Refer a friend, use it for free

Every Review Monitor customer gets a personal referral link. If a friend signs up through it and pays, you use the same plan free for as long as they stay subscribed. No cash payouts, no paperwork — just free access while they stay.

Refer & Earn is for regular customers

This is the built-in perk for anyone using Review Monitor — refer a friend or two, get your own plan free. If you have an audience (newsletter, YouTube channel, agency book, community) and want up to 50% cash on the first payment instead, check the Affiliate Program — that one pays in real money.

How it works

Three steps to free access

Your referral link lives inside your customer dashboard — sign in, copy, share.

1. Grab your link

Open the Refer & Earn tab in your dashboard, copy your personal link, and send it to a friend, colleague, or fellow business owner who deals with online reviews.

2. Friend signs up + pays

They click your link, sign up, and pick any paid plan. Their first month is auto-discounted 20% — nice welcome, and it helps them say yes.

3. You use their plan free

From the moment their first paid month starts, your own account is credited free for the same plan tier they're on — for every month they stay subscribed.

A concrete example

What "free while they stay" really means

You're on Starter. Your friend signs up for Pro. Here's what happens.

  1. 1Your friend pays for Pro ($19/mo) through your link — their first month is 20% off.
  2. 2Your own account is upgraded to Pro for free for as long as they stay subscribed. You don't get charged the $19.
  3. 3Refer two paying friends and even a Business ($39/mo) plan becomes free on your side — as long as at least one active paid referral matches or exceeds your tier.
  4. 4Friend cancels? Your free perk ends the next billing cycle — no clawback for any month you already enjoyed free.
Why customers like it

Zero cash, zero hassle

No PayPal, no tax forms, no minimum payout. It's just free product for helping a friend.

Auto-applied credit

No coupon codes, no support ticket. Your plan turns free automatically the moment your friend's first paid month starts.

Your friend wins too

They get 20% off their first month — an actual reason to say yes. Both sides come out ahead.

Stackable

Refer more than one paying friend and your free access covers whichever of their plan tiers is highest.

60-day attribution

If your friend takes a few weeks to decide, you're still credited — the attribution window is 60 days from their first click.

FAQ

Refer & Earn questions, answered

  • Refer & Earn is for regular customers — the reward is a free plan while your friend stays subscribed, no cash. The Affiliate Program is for creators, agencies, and influencers with an audience — the reward is up to 50% cash commission on your referral's first payment, withdrawable to PayPal or your bank. If you're referring a friend or two, use this. If you're promoting to an audience, use the Affiliate Program.

  • Sign in and open the Refer & Earn tab in your customer dashboard. Your personal link is at the top — copy it and share.

  • No — this program pays in free access, not money. If you want cash payouts, apply to the Affiliate Program instead.

  • You keep free access at your friend's tier. If you're on Business but they subscribe to Starter, your free credit covers Starter only. Refer one more friend on Pro or Business to level up.

  • Your free access follows their current tier automatically. If they upgrade Starter → Pro, so does your free credit.

  • No. Refer as many as you like — every active paid referral counts toward keeping your plan free.

  • No. Self-referrals are auto-detected and rejected. Refer real third-party customers.

  • You need to be signed in to have a referral link, but you don't need a paid plan. If someone signs up through your link and starts paying, your account is granted the same paid plan free right away.

Refer a friend, use it free

Sign in, grab your referral link, and send it to one person who cares about their reviews. If they subscribe, you're on the same plan free — for as long as they stay.
