  • Render: Startup credits from $500; selected AI teams up to $100,000

    Render publishes several one-year tiers: Founder $500, partner Build $2,500 or $5,000, Scale $10,000 or $25,000, and AI up to $100,000. The high tiers require qualifying investor relationships and funding; they are not the standard self-service allowance. Excess usage is billed normally.

    Eligibility
    Founder tier: under four years old, under $50M raised and at least $25,000 seed funding. Partner tiers have separate investor requirements; the AI tier requires at least $2.5M from a qualifying VC. Apply for the tier your company meets.
