Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, Office 365 Student Discounts 2026

"Is there a student discount?" is one of the most-asked questions about subscription services — yet the four big services answer it completely differently: one gives you half off, one is outright free, and one has no student price at all. This guide settles, in one place, the 2026 student offers in Taiwan for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium, and Office 365 — how much they cost, how eligibility is verified, how long they last, and what to do after graduation, with every number backed by a cited source.

Our position up front: this article is written by the PremLogin team, and we ourselves run a subscription platform. But where the official student plan is the better deal, we say so plainly — for three of the four services, the best move for students is the official student route. Our plans are for people without student status or who have already graduated; we lay them out side by side later, never blended together.

The Short Answer: Four Lines

• Spotify: has a Student plan, NT$88/month, about half the Individual plan^[來源].
• YouTube Premium: has a Student plan, NT$119/month, but you can't subscribe via iOS in-app purchase^[來源].
• Office 365: students don't just get a discount — with an eligible school mailbox you can use the Education A1 edition for free^[來源].
• Netflix: no student price — not anywhere in the world, and Taiwan is no exception^[來源].

Student Discounts at a Glance

Spotify: Student Plan at NT$88/Month

In 2026, Spotify's Student plan in Taiwan is NT$88/month — about half the Individual plan's NT$168^{[來源][來源]}. That's the post-increase figure from the September 2025 round of price changes (raised from NT$75)^[來源].

Eligibility: you must be 18 or older and enrolled at an accredited college or university, with enrollment verified through the third-party service SheerID; the discount lasts up to 4 years, re-verified every year^[來源]. Features are identical to regular Premium — ad-free, offline downloads, on-demand playback, nothing stripped out.

For enrolled students this one is a no-brainer: just subscribe. For the full comparison of all four official tiers and other ways to save, see "5 Cheapest Ways to Get Spotify Premium in 2026".

YouTube Premium: Student Plan at NT$119/Month (but Not on iOS)

YouTube Premium's Student plan in Taiwan is NT$119/month, versus the Individual plan's NT$199 on the web^[來源], and it includes YouTube Music Premium just the same. Two key points:

1. No iOS entry point: the Student plan can't be purchased through the iPhone app. Subscribe via a desktop browser or an Android device, then use it on your iPhone as normal.
2. Verification runs through SheerID: you must be enrolled at a higher-education institution. If instant verification fails, you upload enrollment documents; users in Taiwan get an eligibility result by email within 48 hours. The discount lasts up to 4 years, re-verified at the end of each year^[來源].

One more thing: even on the regular Individual plan, skip iOS in-app purchase — the web price is NT$199 versus NT$260 via iOS in-app purchase, the same thing for NT$732 more per year^[來源].

Office 365: Not a Discount for Students — It's Free

Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) is the most generous of the four for students: students and educators with an eligible school email address get the Education edition, Office 365 A1, for free — web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, plus Teams and a cloud mailbox^[來源]. Most colleges, universities, and primary and secondary schools in Taiwan are within scope; just sign up with your school mailbox.

Two limitations, stated honestly: A1 is primarily web-based — the full desktop apps depend on whether your school has purchased a higher-tier license — and eligibility is tied to your school mailbox, so it lapses after graduation once the mailbox is deactivated. If you need the full desktop apps and have no education eligibility, the official Personal plan is NT$309/month (approx. NT$258/month on annual billing)^[來源].

Netflix: No Student Price — That's the Official Reality

Straight to the conclusion: Netflix has no student plan. The official plans page lists only three tiers — Basic NT$290, Standard NT$380, Premium NT$460^[來源] — and Netflix offers no discounts on student verification platforms like UNiDAYS or Student Beans^[來源]. Pages online titled "Netflix student promo code" all funnel you toward something else — there is no official student price, and a student ID gets you nothing with Netflix.

For students who want to save on Netflix, there are three legitimate routes:

1. Split a family plan with household members: the Premium tier at NT$460^[來源] split 4 ways comes to about NT$115 each — entirely within the official design.
2. The official "Extra Member" add-on: available on Standard and Premium plans at NT$100 per member per month, with their own login and password^[來源].
3. A full-price platform plan: most platforms on the market only offer shared plan slots; PremLogin additionally offers a full-price dedicated account (one account per person — by design, household device verification simply never comes up) at about US$7.49/month (approx. NT$240)^[來源].

How Student Verification Actually Works

Spotify and YouTube both outsource student verification to SheerID, and the flow is largely the same:

1. Pick the student plan on the subscription page; you're redirected to the SheerID verification page.
2. Fill in your school and personal details — verifying with your school email address works best, and most people pass at this step.
3. If you don't pass instantly, upload documents such as a student ID or proof of enrollment and wait for review (YouTube replies to users outside the US within 48 hours)^[來源].
4. Re-verify once a year, up to 4 years; if you graduate, take leave, or fail verification, the plan automatically reverts to the regular price.

An honest reminder: using someone else's enrollment or falsified documents to pass verification violates the terms of service — if caught, the plan gets cancelled and the money you paid isn't coming back. Not worth it. No student status? Read the next section.

No Student Status (or Already Graduated)?

The day you graduate, NT$88 becomes NT$168^[來源], NT$119 becomes NT$199^[來源], and the education mailbox gets deactivated too. Without student status, the three legitimate ways to save are: split a family plan with household members, switch to annual billing, or use a full-price subscription platform. PremLogin's plans are not official student plans and have nothing to do with student status — they're simply another route, laid out side by side for comparison:

Two real downsides, disclosed as always: 1) slots are limited in quantity — availability is whatever the product page shows live; 2) as the table makes clear, when you do have student status, YouTube's official student plan is cheaper than ours and Office's Education edition is outright free — take the official route for those two first. Refund rules are public and checkable: prorated by the number of days used, with the full policy on the refund policy page.

Bottom Line: Students and Non-Students Take Different Roads

• Enrolled students: take Spotify's Student plan at NT$88^[來源], subscribe to YouTube's Student plan on the web at NT$119^[來源], and claim the free Office A1 with your school mailbox — all three official routes are the best answer.
• Netflix: student status gets you nothing — split with household members, add an Extra Member, or look at a full-price dedicated account.
• No student status / graduated: official regular price, a household family plan split, or a PremLogin full-price plan — pick your row from the comparison table above.
