One year free Retool (Team or Business), plus $200K in partner credits from AWS, Brex, Twilio, and others.

Retool gives early-stage startups a full year of free access to their internal tools platform—either Team or Business tier. You get the real deal: no crippled free tier, just straight-up $25–100/month value written off. The catch is you need to be pre-Series B (under $10M raised, founded in last 10 years) and actually apply. Approval takes a few weeks. The real upside is the partner bundle: AWS credits, Brex cash, Twilio, Zendesk, DigitalOcean. After year one, you drop to 25% off, which is decent but not free. Best for teams that actually need internal dashboards, data workflows, or customer-facing tools—not just looking for free software to hoard.
