This looks awesome, but sadly, your education plan is practically unusable for most of Latin America, where .edu (or .ac) email addresses are very rare. I'm a college student and I can't apply because my university uses our country TLD.

I hope you can reconsider this policy and begin using university domain lists [1] instead of just checking for TLDs.

[1]: See https://github.com/Hipo/university-domains-list, by example.

Also, please consider NGO/non-profit pricing. I work as a volunteer on a local NGO working on government transparency. We're severely underfunded, and we'd love to be able to use tools such as these, but it's a pretty difficult cost to bear.

Thanks for your feedback! The reason we don't have this yet is only because we're a small team, but we're growing and will definitely have NGO/non-profit discounts!

Thank you! I did notice the regional discount, which I really appreciate (not sure if it's based on PPPs, but it's refreshing to see from LatAm).

We're allow-listing domains for any educational institutions that's not on our list. Thanks for sending that link, we'll take a look!

Integrating with https://education.github.com/pack/ might be easier as GitHub takes care of all the verification processes. (and it allows high-school students too)
