About Secret
Secret (joinsecret.com) is one of the largest startup perk marketplaces, with 500+ software deals and unusually deep vendor partnerships, which is where its best exclusive discounts come from. It runs a freemium model: a free tier surfaces many deals, and premium tiers unlock the largest exclusive savings.
The breadth and partnership depth are the draw. The trade-offs are that the top deals are paywalled and that eligibility detail per deal is thin, so you can spend time on an offer you don't qualify for. Treat Secret as a deal-discovery layer: find the offer here, then verify the current terms and your eligibility on the vendor's own page before committing.

How to use Secret well
- Start on the free tier and only upgrade if a specific paywalled deal clears the premium cost on its own.
- Eligibility detail is thin here, so confirm you qualify on the vendor page before you build a plan around a deal.
- Use Secret to discover offers, then check whether the vendor's direct startup program matches or beats the Secret price.
