How much can you earn as a Refract affiliate?
You earn 30% of every payment a customer you refer makes in their first 12 months. Here is what 10 customers on each plan’s monthly price earn you, at today’s prices in US dollars before tax.
For example, 10 customers on Creator monthly at $12: 10 × $12 × 30% = $36 a month, $432 over 12 months.
| Plan | Price a month | 10 customers, each month | 10 customers, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | $12 | 10 × $12 × 30% = $36 | $432 |
| Business | $29 | 10 × $29 × 30% = $87 | $1,044 |
| Agency | $59 | 10 × $59 × 30% = $177 | $2,124 |
| Agency Plus | $119 | 10 × $119 × 30% = $357 | $4,284 |
A customer on yearly billing pays once for the year, so you earn 30% of that payment: Creator billed yearly is $120, which earns you $36. Every plan and limit is on the pricing page.
