JetBrains said it doesn't make sense to maintain DataSpell when PyCharm already exists, so it is discontinuing DataSpell as a standalone product.

JetBrains has deprecated DataSpell as a standalone IDE and is now blocking new customers from buying licenses, though anyone currently holding an active license can keep using the tool.
DataSpell is a highly specialized IDE that JetBrains built specifically for data scientists, offering first-class Jupyter Notebook support and a comfortable environment for exploratory analysis. The tool natively handles a wide array of languages, including Python, R, SQL, and Julia, giving developers interactive tables and neat visualization tools directly inside their workspaces.
