Our story

We built the platform we wished existed

SaaSOffers started with one frustration: watching founders burn runway on tools they could have gotten for free.

The Story Behind SaaSOffers

In 2024, I was helping a friend launch his first startup. He had a solid product idea, a small team, and $30,000 in savings. Within three months, $4,800 of that was going to SaaS tools: AWS, Slack, Mixpanel, Notion. All at full price. All at full price.

Then an investor casually mentioned: "You know most of these have free startup programs, right?"

That one sentence changed everything. Over the next two weeks, we claimed $23,000 in startup credits from tools he was already paying for. AWS Activate gave him $5,000. Mixpanel gave him $50,000 (more than he would ever use). Notion and Slack were free for startups. His monthly SaaS bill went from $4,800 to nearly zero.

The frustrating part was not that these programs existed. It was that nobody told him. No centralized place listed them. No one verified which were still active. Eligibility requirements were scattered across dozens of vendor websites. Founders were leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table because the information was fragmented and hard to find.

SaaSOffers exists to fix that. One platform. Every startup deal. Verified, organized, and explained in plain language, so that no founder pays full price for a tool that would have been free if they had known where to look.

Our Mission

Every startup deserves access to the best tools, regardless of funding status, location, or connections. The fact that a YC-backed startup in San Francisco gets $500,000 in free credits while a bootstrapped founder in Casablanca pays full price for the same tools is not a feature of the system. It is a bug.

SaaSOffers exists to democratize access to startup deals. We aggregate every available startup program, verify eligibility requirements, and make them accessible through one platform: free deals for everyone, premium deals for $79/year. No VC required. No accelerator required. No Bay Area address required.

Our goal is simple: by the time you finish setting up your startup, your SaaS stack should cost close to zero, funded by the credit programs that SaaS companies created specifically for founders like you.

What We Do Differently

We verify every deal

Every deal on SaaSOffers is manually verified. We check eligibility requirements, confirm credit amounts, and test application links. No dead links, no expired offers, no bait-and-switch. If a deal is listed, it works.

We write the content founders need

Every deal page has 1,500+ words of original content: what the tool does, who it is for, how to claim, comparison tables, and real use cases. Not marketing copy from the vendor. Honest information written for founders making stack decisions.

We charge founders, not vendors

Our business model is simple: founders pay $79/year for Premium access. We do not sell founder data to vendors, we do not charge vendors for placement, and we do not take commissions on deal claims. Our incentive is aligned with yours: better deals for founders.

What We Stand For

Transparency over marketing

Every deal shows the real credit amount, real eligibility requirements, and real limitations. We published an honest breakdown of our own Premium plan, including what we would change.

Founders first, always

Decisions are made by asking one question: does this help founders save money and build faster? If the answer is no, we do not build it.

Ship fast, improve constantly

We add new deals weekly, publish SEO-optimized guides, and improve the platform based on founder feedback. The platform you see today is better than yesterday and worse than tomorrow.

Global from day one

Built from Morocco, serving founders worldwide. Most deals on SaaSOffers are available globally. Bootstrapped founders, solo developers, and international teams are welcome.
