Comparison FAQ
Common questions about choosing a startup perks platform.
Free lists cover 20–50 programs and rarely verify or update their information. Perqly verifies 200+ perks weekly, provides step-by-step claim guides, eligibility details, pro tips, and coupon codes that free lists simply do not include. Most founders recoup their subscription cost with a single claimed perk.
While other platforms offer similar aggregation, Perqly differentiates with step-by-step claim guides, weekly verification, and detailed eligibility information. Other paid platforms charge $99-720/year and may offer more listings, but quantity without verification and actionable guidance leads to wasted time on expired or inaccurate programs.
You can find some, but research shows founders miss 60–80% of available credits when searching manually. Perks are scattered across vendor websites, accelerator partner pages, and buried application forms. Perqly aggregates them in one place with verified details so you do not have to piece together information from dozens of sources.
Even a single claimed perk typically exceeds the cost of a Perqly subscription. For example, one cloud infrastructure credit can be worth $5,000-$100,000. At $8-14/month, Perqly pays for itself the moment you claim your first perk.
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. Sign up, explore the full directory, and if Perqly does not deliver value within the first week, we will refund your payment in full, no questions asked.
Most founders claim their first perk within 24 hours of signing up. Each perk listing includes step-by-step instructions and direct application links, so you can go from browsing to claiming in minutes. The ROI is typically immediate — one claimed perk covers months of subscription cost.
