perkstack
Signup → active credits in under a week

One membership.
Every AI tool’s free credits.

Perkstack is the shortcut between your startup and the credit programs it already qualifies for. Here’s the whole process, start to finish.

§ 01 · the process

step 01

Pick the perks that fit your stack

Browse 220+ verified credits, startup programs, and partner deals. Filter by category and stage, sort by value, and check the Approval Index to see how likely a typical startup is to get in.

Every listing shows the real conditions and the date we last confirmed it works.

step 02

Apply with the claim guide open

Each perk has a step-by-step guide: where to apply, what the reviewer looks for, the exact wording that gets approvals, and the gotchas that get applications binned.

Most applications take under 5 minutes. You'll typically need your startup's name, a live URL, and a sentence or two on how you'll use the credits.

step 03

Credits land in your account

Providers approve most applications within 1–2 days, and credits activate directly in your provider workspace — no codes to copy, nothing to configure.

From signup to active credits, most founders are done inside a week.

§ 02 · what you’ll need

If you can describe your startup, you’re ready.

  • 01Your startup's name
  • 02A live URL a partner can visit to verify you're real
  • 03One or two sentences on how you'll use the credits
  • 045 minutes per application — most are shorter

§ 03 · the member edge

Anyone can find a form. Members get approved.

Insider claim guides

Not the public docs — the wording, timing, and reviewer expectations that actually move approval rates, kept current perk by perk.

Approval Index on every perk

We rate how likely a typical eligible startup is to get each perk, so you spend your time on applications that pay off.

Re-verified weekly

Dead links and paused programs get marked the week they change. If it's listed as active, you can claim it today.

30 Day Money Back Guarantee

Charged but locked out, a malfunction we couldn't fix, or a billing error? Verified issues on our side are refunded in full within 30 days — contacting us is always faster than a bank dispute.

§ 05 · questions

Before you ask — probably this.

01How long until I actually have credits?
Most partners approve within 1–2 days, and nearly all founders have their first credits active inside a week. Free-tier and signup-credit perks are instant — you can claim several the same afternoon you join.
02Do I pay each provider separately?
No. One Perkstack membership unlocks the whole catalog — every apply link and every claim guide across 220+ tools. The perks themselves are free programs run by the providers; you never pay us per perk.
03What if a provider rejects my application?
It happens — that's why every perk shows an Approval Index before you invest time. The guides exist to maximize your odds, and with 220+ programs there's almost always an equivalent perk from another provider to try next.
04Do I need to be a venture-backed startup?
No. The catalog spans signup credits and free tiers (anyone), student packs, and startup programs with stage requirements. Every listing states its real eligibility conditions up front.
05What exactly does membership unlock?
The full catalog with every apply link, every step-by-step claim guide, real eligibility conditions, and Approval Index explanations — plus new perks and re-verifications weekly. The price rankings and blog stay free.
