Free PRO requires your school to join MDB Edu (a faculty/library member publishes MDB's tutorial page on the official school domain). Once enrolled, students verify with school email and get MDB PRO free for 12 months (renewable), worth $2,049/yr.

If your school isn't enrolled, apply for a 50% student discount instead — email MDB from your school-domain address, verify with student ID, get 50% off your first purchase.

MDB Free (core library) is MIT-licensed — free for everyone, personal and commercial, no attribution required.
