Showing all 19 programs. Last updated August 2026.
Credit for Startups lists 19 developer tool credits programs, including Cloudflare, Microsoft, DigitalOcean, Datadog, worth up to $250,000. Browse the list to compare value, eligibility, and how to apply.
Not always. Some programs are open to bootstrapped founders; others require a VC or accelerator referral. Each listing shows its referral requirement and application difficulty — or use the Get Matched tool to filter to programs that fit your startup.
Pick a program, review its eligibility and step-by-step "how to apply" on its page, then apply directly through the provider. It's free to apply, and we're an independent directory — not affiliated with the programs listed.
Every founder's stack pulls from more than one bucket — keep browsing.
Application-based startup programs from cloud and AI sponsors — bundles of credits, support, and partner introductions.
Cohort-based accelerators and incubators — Y Combinator, Techstars, Antler and the rest. Most provide cash for equity plus mentorship and a demo day.
Discounts and free tiers on the tools every startup uses — banking, legal, productivity, hiring, sales, marketing.
