$10,000 to $350,000 in credits, three tiers
Read this first
Credits expire one year after they are granted or when consumed, whichever comes first, and you only get to apply once. Applying before you have traffic spends the clock on an idle account.

What the terms actually say
The rare programme with a real tier for companies nobody has funded. Tier three is ten thousand dollars in credits with no minimum funding and no partner, which makes this one of the few large vendor offers a bootstrapped company can take. Tier two at one hundred thousand and tier one at three hundred and fifty thousand both require funding from an affiliated partner, and Cloudflare does not publish the partner list on this page. Credits last one year or until spent, whichever comes first, so the clock runs even if your traffic does not.
Who can claim it, in Cloudflare's words
Incorporated within the last ten years, funded through Series B within the last twelve months, building a technology product, with a live website and an active presence on LinkedIn, X or GitHub. First time applicants only, for profit, and a business email on your own domain. The ten thousand dollar tier waives the funding requirement.
What you get without this
Cloudflare's free plan, which is genuinely generous for CDN and DNS but excludes the paid Workers, R2 and Zero Trust capacity the credits are for.
We list a perk because it beats walking up to the vendor unannounced. If it ever stops doing that, it comes off the index.
