  • I map out every task I have to do, and time slot them into my day. The calendar in Tana is great for this, I just drag tasks in to block time.

Questions and answers

  • How do I get the Tana student discount?

    To apply for a student discount, send an email to student@tana.inc with proof of eligibility (e.g., send from your verified .edu address OR send a photo of your student ID). Also include your Tana account email and which plan you'd like:

    • Tana Plus – $5/month or $48/year ($4/month when paid annually)
    • Tana Pro– $9/month or $84/year ($7/month when paid annually)

    It's important to specify if you'd like the monthly or annual plan.

  • Can existing subscribers switch to the new student plan?

    Yes! If you qualify, email student@tana.inc with proof of eligibility (your school email or student ID). Please also include:

    • Which plan you want
      • Tana Plus – $5/month or $48/year ($4/month when paid annually).
      • Tana Pro– $9/month or $84/year ($7/month when paid annually).
    • Your Tana account email

    Depending on your current plan and eligibility, we will update your subscription based on the following:

    • Monthly subscribers: We’ll switch you to the student plan at the end of your current billing cycle.
    • Annual subscribers: You’ll also be switched to the student plan at the end of your current billing cycle. As an added bonus, you’ll receive AI credits equal to 2× the cost difference between what’s remaining on your current plan and the student plan.
  • I'm a student who loves Tana - how can I get more involved?

    First of all, join our 26K strong Community on Slack to share tips, learnings, and help others.

    We’re also launching a Tana Student Ambassador Program for the 2025/26 school year—if you’d like to get involved, email student@tana.inc with a bit about yourself and your ideas.

  • I work in academia. Do I qualify for the student discount?

    Yes. Email student@tana.inc with one of the following:

    • A message from your verified institutional email (e.g., .edu or your university’s domain), or
    • A photo of your current student/academic ID.
  • Is it allowed to use transcription services to record lectures at universities/schools?

    The general policy for transcribing lectures at most academic institutions is that recording or transcribing lectures is permitted primarily for personal, educational use, however we recommend checking with your institution. A good rule of thumb is to always obtain consent before recording & transcribing others.

  • What happens when I graduate or leave my school?

    Your student discount is valid for 12 months at a time. We’ll re-verify your status (usually with your school email or proof of enrollment). If we can’t verify it anymore, your discount will continue until the end of your current billing cycle, and then your workspace will switch to regular pricing unless you provide updated student info.

Tana has been invaluable to me as a student. Being able to chat with my class notes is a game changer. Tana has solved most of my productivity downfalls and more importantly the need for multiple tools to do the job. If you can dream it, Tana can do it.

I was a Notion user for 3–4 years, both as a student and for work. But I always felt that the apps' limitations affected my learning. Then I found Tana. It’s been two years now, and Tana has been a game-changer. It helped me get the academic results I needed.

In a sea of productivity tools, Tana stands out. It’s both powerful enough to help you track, study, process, and produce whatever you want to and it’s flexible enough for you to do it the way you think and do.
