#13Google offers $300 in credit that you can use on anything you like for one year as soon as you sign up right off the bat, and AWS has offered the Free Tier almost since inception. For startups, Google[1], Amazon[2], Microsoft BizSpark[3], OVH Digital Launch Pad[4], Digital Ocean[5], have startup programs that you can apply to with varying amounts of service credit (usually expiring afer one year).

#14IBM's Cloudant is pretty sweet. I used it last year to dev some apps I was working on using CouchDB and PouchDB. It saved me the hassle of installing CouchDB and gave me the chance to play with their APIs which have some pretty nice additional features. https://cloudant.com They give you $50 of service a month for free, which was way more than I ever approached.

#15If you want to try screenwriting, Story Writer by Amazon is an excellent free-to-use service. Basic, yes, but after a couple years using it I can assert it does the trick.

I really want to apply to Google. But unfortunately, my startup doesn't qualify due to not being in an approved VC fund, Accelerator, or Incubator. Does anyone know of any program, that does not require me to give any equity? So that I may join and get the Google credits?

#17IBM Bluemix[0] has some good trial offerings, you can always contact them and say you're a hobbyist and they may be able to give you a longer trial. Their IoT platform is pretty cool and you have access to Watson. There is also a surprising amount of open source projects they put out[1][2]. Disclosure: I work at IBM in the Cloud Division.

#18If you have a MSDN subscription, perhaps from your employer, you get a free $50/mo -> $150/mo Azure credit. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/member-offers/msdn...
