The Amplitude startup program, also known as the Startup Scholarship, makes your first year of Amplitude's Growth plan 100% free, with up to 100M events a month and unlimited teammates, which Amplitude values at $60,000. Year two is 40% off an annual Plus plan, or you can drop to the free 2M-events plan. It's for teams with fewer than 20 employees and under $10M raised, and you apply from inside the product after signing up.

Amplitude's Startup Plan gives small, early-stage teams its full Growth plan free for a year, with no credit card. The application is built into the product. Amplitude says most applicants are approved within hours, and you can drop to the free plan at any time without losing data.
