Startup Programs (2026): 74 Free Credits, Perks & Grants for Startups
Every programme that gives startups free credits, perks or grants: AI and cloud credits, developer tools, SaaS discounts and government grants, with what you get, who qualifies and how to apply.
Filter by the step you are on and by who you are (bootstrapped, student, solo founder, AI startup); sort by value to see the biggest credits first. Programs marked "partner code" need an accelerator, VC or partner to unlock their top tier.
