Getting credits
Free cloud credits for startups: every provider compared
Most big clouds offer startups between a few thousand and $100,000 or more.
AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure all run startup programs with credits, plus support and training. Amounts are usually higher when you have an approved backer.
Smaller providers such as DigitalOcean and others also offer startup credits, generally smaller but simpler to get.
Pick the cloud that fits your product first. Credits run out; the platform choice stays.
Prices and credit amounts are estimates and may change. Check AWS for current terms.
