how to read this
free means the vendor's own page confirms $0 cost for verified students. discount means a paid plan at a reduced price — real value, but not free, and easy to mistake for one when a headline just says "for students." expired / none means the promo has lapsed or no dedicated student program currently exists, kept here so you stop looking for it. The India note on each row exists because verification method — institutional email vs. an uploaded student ID or enrollment letter — is the single biggest reason an otherwise-real offer turns out to be unreachable for a given student.
