I’d like to share some feedback about the referral program.
I don’t have an issue with referral credits requiring a Pro subscription. If that’s the policy, that’s perfectly fine.
My concern is that this requirement wasn’t made clear when I participated in the referral program. The messaging around earning “$5 per referral” gave me the impression that the credits would be available once they were earned. I only discovered that a paid Pro subscription was required when I attempted to use my referral credits.
I spent time referring users and earned $35 in referral credits, only to find out afterwards that I first needed to pay for a Pro subscription before those credits could be used.
I believe this requirement should be displayed much more prominently during the referral process—not hidden in documentation or terms that many users may never read. A simple notice such as:
“Referral credits can only be used after upgrading to the Pro plan.”
would have set the correct expectation from the beginning.
This isn’t a request to change the policy. It’s simply feedback about improving transparency so users can make informed decisions before investing their time referring others.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
