Offers
Camber Student plan via GitHub Student Developer Pack (monthly free compute) high confidence
Free Camber Student plan while enrolled: 40 CPU hours/month, 5 GPU hours/month, 50 GB storage, 50 agent messages/month. Runs on Camber's agentic AI data-science platform (connect Postgres/Trino/S3, build agents, run from Cursor or Claude Code via Camber MCP server). Verified verbatim on the official pack page today ([education.github.com/pack](https://education.github.com/pack)) and in the [SDP changelog](https://github.com/github-education-resources/Student-Developer-Pack-Current-Partners-FAQ/blob/main/SDP-changelog.md) entry of 2026-08-20. Claim: (1) verify in GitHub Education (school-issued email and/or dated proof of enrollment, 13+, enrolled in a degree/diploma program); (2) open [Camber's student pack page](https://www.cambercloud.com/github-student-pack); (3) click 'Sign-up with GitHub' (→ app.cambercloud.com/login/github) using the GitHub account that holds the verified pack; (4) confirm the Student plan quotas in the dashboard. Camber's own page repeats the offer but not the numbers — the numbers come from GitHub's pack page.
Eligibility
Students with an active, verified GitHub Student Developer Pack (school .edu email or official dated enrollment proof; GitHub age 13+). Global; no region limit stated. No credit card required to claim (third-party trackers confirm '$0 / none required'; free while enrolled).
How to claim
Verify GitHub Student Developer Pack → visit cambercloud.com/github-student-pack → 'Sign-up with GitHub' with the verified account → Student plan activates with the monthly quotas.
Expiry
Free only 'while you're enrolled'; lapses when GitHub Student status ends (GitHub re-verifies at enrollment boundaries; benefits drop off afterward and paying for the platform is optional). Monthly quotas reset each month.
Gotchas
No GPU on the public free tier — the 5 GPU hours are exclusive to the pack student plan. Quotas were reduced in the 2026-08-20 update (older third-party listings cite up to 200 CPU hours — those no longer apply). 50 agent messages/month is a hard cap on the Nova AI agent. The plan is genuinely free (not a trial) for the whole enrollment period, no card on file.
Camber public Free plan ($0, no credit card) high confidence
Public 'Free' plan at $0: 25 GB storage, community Slack support, AI and CPU usage included, NO GPU access. 'No credit card required.' Claim: 'Get started for free' / 'Try it Free' → app.cambercloud.com/login — open to anyone (not limited to students or startups). Read from the official [Camber pricing page](https://www.cambercloud.com/pricing) today.
Eligibility
Everyone, no enrollment or startup status required. Global. No credit card.
How to claim
Sign up at app.cambercloud.com/login via the Free 'Get started' button.
Expiry
Ongoing free tier; no expiry stated.
Gotchas
No GPU at all on this tier — if the goal is free GPU hours, only the student pack offer qualifies. 25 GB storage cap; GPU and heavy AI usage require a paid plan.
Camber Pro / Teams 14-day free trials high confidence
Pro ($20/mo monthly; $18/mo annual billed $216/yr, 10% off) and Teams ($50/seat/mo; $45/seat/mo annual billed $540/seat) each come with a 14-day free trial. Trial requires a credit card, which 'will be billed at end of 14-day trial'. Pro/Teams include up to 4× L4 GPUs (Teams adds 200 GB storage, up to 4× L4s, 'generous' AI/CPU/GPU, 24h support). Enterprise is custom-priced (BYOC, BYOK, SSO; contact info@cambercloud.com).
Eligibility
Anyone; card required; trial is time-boxed, not free forever. No student/startup-restricted trial found.
How to claim
'Start your 14-day free trial' → app.cambercloud.com/login (from the pricing page).
Expiry
14 days from trial start; card auto-billed at trial end unless cancelled.
Gotchas
This is trial-vs-free: credit card mandatory and you will be charged at day 14 unless you cancel. L4 GPUs, not H100-class — budget for small inference/finetuning workloads.
Startup program / education license (separate from SDP) medium confidence
As of 2026-10-22 no Camber startup program, startup credits, or standalone education license exists — the only student pathway is the GitHub Student Developer Pack offer above; there is no funding-cap or company-age criterion because there is no such program. (WebSearch budget for this session was exhausted before I could do a dedicated 2025-2026 startup-program search, so a brand-new 'Camber for Startups' launched in the last days cannot be fully ruled out; official pricing page, student-pack page and docs site show none today.)

If Camber launches a startup program later it will likely be via Contact Sales (info@cambercloud.com).
