No prior programme participation; direct Qdrant billing and card details are required, and marketplaces are excluded. Reapply after rejection only after two months.
Curator note
What we found at the source
Rechecked 2026-10-11: 20% Cloud discount for 12 months, under five years and less than $5M funding, pre-seed through Series A, direct billing and a card. Existing users may apply only if the cloud account was created within the last 30 days; the previous public label omitted that limit. No previous programme participation, website-form submission and a two-month wait after rejection remain explicit.
Caveat
Before you rely on it
A 20% discount reduces paid Cloud usage; it is not a free-credit award. Account age, no prior participation, stage/funding, website and direct billing conditions matter.
