"How to get some not-free services for free for a startup" :)
Good to know that you can get these free credits, but perhaps the OP should also post the total costs when he runs out of free.
Normally, Stripe is not cheap: 2.7% of every transaction is no small slice. Thankfully, I was able to get $70,000 of credits for which Stripe's fees wouldn't be applied.
My AWS bill would be $200-300 a month, except it's free because I got $5,000 in credits from AWS Activate.
I like using Retool as a simple Postgres interface and to do basic data visualization. One seat would cost me $10/month, except I asked them nicely for a startup credit, so now I have it for free.
This would cost me $89.95, but Twilio (Sendgrid's parent) also has a startup program, via which I got $150/month in credits.
