Setapp Educational Plan w/ Meadowbrook Email
What is Setapp?
Setapp is a collection of Mac apps included in a subscription service. This includes YouTube video downloaders, better screenshot editors, gif editors, productivity tools, and a whole lot more. It is a bit staggering just how much is included in this subscription bundle. For more info, check out the Setapp website here (https://setapp.com/).
While the subscription is normally $9.99/month, there is an educational discount for student and teachers that brings the price to $59.88/year (half the normal cost). Normally, this discount is only available with a .edu email address. Here are the steps to take to get this discount with our .org email addresses.
Creating Your Setapp Account
To create your Setapp account, click the "Try Free" button at the top right corner of the page.
You will be prompted to either enter an email to make an account with, or to sign in with Apple or Google. I used the "sign in with Google" button, but you can also make an account by typing your email in. As long as the account has ".meadowbrook-ma.org" as the end of the email address, you are good to go.
Once you have set up your account, it should look like this:
Applying Educational Discount
To get the educational discount for our Setapp account, we need to reach out to Setapp support. To do this, go to the "Submit a request" page here (https://support.setapp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).
If the page above does not work, you can also get to the Submit a request page by finding "Support" at the bottom of the Setapp home page, then clicking "Submit a request" at the top right corner of the Support page.
From the list of problem types, select "Billing questions".
From here, put a subject & message asking for the educational discount with your Meadowbrook email address. The subject I used was "Setapp Educational Discount". Here is the message that I sent. Feel free to copy & paste this message, putting your email address and first name where listed.
Hello,
