What's included

Amp is the agentic coding tool from Sourcegraph, known for running frontier models with almost no configuration. Since August 2026, students and teachers get the Megawatt plan for $10/month instead of $20, a straight 50% off. The discounted plan keeps the core of Megawatt: 750 hours of orbs (Amp's remote machines), $10 of included agent usage per month, and unlimited repositories, with the option to link an existing ChatGPT or X Premium+ subscription for high mode. Claiming it is unusually easy: sign in at ampcode.com/edu, fill out the form, and declare on your honor that you're a student or teacher. No school email, no document upload, no promo code.

  • 50% Off the Megawatt PlanThe full Megawatt subscription for $10/month instead of $20. It's Amp's standard individual plan, so you get the real product, not a stripped student edition.
  • 750 Hours of OrbsOrbs are Amp's remote machines for running agents in the cloud. The education plan includes the same 750 hours per month as regular Megawatt.
  • $10 in Monthly Agent CreditsIncluded model usage worth $10 each month (regular Megawatt includes $20). Low and medium modes are covered; high mode unlocks if you link a ChatGPT subscription.
  • Honor-System VerificationNo school email, SheerID, or document upload. You sign in, fill out a short form, and declare that you're a student or teacher. Access is immediate.
  • Link Your Existing AI SubscriptionsConnect a ChatGPT or X Premium+/SuperGrok subscription you already pay for and use it inside Amp, including high mode with a linked ChatGPT plan.

Fine print & gotchas

  • Megawatt only. The 50% discount applies to the Megawatt plan, not Gigawatt or the pay-as-you-go Unconstrained tier.
  • Honor-system verification. You declare your student or teacher status yourself. Be truthful: Amp reserves the right to change the qualification criteria at any time.
  • Half the included agent credits. The education plan includes $10/month of agent usage, versus $20 on full-price Megawatt. Everything else matches.
  • Applies at next renewal for existing subscribers. If you were already paying $20/month, the discount starts at your next billing date. No retroactive refunds.
  • High mode needs a linked ChatGPT subscription. Low and medium modes are included; high mode requires connecting a paid ChatGPT plan you already have.
  • The program can change. Amp states it can modify or discontinue the discount at any time. Announced August 18, 2026; terms verified the same day.

Common questions

Is Amp free for students?
Not through this deal, but Amp does have a free tier. Amp Free is ad-free and costs nothing, though Amp currently lists it as "full for now" with limited capacity. The education discount is the reliable route: the paid Megawatt plan at $10/month, half the regular $20 price.
How much does Amp cost normally?
Amp's individual plan, Megawatt, costs $20/month. The heavy-duty Gigawatt plan costs $200/month, and there's a pay-as-you-go option for teams called Unconstrained. The education discount brings Megawatt down to $10/month for students and teachers.
Do I need a school email or student ID?
No. Amp's verification is an honor system: you sign in, fill out the form, and declare that you're a student or teacher. Amp's pricing page literally says "Declare, on your honor, that you are a student or teacher". Answer honestly, since Amp can change the qualification criteria at any time.
Do teachers get the discount too?
Yes. The offer explicitly covers both students and teachers, with the same $10/month price and the same honor-system claim flow.
What's included in the $10/month education plan?
The education plan is the Megawatt plan at half price: 750 hours of orbs (Amp's remote machines), unlimited repositories, and low and medium modes. Included agent usage is $10/month, half of the $20 that regular Megawatt includes. High mode is available if you link a ChatGPT subscription.
Does the discount apply to Gigawatt?
No. Amp states the education discount "only applies to Amp Megawatt, not Gigawatt or anything else". Gigawatt stays at $200/month for everyone.
I already pay for Megawatt. Do I get money back?
No refunds, but you don't miss out either: claim the discount and the $10 price applies from your next renewal. Amp states there are no retroactive refunds for time already billed.
Do I need a promo code?
No. There's no Amp promo code or coupon involved. The discount is applied to your account after you complete the form at ampcode.com/edu.
How long does the education discount last?
Amp doesn't publish a fixed duration. It's a monthly subscription at the discounted price, and Amp notes it "can change or discontinue this discount and the qualification criteria at any time". If terms change, we'll update this page.
