What you'll
actually
get
Credits are the headline, but the program comes with perks from partners we use ourselves. Here's the full haul:
$50,000 of PostHog
That's a lot of events, replays, API calls, and survey responses.
Exclusive founder swag
You can never have too many laptop stickers or free PostHog t-shirts.
$1,500 off Incident.io
Incidents happen. Get $1,500 off a teams plan when they do.

Blazing-fast container builds and remote caching, trusted by us.
How PostHog helps you
build better products
Building products used to mean manually writing code, running analysis, diagnosing bugs, and rolling out changes across a bloated stack of tools. PostHog keeps all of that context in one platform and gives your agents what they need to diagnose problems, uncover opportunities, and ship fixes.
Centralize your context
Query third-party sources and your product data together in one warehouse – no more copy-pasting into a chat window.
Deploy an army of AI scouts
Scouts watch your product around the clock and deliver triaged reports to your PostHog inbox, so you can one-click fix.
Chat with the best AI agent
Figure out what users are actually doing, with context across your product, support, billing, and CRM.
Ship fixes collaboratively
The PostHog Slack agent drafts pull requests for you while you're still sharing memes.
How far does
$50,000
go?
A
very
long way. Here's what your credits are worth if you spent them all in one place, but you can mix and match them across most PostHog products. The exceptions are AI tools such as PostHog Desktop, the PostHog Slack app, Replay Vision, PostHog AI, and Inbox, which credits can't be used for. Otherwise we're not fussy. We just want you to spend the money.
950 million
events (yes, nearly a billion)
6 million+
session recordings
840 million+
LLM analytics events
396 million
error tracking events
Everything you (and our agents)
can use

their
word for it
"Building is never just one-and-done. You always need to find ways to improve.

It helps us try ideas, measure results and make better products."
Cat Li
– Product & Engineering Lead, Y Combinator

FAQ
Can I use my credits on all PostHog products?
Almost all of them. From September 14, 2026, startup credits can no longer be used towards bills incurred on AI tools such as PostHog Desktop, the PostHog Slack app, Replay Vision, PostHog AI, and Inbox. This is due to the prohibitive and unpredictable nature of token-based pricing. Credits still cover everything else, including AI observability and the context warehouse.
Can I use credits to claim a BAA under the Boost plan?
Credits cannot be used to claim a BAA under the Boost plan due to legal risk. If you’d like to claim a BAA, you can instead
contact us to discuss options
. Credits can be used towards other aspects of the Boost package.
Why can I not use my credits on AI features?
From September 14, 2026, startup credits can no longer be used towards bills incurred on AI tools such as PostHog Desktop, the PostHog Slack app, Replay Vision, PostHog AI, and Inbox. Token-based pricing makes the cost of these tools prohibitive and unpredictable, which makes them harder for us to subsidize. If you joined PostHog for Startups before September 14, 2026, usage before this cut-off can still be paid with credits.
How do I apply?
Just sign up to a paid plan in PostHog (you're only charged for usage) and then fill in this
form
. Apply from a PostHog account that uses your company email address. We will apply the credit automatically if you're eligible. If you're accepted into the startups program, we will notify you by email.
Who's eligible?
Your company needs to be less than 2 years old and have raised less than $5m funding. You need to have signed up any time from Jan 1st 2023 onwards, and your PostHog account needs to use your company's email domain. Applications from personal email addresses, like gmail.com or outlook.com, are not accepted.
What if we don't have a company email domain yet?
You need one to apply, but you don't need credits to start. Every PostHog product has a
monthly free allowance
, so you can build on PostHog for free and apply for the program once you have a company domain.
I signed up before this deal launched, can I still get it?
Yes, but only if you signed up after Jan 1st 2023. If your startup meets the eligibility criteria but you signed up to PostHog before Jan 1st, we won't apply the credits but are still happy to enroll you in the rest of the program.
I use another tool, like Amplitude or Pendo. Can I migrate that data to PostHog?
Yes, you can migrate your data from another tool to PostHog using our
migration guides
, which cover how to migrate from tools such as Amplitude, Pendo, Plausible, Mixpanel, Heap, LaunchDarkly, Google Analytics, and more.
Do you offer onboarding help, to make sure I get everything set up correctly?
Yes. By joining the startup program, you'll already get access to our startup newsletter full of tips and tricks for getting the most out of PostHog, as well as invites to our exclusive events. If you need more help, you can
purchase a 30-minute onboarding call with our team
, or explore
custom service packages
. Please note that PostHog credit can not be used towards these services.
Can I get this deal if I'm part of YC?
We have a separate deal for YC folks –
check out Bookface
. No, they don't stack!
What if I go over the $50k limit?
At that point you can move onto
another PostHog plan
.
What happens at the end of the 12 months?
At that point you can move onto
another PostHog plan
. You'll continue to be considered part of the startup program in terms of invites to office hour events, and other perks.
How do I get the Incident.io/Speakeasy/Depot discount?
Once you're accepted into the PostHog for Startups program, we'll email you with details on how to get the partner benefits.
What level of customer support do I get? Do I get a dedicated account manager?
PostHog is run by a small team and, as such, we're only able to offer support to paying customers. Organizations which are part of our startup plan are therefore not eligible for high priority customer support, and only qualify for normal priority and community support. You also don't get a dedicated account manager, customer success manager, or sales contact. This is still the case even if you apply your credits towards a platform package, such as the enterprise add-on. If you want one-to-one help getting set up, you can
purchase a 30-minute onboarding call with our team
.
