains products?

Question

phpstorm

I want to finally switch completely to phpstorm, having bought a normal license, but with the current rate, the price is still affordable, maybe they have discounts? when about? Or maybe there are some other options so that it’s not so expensive) yes, they have quality products, you can’t argue here, but I decided to clarify before buying.

Answer 1

There are discounts (I bought my first licenses for a promotion with a 50% discount), but not on a schedule and they are not announced in advance. There are also permanent programs , check if you fit them.
~ 5500 rubles for a personal license in the first year, ~ 4500 in the second and ~ 3500 in the next - frankly, it’s much cheaper and what can bite here? If you cannot afford such a one-time amount, pay monthly ~ 550 rubles.

Answer 2

The theme is repeated year after year.

If you are self-employed and cannot afford a license, ask the company to buy it for you.
500r / month in the first year, -20% for the second year, -40% in the next, if the subscription is active all the time - this is quite a bit.
Just think about how much money you spend per month on unnecessary garbage, like chocolates / chips / cigarettes. Immediately money for a license will be found.
