Big News for .NET and Game Devs: Rider Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use

Alexandra Kolesova

On October 24, we held a special livestream to reveal exciting news about JetBrains Rider becoming FREE for non-commercial development. Find out more details about this licensing change in a dedicated blog post.

In making non-commercial development free, we aim to make Rider more accessible to a broader audience, helping you learn, grow, and stay creative. You can use Rider to contribute to open source, learn through self-education or courses, record educational podcasts, or grow your pet project.

We would appreciate it if you could spread the word about this change! Use this handy template for X or just share this blog post.

Watch the recording of our livestream to discover many reasons to use Rider: from smart C# and F# support with navigation, code completion, inspections, and quick fixes, to comprehensive database tooling. Rider also features enterprise-level .NET support for technologies like Aspire, Docker, Blazor, Entity Framework Core, Hot Reload, and publishing to Azure and AWS. In addition to that, our Developer Advocates demonstrated why Rider is the ultimate IDE for game development, offering robust support for Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, with engine-specific inspections and integrations, including the ability to index Unity assets and Unreal Engine blueprints.
