Do you use perks for startups for tech products and tools?

Do you use so-called Perks for startups? I.e. special discounts, promo codes, free stuff and deals that are offered by tech products & tools that want to capture more startups to use them? For example AWS credits, Hubspot for startups discount, etc.
My question is: what tools or products do you need for your startup, but can't find a perk offer instead of paying the full standard price? If you could decide what company should give you a promo code, which one it would be?

We use a lot of perks for DL3ARN but it would be nice to get one for hotjar!

While I think it's a nice extra, after the sale, it's nothing that I have ever based my decision on re whether to use a product or not.
With that said, I'm not everyone, and generally it is a very good sales tactic that works great. I would look for credits for tools/platforms that either directly or indirectly support your own product so that using those tools, makes it more likely that the user continues using your product.
e.g. lets say you have some paid plugin for Google Apps, a very relevant perk would be some Google Apps credits.
