Why would you prefer your own personal subscription over a business plan?
I just checked the offering today and was confused why the personal subscription is with $10 almost half of the business plan with $19.
After some more browsing I found a page which claimed that a business plan had better privacy protection (e.g. your input is not used for training). So the business plan seems to be a tad better.
- oalders 2y agoSome people qualify for a free personal subscription.
- snotrockets 2y agoSome qualifications are based on GitHub contributions. If those are tired to the same account you use for work, you're out of luck. GitHub encouraging and enabling using the same account for work (-for-hire) and personal (or work, but owned by yourself) might've been great for growth, but it's a risk managment minefield.

- drivingmenuts 2y agoApparently, they can't. Ive done the same sort of thing with software licenses - occasionally, something is so useful that I'm willing to maintain my own subscription. The full Jetbrains suite, for one. I seem to recall Apple doing roughly the same thing with email accounts.
