Glasp is free for university students
Higher AI limits and every chat model, free while you study: more AI summaries, chat, PDF chat and transcription than the Free plan. No credit card.
We verify your student status from the email address of the account you sign in with. Nothing to upload. Today that covers university addresses ending in .edu or in a country's academic ending such as .ac.uk or .edu.au, and a number of other universities by name; if yours is not recognised, see the last question below.

What Glasp Student includes, and its limits, can change at any time, and Glasp Student itself may be discontinued.

"I love Glasp! I use it every time I read online articles. Highlighting with Glasp enforces me to actually read rather than scan through an article. I retain so much more info and can easily revisit my previously read articles to recall details and notes I've made."

"I've researched every highlighting tool from Liner and Hypothesis to Instapaper and Pocket, and Glasp is the best hands-down. First, it creates a whole category of its own with social highlighting. This is important because it helps learners get recognized for finding amazing highlights, and it helps them connect with others who are learning the same thing at the same time. Also, it has the best highlighting workflow. While reading an article, you can select text in order to highlight and annotate without having to go to a different page. Furthermore, all of your highlights for a specific article appear on a right sidebar as you're reading, and they're easy to copy and paste into another note-taking app...."

"I used Instapaper but ended up hating it and stopped. There just wasn't a tool for me to continue using until Glasp. I was hooked immediately for the ease of use (highlight directly on the article web page), organized feed, and learning from others' highlights and notes. It makes sticking to learning something so easy and you can no longer find any excuses. Highly recommended to anyone who loves reading awesome articles or want to start forming such habit...."

"I love the way Glasp is always there while I'm reading articles on the web ready to help me remember key phrases or interesting ideas. The interface looks like Tumblr meets Google Reader. It's always full of fresh and interesting things that struck someone else as valuable. What a wonderful place to visit!"
Jason Shellen
Founder & Advisor
"Glasp drastically reduces the time for note-taking for me. I needed a common platform to keep references and notes, where everyone could seamlessly collaborate. In any situation that requires collaboration, oftentimes, it acts as a references repository for our knowledge base. It allows me to keep my notes easily accessible to myself and across my teams. I’ve been using the tool religiously over the past 6 months and with Glasp, I’ve been able to keep my work more organized and productive. I use it every time I read anything online. Moreover, the Glasp community—even outside my inner team—allows me to explore what others are reading, helping me discover interesting new articles every day. Absolutely love discovering this new social network!..."

"Glasp is such a meaningful product! It helps me focus and think deeply on the content that resonates with me the most, and share my thoughts with friends and colleagues effortlessly by simply highlighting the content that I love. I’m constantly inspired by everyone’s highlights, shared articles, and resources from Glasp’s community, and these daily inspirations make me a better thinker and help me see the world from different perspectives. Thank you for coming into my life, Glasp..."

"As someone who has been following the GTD, Zettelkasten, PKM, Second Brain, zettelkasten ways of working, Glasp helped me shift from following to doing. It acts as a forcing function, motivating me to think through what stood out, why it stood out, and to categorize it according to what I'd be interested in learning more about. Also, Glasp lets me see other's highlights, which feels like following a bread crumb trail to interesting content and insights I wouldn't have normally come across. Glasp helps me curate thoughtful, provocative information, that I can build into my writing practice...."

"Glasp has been a lifesaver! It helps me quickly refer to important parts of articles I need to come back to for assignments as well as work. With it, I’ve been more organized and productive! I also often discover useful articles and resources that friends have been reading."
Ananya
Content Creator
"Glasp is a habit now. It helps me build an archive of the most interesting ideas I come across online. It's a wonderful tool that makes me read with more attention and allows me to discover great insights from all kinds of interesting users."
Thiény Konaté
Agency Founder
"Glasp makes it easy for me to remember what I read and watch on a daily basis. The app is always ready to let me highlight the important passages and create notes. Exporting the higlights is as easy as using a one-click button to paste it to my Obsidian vault. Glasp not only has these features but it also functions as a community where you can see what your friends are reading and highlighting, so everyone can learn from each other. It takes the concept of "learning in public" to the next level. Highly recommended for life-long learners...."

