What are Read's EDU plans for students and teachers?

Read offers a discounted version of our paid plans for students and teachers with a verified .edu email address. There are two different options:

  • EDU plan: $60/year (compare to the Read Pro plan) includes:
    • Unlimited meeting reports with automated note-taking and transcription
    • Support for calls recorded via Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams
    • Support for pushing reports to Slack and Teams chat, plus Readouts (email and messaging summaries)
  • EDU + Video plan: $100/year (compare to the Read Enterprise plan) includes:
    • Everything in the EDU plan, plus
    • Audio & video playback, highlight reels, and the ability to download/share video

These plans provide Read at a heavily discounted rate (the equivalent of $5/month for EDU vs. $15/month for Pro), but come with a couple of limitations. These plans are only available on an annual term, and they don't support Workspaces or premium integrations (for CRMs and workflows like HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, and webhooks). Otherwise, the EDU and EDU + Video plans support all of the same features as the Pro and Enterprise plans, respectively.

What are the pros and cons of the EDU plans?

The main advantage of the EDU plans is the significantly discounted price compared to Read's other paid plans. Compared to a Free Read account, the EDU plans provide many benefits, including:

  • Unlimited meeting reports vs. 5/month with Free
  • 4-hour maximum per-meeting recording duration vs. 1 hour with Free
  • Complimentary monthly upload credits for file upload reports (100 for EDU / 200 for EDU + Video)
  • Access to the For You page and the Daily Read audio summary (beta)
  • Audio/video playback and highlight reels (EDU + Video only)

The primary limitations of the EDU plans are:

  • You must subscribe annually (no monthly option)
  • You can't create or belong to a Workspace
  • You can't use premium integrations (no CRM or workflow integrations like HubSpot or Zapier)

What happens if I join a Workspace?

Workspaces are only supported on the Read Pro, Enterprise, or Enterprise+ plans. If you accept an invitation to join someone else's Read Workspace, your plan will be replaced by whatever plan the Workspace is using. While you won't be charged for your EDU plan going forward, you also won't receive a refund for any unused time. This works the same as joining a Workspace from any account with a standalone paid license.
