Referral Program

Invite indie developer friends and earn credits when they sign up - and more when they upgrade to Pro.

Every Forvibe account comes with a personal referral link. When someone signs up through your link, both of you get credits. If they later upgrade to Pro, you get a bonus on top.

Rewards

  • You get 200 credits when a friend signs up through your link
  • Your friend gets 100 bonus credits on signup (in addition to the 200 starter credits)
  • You get an additional 750 credits if that friend upgrades to Pro
  • There is no cap on how much you can earn per friend, but each account can refer at most 20 people in total

All referral credits are added to your balance just like any other credits - they never expire and they stack with monthly Pro credits.

Step-by-step

1

Open your referral page

Go to Account › Referrals. You see your personal referral link and your earnings summary (signups, Pro upgrades, credits awarded).

2

Share your link

Copy the link or use the share buttons. The link contains your user ID - whoever signs up after clicking it is attributed to you.

3

Watch credits arrive

Credits are awarded automatically when your friend verifies their email on signup. The Pro bonus is awarded when their first Pro invoice is paid.

Tips

  • The referral program works best for fellow indie developers who are about to ship an app - they will immediately find value in the tools.
  • If you share on a blog or newsletter, add a short line about what Forvibe does. Random traffic with no context converts poorly.
  • Referred users who sign up but never verify their email do not count toward your limit.

Troubleshooting

  • Friend signed up but I did not receive credits - they may have signed up without clicking your link. Attribution requires the link.
  • I referred more than 20 friends - only the first 20 earn credits. The cap exists to prevent abuse.
  • Pro bonus did not arrive - it fires on paid invoice, not on trial start. If they are on a trial that has not billed yet, wait for the first successful charge.
