JetBrains is Sunsetting DataSpell

June 4, 2026
Effective 28-May-2026, DataSpell is no longer available as a standalone product.

DataSpell was created by JetBrains to focus on the needs of data science and analytics professionals within the JetBrains ecosystem. It provided a dedicated experience for working with Jupyter notebooks, data exploration, and analytical workflows. These improvements have been successfully integrated into PyCharm, where they can benefit a much broader audience. As such, DataSpell is no longer available for purchase effective 28-May-2026

Starting from 1-Sep-2026, JetBrains will help existing DataSpell users transition to PyCharm. To make this transition as smooth as possible, eligible DataSpell customers will be able to transition to PyCharm at no additional cost. Current DataSpell users also maintain access through a fallback license.

This transition will happen in stages:

  • May 28, 2026: DataSpell will be deprecated as a standalone product, meaning it will no longer be possible to purchase new DataSpell subscriptions. Existing licenses will continue to work.
  • September 1, 2026: Eligible DataSpell subscriptions will be converted to PyCharm Pro subscriptions. Eligible customers will receive JetBrains AI Credits matching the value of their remaining DataSpell subscription period.
