About Helicone Startup Discount

Helicone is an open-source LLM observability gateway, and this is a clean, no-drama deal: 50% off your first year if you're under 2 years old and under $5M raised. Students and educators get it free outright, and open-source companies get a credit.

What you get

  • 50% off the first year of any paid plan
  • Students/educators: free
  • OSS companies: usage credit

Why it matters

If your LLM traffic already routes through one proxy for logging, caching and cost tracking, getting half off during the exact year you scale is real money — and because Helicone is open-source, the exit path (self-host) stays open.

How to claim

Apply via the contact form linked from the pricing page; mention the startup discount and your founding date/funding stage.
