About Retool for Startups
What you get
Retool for Startups gives a 100% off coupon for one year, worth up to $60,000, on any monthly Team or Business plan. After the free year you get 25% off your paid plan for the following year. Retool is used to build internal tools, admin panels and dashboards on top of your database and APIs.
Who qualifies
- Bootstrapped, angel-funded, debt-funded, pre-seed, seed or Series A startups.
- Raised less than $10 million in total.
- Founded within the last 10 years.
- A new customer on the monthly Team or Business plan. Customers that have already been on a paid plan for several billing cycles are not eligible.
Good to know
- To claim it, you first upgrade to the monthly plan you want, then apply. The discount applies to your first invoice at the end of the first billing cycle.
- The offer cannot be combined with other sales discounts and cannot be moved to another cloud account or a self-hosted deployment.
- VCs and accelerators can add Retool to their deal books through Retool's startups team.
Verdict
One of the more generous and open perks: no partner needed and a wide eligibility window. Good if you need internal tools early and want to avoid building admin screens by hand. Because you must already be on a paid monthly plan, start on the plan you actually need, apply straight away, and check that the coupon appears on your first invoice. It suits small teams well.
How to apply
- Sign up for Retool and upgrade to the monthly Team or Business plan.
- Submit the Retool for Startups application.
- Wait for the confirmation email.
- The 100% discount is applied to your first invoice at the end of the first billing cycle.
