Referrals

Bring someone to Claudin.io and you both get $5.

How it works

1. Subscribe to any paid plan.
2. Copy your referral link from Billing → Refer a friend in the dashboard.
3. Your friend signs up through it and pays.
4. They save $5 on that first purchase, and you get $5 in credits.

What each side gets

Your friend	$5 off their first plan, or off a credit purchase of $10 or more
You	$5 in account credits, added when their payment goes through

Credits behave exactly like purchased credits: they cover usage above your hourly ceiling, at real cost. They are not cash and are not refundable or transferable.

Who can take part

A referral link requires an active paid plan

Your link only exists — and only earns — while you're on a paid plan. If you cancel, your existing link stops earning; resubscribe and it works again.

Your friend has to be a genuinely new customer: someone who has never paid us before. One reward per referred person, ever.

What doesn't count

• Referring yourself. A second account of your own is still you, whatever address it's registered to.
• Someone who has already paid us. The discount is for first purchases.
• Credit purchases under $10. Plans always qualify.
• A link from an account with no active plan. Nothing is applied at checkout, and no reward is paid.

We may withhold or reverse rewards that come from accounts under common control, and the plan requirement exists precisely so that self-referral costs more than it pays.

If the discount doesn't show up

Your dashboard tells you before you pay: the "$5 referral discount will be applied at checkout" banner appears only when the referral is actually valid for you. If you don't see it, the link won't discount anything — the usual reasons are the ones listed above.

Referral links are last-touch: visiting a second one replaces the first.
