Free does not mean cost-free. With Word or Notion, you pay in hours of fiddly tweaking that should have been spent writing. Folio Student costs you 14.99 € per year and gives you back 25 to 40 hours of your student life.

Frequently asked questions

Is the student price really permanent?
Yes, as long as you can prove student status. The price is locked in for 12 months after each verification. No surprise hikes during this period. At the next academic year, you send proof again and the price is renewed.
What happens if I lose my student status at the end of my studies?
Your current subscription runs through its term at the student price. At the next renewal, you automatically move to the standard Folio Studio price (or you can cancel at no cost). Your projects remain accessible for life in read-only mode, even without an active subscription.
How does student status verification work?
You send us a photo of your student ID card, a certificate of enrolment, or an academic email (.edu, .ac.uk, .ulb.be, etc.). A human validates it within 24 business hours. No credit card is required at this stage.
Can I use Folio Student for free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 1 lifetime project with full PDF export, no watermark, and a selection of essential templates. Ideal to test the formatting quality before moving to a paid plan for your next projects.
What is the difference between the 6-month pass and a subscription?
The 6-month pass is a one-time payment of 6.99 € that opens 6 months of unlimited access, with no auto-renewal. The monthly and annual subscriptions renew as long as you want. The pass is handy to wrap up a dissertation or an internship without having to remember to cancel.
Is my student ID card stored?
No. The document is stored encrypted only during verification, then deleted once your status is validated. We only keep the note 'verified until [date]' in your account. No third party gets access.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly and annual subscriptions can be cancelled in 1 click from your account. For annual, you keep access until the end of the paid period (no prorated refund). The 6-month pass being a one-time payment, there is nothing to cancel.
Does the annual subscription renew automatically?
Yes, by default, so that you are not interrupted in the middle of writing your dissertation. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time from your account, and you receive a reminder email 30 days before each billing date.