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can get Glasp Student?
Current college and university students aged 18 or older, whose Glasp account signs in with their university email through Google or Apple and has no paid plan that renews. Today Glasp Student recognises university addresses ending in .edu, or in a country's official academic ending (for example .ac.uk, .ac.jp or .edu.au), and a number of universities with other endings by name. Many universities in Canada and continental Europe use other endings and are not on that list yet: see the last question. School (K-12) and alumni addresses are not eligible.
My Glasp account uses Gmail. Can I verify with my school email?
Not on that account. Glasp Student belongs to the account you sign in with, and there is no field to type a school address into: the sign-in itself is the verification. Signing in with your university Google or Apple account creates a separate Glasp account, which starts empty; the highlights on your current account stay there and don't move over. The browser extension uses whichever account you sign in with.
My university email isn't a Google account. Can I still get it?
Yes, as long as you can sign in to Glasp with that address through Google or Apple. You can create a Google Account with your existing university address (Google offers to use your existing email when you create an account), or use Continue with Apple with an Apple Account that uses your university address, choosing “Share My Email” rather than “Hide My Email”. Either way, the address Glasp sees is your university one, already verified by Google or Apple. If creating a Google Account with your university address doesn't work (some universities manage their addresses with Google themselves), use the Apple route.
How long does it last?
Twelve months from the day you activate it. In its last 30 days you can renew it by confirming your answers, as long as you are still a student; the renewed plan runs for 12 months from the day you renew, not from the old end date. When it ends, your account goes back to the Free plan and keeps everything you have saved.
What do you ask for, and why?
A few questions about your studies: what you'll use Glasp for, your degree, your field of study and the year you expect to graduate, plus, if you like, your research topic (for Master's and PhD students), how you heard about Glasp Student, and whether we may email you about research interviews, beta tests and student programs. We use the answers to understand who uses Glasp Student and how, and to set the plan's limits. They are kept with your account, also after the plan ends, are not shown on your profile, are never sold, and are deleted with your account, or earlier if you ask. You can take the email permission back on this page at any time. We don't ask for your name, university or country: your account and your university address already tell us.
Does it cost anything, or need a credit card?
No. Glasp Student is free and asks for no payment details. Nothing is charged when it ends.
What if I need more than the Student limits?
Students, and educators with a university email, get 40% off Glasp Pro yearly every year, for as long as the subscription continues ($90 a year instead of $150 at today's price). Pro has higher AI limits than the Student plan (see the table above). You'll find the button next to your Student plan on this page.
Does the student discount on Pro apply every year?
Yes. It is 40% off the regular price of Glasp Pro yearly, on the first payment and at every renewal, for as long as your subscription continues (at today's regular price of $150 a year, that is $90 a year). It ends with the subscription, and it can be used once per person: if you cancel and come back, email [email protected]. The offer may change or end for new subscribers. If we ever change it for an existing subscription, we'll tell you before the renewal it applies to, as our Terms of Service describe for changes to fees.
I already pay for Glasp Pro. What changes?
Nothing has to. Your Pro or Unlimited plan already includes everything in Glasp Student, with the same or higher limits. If Glasp Student would be enough for you and your sign-in address qualifies (the box at the top of this page tells you), cancel in Settings under Manage Subscription, then come back to this page and activate Glasp Student. You keep your paid plan until the end of the period you paid for, and Glasp Student takes over that day, so the account never drops to the Free plan's limits. Activating Glasp Student does not cancel a paid plan by itself. As an exception to our no-refund policy, if your account qualifies and your plan renewed in the last 30 days, email [email protected] once Glasp Student is activated and we'll refund that renewal in full and end the paid plan.
Can I have Glasp Student on more than one account?
No. One university address is one Student plan, on one Glasp account at a time. If you delete your account, or your university address moves to another Glasp account, that address can activate Glasp Student again 30 days after it last did.
Can Glasp Student change?
Yes. What Glasp Student includes, and its limits, can change at any time, and Glasp Student itself may be discontinued.
My university's email ends differently, or Glasp doesn't recognise it. Can I still join?
Yes, if it is a college or university. Email [email protected] from your university address with your university's name, and we'll look at adding its domain.
Glasp Student terms
- Glasp Student is for current students of colleges and universities who are 18 or older. Eligibility is checked from the email address of the account you sign in with, and Glasp decides whether an address or domain qualifies.
- One Student plan per person and per university address, on one Glasp account at a time. It lasts 12 months from activation and may be renewed while you remain eligible.
- Activating or renewing asks a few questions about your studies; please answer them truthfully. Glasp uses the answers as described in its Privacy Policy.
- The limits listed above apply. Glasp may change the Student plan's features or limits at any time, or end the program.
- Glasp may decline or end a Student plan obtained with an address that does not show current student status, or used in breach of these terms, including sharing or selling an account.
- Switching from a paid plan: once a paid plan is set to end, Glasp Student can be activated on an account that qualifies, and takes over when the paid plan ends. If that paid plan renewed in the last 30 days, email [email protected] and we will refund that renewal in full and end the paid plan. This is an exception to the no-refund rule in the Terms of Service.
- The student discount on Glasp Pro is a separate, paid offer: 40% off the regular price of Glasp Pro yearly, on the first payment and at every renewal while that subscription continues, once per person. It ends with the subscription. Glasp may change or end the offer for new subscribers; a change for an existing subscription is a change to fees under the Terms of Service.
- These are additional terms under Glasp's Terms of Service, which govern everything else; where the two differ about Glasp Student, these terms apply.
