Keep the cost down without a program
Vendors often drop startup offers once they move upmarket to enterprise buyers. These still work for an early team.
- Use credits from Modal, Together AI or Fireworks in this directory for model inference.
- Use credits from AWS Activate, Google for Startups or Microsoft for Startups for GPU workloads.
- Pick smaller or quantized models for production traffic to cut per-second GPU cost.
- Cache repeated outputs so identical requests are not billed twice.
- Ask Replicate sales for volume terms once your monthly spend is predictable.
About
Replicate does not publish a startup program. replicate.com/startups returns a 404, and the pricing page lists standard per-second compute billing with no startup credits, discount, or application path.
This entry also had a structural defect independent of the program's status: its application URL and its only official source both pointed at the bare homepage, which is not an application path. Even if a program existed, the entry could not have routed anyone to it.
For model hosting and inference credits with published terms, see the alternatives below.
Frequently asked about Replicate Startup Credits
Is Replicate Startup Credits still available?
replicate.com/startups returns a 404 and Replicate's pricing page lists only standard per-second billing with no startup credits or application path. Checked September 13, 2026.
What should startups use instead of Replicate Startup Credits?
The closest live options are modal-startups, together-ai-startups, fireworks-startups. Each one is listed with its current terms and application link on this page.
Why is this page still published if the program ended?
Because founders still search for it. Removing the page would send them to third-party sites that are still republishing the old terms as if they were current. Keeping it, with the offer stripped out, is the only way to correct the record at the place people actually look.
How can I tell whether a startup credit program is still live?
Open the provider's own startup or partner page and look for a working application form with stated eligibility and credit amounts. Aggregator sites routinely keep listings up for years after a program ends, so a deal roundup is not evidence that the program exists.
