Why is the Student plan not visible without a .edu email?

Answer

Short answer:

The Student plan is strictly reserved for active academic users and remains hidden by default to prevent unauthorized access. You must register or log in with a valid educational email address (typically ending in .edu) for the system to recognize your status and display this subscription option.

Overview

Rendair AI offers a dedicated subscription tier for architecture students and educators to access professional visualization tools at a reduced rate. Because this plan provides commercial-grade capabilities at a significant discount, the platform utilizes domain-based verification to ensure eligibility.

If you are logged in with a standard personal email (such as Gmail or Outlook), the pricing page will only display standard professional plans. The Student tier is automatically filtered out until an academic email domain is detected.

How to access the plan

If you are a current student or educator and cannot see the Student plan, follow these steps to unlock it:

1. Check your current login

Verify which email address is currently associated with your Rendair AI account in the settings menu.

1. Update or register

If you are using a personal email, you must either change your email address to your institutional one or create a new account using your .edu address.

1. Refresh the pricing page

Once logged in with a recognized educational domain, return to the subscription page. The system will automatically validate the domain and reveal the Student plan option alongside the standard AI Creator, Pro, and Team Pro tiers.

What is included

The Student plan allows academic users to utilize the same powerful tools used by professional firms, ensuring that skills learned during study translate directly to the workforce.

• Full tool access

Generate visuals from text, sketches, and 3D base inputs without feature restrictions.

• Commercial rights

Images generated under this plan are suitable for portfolios, competitions, and professional use.

• Privacy

Unlike free trials or lower-tier options that may feature images publicly, paid subscriptions generally offer privacy controls for your designs.

When to use this

This plan is specifically designed for academic workflows where budget is a constraint but professional output is required.

• Studio projects

Quickly visualizing concepts for critiques without spending hours on traditional rendering.

• Portfolio building

Creating high-quality variations of design work to show breadth and technical skill.

• Thesis presentations

Producing consistent, polished visuals for final reviews.

Limitations or notes

While the .edu verification covers most institutions, there are exceptions and specific conditions to keep in mind.

• International domains

Some valid academic institutions do not use the .edu extension. If you have a valid student ID but a non-standard email domain, you may need to contact support for manual verification.

• Queue priority

Like the AI Creator plan, the Student plan may be subject to processing queues during peak times. Pro and Team Pro plans are required to skip these queues.

• Subscription management

Credits do not expire while the subscription is active, but canceling the plan results in the loss of unused credits.
