The referral program: give 50% off, get a free month

Share your Applyra link: the person you refer gets 50% off their first Unlimited month, and you get a free month once they reach their second invoice.

Video transcript

Your referral link lives on the Referrals screen, in the menu under your name. Copy it in one click, and send it to people who ship their own apps. Whoever signs up through it gets 50% off their first Unlimited month, applied at checkout, with no code to type. It has to be used before the account exists: the referral is recorded at signup. You get a credit worth one Unlimited month once they've paid for their second month. On a yearly plan, the first invoice unlocks it. The screen tracks each one: waiting for month two, reward processing, unlocked. The credit comes off your next invoice. On the free plan, it waits for your first one.

Your referral link lives on the Referrals screen, in the menu under your name at the bottom of the sidebar. Anyone who follows it and creates an account gets 50% off their first Unlimited month, and you get a credit worth one free Unlimited month once they stay past the first one. Nothing to claim, nothing to type.

The credit sits on your Applyra billing account and comes off your next invoice. You do not have to be a subscriber to earn it: if you are on the free plan when it lands, it waits there and is applied to your first invoice the day you upgrade, in the currency you end up being billed in. See billing, currencies and switching plans for how that currency is decided.

The link is your site address with your own code on the end, and copying it is one button. It has to be used before the account exists: the referral is recorded at the moment the person signs up through it. Someone who already has an Applyra account cannot be attached to your link afterwards, and you cannot refer yourself.

That is worth saying plainly because it changes how you share it. Send the link, not a recommendation to go and search for Applyra.

Why the reward waits for month two

The reward unlocks after the second paid invoice rather than the first. A referral that cancels after one month is not a referral, and paying out on signup is how referral programs turn into a farm. Someone who takes the yearly plan unlocks it on their first invoice instead, because they have already paid for twelve months up front.

The screen tracks each one for you:

  • Waiting for month two, the person signed up and is not through their second invoice yet.
  • Reward processing, they qualified and the credit is being applied.
  • Unlocked, the credit is on your account.

Above the table, three counters show the free months you have earned, the ones still pending, and the total number of people who signed up through your link.

The referrals screen in Applyra, with the personal referral link and the status of each invited account.

Who to send it to

Other people who ship their own apps. The offer is the same one that made you sign up: real ranking data on both stores without an enterprise contract, described in what Applyra is, and who it is for, and a free plan they can try first without a card, described in what each plan includes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Applyra referral program work?

You share your personal link from the Referrals screen. Anyone who signs up through it gets 50% off their first Unlimited month, and once they have paid for a second month you get a credit worth one free Unlimited month on your own account.

When do I get my referral reward?

The credit lands once the person you referred has paid two monthly invoices, so at their second month. If they took the yearly plan instead, their first invoice is enough, since they have already paid for a full year.

Can I earn referral rewards while I am on the free plan?

Yes. The credit is placed on your Applyra billing account whether or not you subscribe, and it is applied to your first invoice the day you do.

Does the referral discount work on the yearly plan?

The 50% discount applies to the monthly plan, because the yearly plan already carries two months free in its price. The referral itself is still recorded either way, so you are credited whichever one they choose.
