About

Retool’s Startup Program provides a comprehensive package for early-stage startups by offering a 100% off coupon for one year on monthly Team or Business plans. Eligible startups—those bootstrapped, angel-funded, debt-funded, pre-seed, seed, or Series A with less than $10M raised and founded within the last 10 years—must upgrade their plan and apply. Upon approval, the discount is automatically applied to the first invoice. In addition to free access, participants gain access to significant partner deals including credits and discounts from AWS, Brex, Twilio Segment, Zendesk, and DigitalOcean. After the free period, a 25% discount is offered for continued access.
