Not sure it's worth the time looking for free credits. Even if you get a year for free you'll end up saving maybe $500 max.<p>If you're worried about costs, look for alternatives. In the apps you've listed, only Figma is a real useful app.<p>Notion is just documents, a markdown editor and a shared drive will give you 99% of Notion you need. The rest is overengineered anyways.<p>Github free tier gets you pretty far already.<p>Slack is just chat, tons of free alternatives there.
As @d--b mentioned, look for alternatives.<p>I use Gitlab free tier (I can even use the CI/CD as I have a Linode small VPS box - US$5/month with their runner installed - no minutes from their end needed).<p>Rocket.Chat used to be a very look-a-like Slack.
For github:

As mentioned, YC Startup School has a few perks. If you get a Brex card, I believe you get some perks through them.<p>Beyond that, there are few paid options:<p>1. ProductHunt Marketplace Pro ($720 one time)<p>2. Secret (joinsecret.com) ($149 per year)<p>Not sure if the paid plans have anything the free ones don't.
not sure about those you mentioned, but yc startup deals can give you other things.<p>go to startupschool.org<p>create your company profile<p>post weekly updates for 2 to 3 months<p>apply to yc startup deals, get $5k aws credits, discounted stripe, etc.<p>apply to next yc batch.
