Shopify
$1/month for your first 3 months
New stores get a 3-day free trial, then pay $1 (or £1/€1/₹20 locally) a month for 3 months on most plans. Normal pricing applies after that.
Startup credits · Global
AWS Activate
Up to $5,000 in AWS credits ($1,000 to start)
Self-funded startups founded in the last 10 years, pre-Series B, with an AWS account on a paid plan can apply directly. You start with $1,000 in credits; some get more, up to $5,000.
Startup credits · Global
Cloudflare for Startups
$10,000 in Cloudflare credits for bootstrapped startups
Bootstrapped or self-funded startups that have raised under $1M can apply for the lowest tier. Credits last a year and cover Cloudflare's developer platform; higher tiers need a partner investor.
Startup credits · Global
Google Cloud for Startups
Up to $2,000 in Google Cloud credits
For tech startups founded in the last 24 months, with a working MVP and plans to raise venture funding, that haven't had Google Cloud credits before. Credits last one year; new signups also get Google Workspace Business Plus free for 12 months.
Startup credits · Global
Microsoft for Startups
$1,000 in Azure credits to start, more over time
Any startup new to Azure can apply on the website without an investor. You get starter credits right away (Microsoft's FAQ says $1,000, then up to $5,000 after business verification), and more can unlock as usage grows.
Customer support · Global
Intercom
93% off Intercom in year one
New Intercom customers with under $10M raised and fewer than 15 employees qualify. The discount drops to 50% in year two and 25% in year three if you stay on the programme.
Customer support · Global
Zendesk
6 months of Zendesk free
Brand-new Zendesk customers under 10 years old, with no more than Series B funding and (without a partner referral) under 50 employees, can apply. The page says bootstrapped founders are welcome, but the form mentions outside funding, so approval isn't guaranteed. Longer terms need a partner.

Amplitude
First year of Amplitude free
Startups with fewer than 20 employees and under $10M raised apply from inside a free Amplitude workspace. Most are approved instantly; year two is 40% off the annual Plus plan, or you can drop to the free plan.
Operations & metrics · Global
Mixpanel
First year of Mixpanel free
Startups founded less than 5 years ago, with no more than $8M raised and never on a paid Mixpanel plan, can apply directly; no VC or accelerator needed. After the year you move to a normal plan.

Notion
3 months free on Notion Business with AI
Non-paying Notion users with under 100 employees, a business website and a company-domain email can apply directly for 3 months. Partner-backed startups get 6 months; incomplete applications get 1 month.

PostHog
$50,000 in PostHog credits for 12 months

Retool
First year of Retool free (up to $60K value)
Bootstrapped or early-stage companies with under $10M raised, founded in the last 10 years, upgrade to a monthly Team or Business plan and then apply. Accepted startups get a 100% discount for a year, then 25% off the following year.
Operations & metrics · Global
Slack
50% off Slack Pro or Business+ for 3 months
Teams that buy Pro or Business+ online within 7 days of creating their workspace get half price for 3 months. Standard pricing applies after that.
Perks and offers are run by each provider, who decides who qualifies, and their terms can change, so check the provider’s page before you sign up. Some providers also pay us a fee when you sign up. That never affects which providers we list, their order, or what Wren recommends.
