Lol, Rider is paid only. And it's a subscription too!

My work pays for Visual Studio in the office and at home when I want to mess around in my free time Visual Studio Community (which has around 95% of the features of the paid versions) is free.

If I ever work for a company that uses Rider I might switch. But paying over a hundred bucks a year just for the little bit of personal use is insane.

Rider is free for Open Source projects: https://www.jetbrains.com/community/opensource/#support which should cover your personal projects.

Might also be worth asking around if your office have any JetBrains licenses. It's pretty common to have one covering the .NET suite for dotTrace etc
