Where to start
If you’re prototyping, the free tiers and signup credits need no application. Several say no card is needed, including Tavily, Firecrawl, Exa, Trigger.dev and Unstructured. The startup programs have their own funding limits. Temporal’s covers funded startups that have raised $30M or less. E2B’s is for startups that have raised less than $5M, are under 3 years old and are new to E2B. Apify’s discount is for startups that raised under USD 5M and use Apify data as a core part of the product. Mem0 says its program is valid only for new users.
