The Upcoming Sunset of DataSpell | The DataSpell Blog

JetBrains has announced the decision to discontinue DataSpell as a standalone product, consolidating its data science and analytics functionalities into PyCharm to create a more unified ecosystem for users. This strategic move aims to streamline user experience and enhance the value offered through PyCharm by integrating features such as Jupyter notebooks and Python data analysis workflows. Starting September 1, 2026, existing DataSpell users will transition to PyCharm at no additional cost, with eligible users receiving JetBrains AI Credits matching their remaining subscription period. The transition will be phased, with DataSpell being deprecated on May 28, 2026, and automatic conversion of licenses to PyCharm Pro occurring in September. JetBrains assures continued support for data workflows within its ecosystem, while thanking the DataSpell community for their contributions and offering assistance to ease the transition process.
