JetBrains All Products Pack: Price, Per-Product Alternative, Year-Two Curve

JetBrains sells one subscription per product and one subscription for everything, and the price difference between them is smaller than most developers assume. The All Products Pack is 2,500 CNY for the first year of a personal annual subscription, then 2,000 CNY in year two and 1,500 CNY from year three. A single IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate subscription is 1,650 CNY, 1,320 and 990 over the same three years. The pack costs 1.52 times one IDE in year one (calculated 2026-10-25), which sounds like a lot until you price two products, and the year-three figures reverse the intuition entirely.

One note before the numbers: the JetBrains store quotes prices for the country it geolocates. The store data captured for this page was set to China Mainland, so every figure below is in CNY, at the personal or commercial rate the page lists. The percentage curve is currency-independent; the absolute numbers are not.

When the pack beats separate subscriptions

Totals are sums of the published first-year prices (calculated 2026-10-25).

What the numbers actually mean

The pack only wins at three products. Two subscriptions, IDEA Ultimate at 1,650 plus WebStorm at 650, come to 2,300 CNY against 2,500 CNY, and the gap does not close with tenure: year two is 1,840 against 2,000 and year three is 1,380 against 1,500 (calculated 2026-10-25). The reason is that the pack applies the same 0/20/40 curve to a larger base, so its discount saves more currency but never changes the ordering.

Add one more IDE and the ordering flips. IDEA Ultimate, WebStorm and PhpStorm total 3,190 CNY in year one against 2,500 for the pack, and the pack keeps winning in later years (calculated 2026-10-25). Anyone who uses three JetBrains tools, even occasionally, is paying a premium for buying them separately, which is exactly what the pack is priced to capture.

The curve itself is the more interesting figure. Personal annual prices step 0%, 20%, 40% across the three years, so a pack subscription costs 60% of list by year three: 1,500 CNY against 2,500 (calculated 2026-10-25). Cancelling and restarting resets the clock to full price, which makes the discount a loyalty asset rather than a discount anyone can re-earn.

Commercial rates run on a different ladder, without the visible multi-year step on the store page: the All Products Pack is 8,080 CNY per year, or 673.33 CNY per month averaged, and 808 CNY on monthly billing, while commercial IDEA Ultimate alone is 5,930 CNY per year (calculated 2026-10-25). The pack is 1.36 times a single commercial IDE, a narrower multiple than the personal ratio.

How we measured it

Figures come from the JetBrains store page fetched on 2026-10-25, whose embedded product data lists, for each subscription, the yearly price for year one, two and three with the matching percentage off, plus the monthly billing rate. No license was purchased, no trial was run and no tool was benchmarked. Basket totals, ratios and per-month averages are arithmetic on those published prices and are marked calculated.

What changes in practice

Count the tools before buying. Two JetBrains products, even two expensive ones, are cheaper bought separately in every year of the curve; the pack becomes the rational purchase at the third product or when the team expects to add one.

Do not cancel to re-shop. The 40% year-three rate on the personal pack is worth 1,000 CNY a year against list, and a lapsed subscription restarts at 2,500 CNY (calculated 2026-10-25). The cheapest path is continuous renewal, not an annual comparison shop.

Budget the third year, not the first. A three-year pack commitment costs 6,000 CNY in total at the published rates, an average of 2,000 CNY a year (calculated 2026-10-25), so a first-year budget of 2,500 overstates the steady-state cost and understates the lock-in.

Bottom line

At 2,500 CNY for year one and 1,500 CNY from year three, the All Products Pack is worth it once you would otherwise buy three subscriptions; at two, separate licenses save 200 CNY in year one and 120 CNY in year three (calculated 2026-10-25). Everyone else should buy the one IDE they actually use and let the discount curve run.
