Pro is free for students and open-source maintainers.

If you are studying, or you maintain an active open-source project, you get Mergepond Pro for 12 months at no cost, and can renew for as long as you still qualify.

What you get

Everything in Mergepond Pro, for 12 months:

  • Repos on other machines, opened over SSH.
  • Unlimited workspaces, each with its own window and Git identity.
  • The worktree board, for keeping track of coding agents and branches.

Everything in Free stays free for everyone. Compare Free and Pro.

Who qualifies

Students

Enrolled at a school, college or university. Confirm it in one of two ways:

  • Your school email address, confirmed with a code we send to it.
  • A student ID together with proof of enrolment, if your school doesn’t give you an email.

Open-source maintainers

Active on a public project, which means all three of these:

  • You have maintainer or owner rights on a public repository.
  • The repository uses an OSI-approved open-source licence.
  • It has commits in the last six months.

What we do with your evidence

  • Your ID never touches our servers. Please don’t attach it to an email.
  • Enrolment documents are deleted as soon as we have reviewed them.

After 12 months

Free Pro lasts 12 months. Before it ends, confirm again that you still qualify and it renews for another 12. If you no longer qualify, you can buy Pro or carry on with Mergepond Free.

How to apply

An application form is on its way. Until then, apply by email to hello@mergepond.dev:

  1. Students: email us from your school address. We reply with a code to confirm it. If you have no school email, say so and we’ll tell you how to show your ID and enrolment.
  2. Maintainers: email us the repository and your username on it.
  3. Once you qualify, we send a Pro licence key. Enter it in Mergepond’s Settings.
