Which should you pick?

Svix offers the larger headline amount ($12,000 in credits over 12 months ($1,000/month); $50,000 for the current YC batch versus $6,000 in Temporal Cloud credits for 1 year (Business plan)). Temporal accepts a wider range of funding stages, while Svix is more targeted. If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
