Artlist student discount
October 25, 2026
Artlist doesn’t publish a student discount: neither its help center nor its pricing pages list one. The cheapest way for a student to get Artlist is the same as for anyone else, Music & SFX Social at $119.88 a year.
Through the partner link on our Artlist discount code page, that annual plan runs 14 months instead of 12, which works out at $8.56 a month.
What’s the cheapest Artlist plan for students?
| Option | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Free account | $0 | $0 |
| Music & SFX Social, monthly | $14.99 a month | $14.99 |
| Music & SFX Social, annual | $119.88 a year | $9.99 |
| Music & SFX Social, annual with 2 extra months | $119.88 for 14 months | $8.56 |
| Music Pro, annual with 2 extra months | $199 for 14 months | $14.21 |
| AI Starter, annual with 2 extra months | $143.88 for 14 months | $10.28 |
Music & SFX Social includes music, stems, sound effects and the Premiere Pro extension. Its license is for personal use and covers one personal channel per social platform, which fits a student’s own YouTube or TikTok channel.
If you edit for clients, even small paid jobs, you need the Pro license. Music Pro is the cheapest plan with it, at $199 a year for music and stems. Every plan is in Artlist pricing.
Can students use Artlist for free?
Yes, with limits. Artlist’s free account has no time limit and needs no card. It includes watermarked music and footage previews, 3 AI voiceovers, 2 AI images, 1 AI video, 2 AI music tracks and 2,000 Artlist Studio credits. It’s useful for testing tracks against an edit. The Artlist free trial guide has the details.
Other ways for students to pay less for Artlist
Refer classmates. Once you subscribe, Artlist’s Refer a Friend program adds 2 months to your subscription and to your friend’s when they take a yearly plan through your link. It only counts new users without an active subscription, monthly plans aren’t eligible, and 10 referrals earn a lifetime subscription.
Pay yearly on AI plans. Annual billing on Artlist’s AI plans costs 40% less than monthly. AI Starter is $143.88 a year against $239.88 paying $19.99 a month.
Watch for a holiday sale. Artlist’s 2025 Holiday Sale took up to 40% off annual AI plans and 20% off Max Pro for the first year. It has ended, and no 2026 sale has been announced. The Artlist holiday sale guide has what’s known.
Which music libraries have a student discount?
Two alternatives publish student offers:
- Epidemic Sound gives students an exclusive code after verification through Student Beans. Epidemic Sound doesn’t state the size of the discount on its page. The Epidemic Sound student discount guide covers how to get it.
- Envato Elements takes 30% off its Core plan after student verification, according to Envato’s pricing page. Core costs $39 a month or $198 a year before the discount and includes music and sound effects alongside stock video and templates.
Epidemic Sound also has a 30-day free trial on its Creator, Pro and Business plans, which Artlist doesn’t offer.
