What one referral earns
Your 25% of each payment, at today’s prices.
| Plan | They pay | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | $99/mo | $24.75/mo |
| Solo | $999/yr | $249.75/yr |
| Pro | $199/mo | $49.75/mo |
| Pro | $1,999/yr | $499.75/yr |
Paid invoices only. Trials and $0 months earn nothing.
People you refer get 20% off their first 12 months, so you earn 25% of the lower price then. On Solo that’s $19.80 a month, not $24.75.
After their first 12 months, four monthly Pro referrals earn $199 a month, the price of Pro.

*An example at today’s prices, with 20% off each customer’s first 12 months, not a prediction: every customer pays for 24 months, no refunds, and each program’s reward applies to the same number of customers (their plans are priced differently). The rate and how long referrals earn can change with 30 days’ notice; see the affiliate terms.
Two ways in
Everyone else
Consultants, trainers and nonprofit networks in the US. Apply through PromoteKit, which runs our affiliate program. We can decline or remove any affiliate.
Getting paid
- Paid through Stripe. Stripe collects your SSN or EIN; we never see it.
- Each month’s commissions are paid about 30 days after that month ends.
- Payouts go out once you’re owed $20. Less than that carries over.
- Open to US residents and US businesses, 18 or older, with a US bank account.
- Connect Stripe within 180 days of each customer payment, or that commission is cancelled. If you’re owed $20 or more, we email you reminders first.
- You’re an independent contractor. 1099-NEC forms are filed through PromoteKit.
Before you apply
Can I refer my own organization?
No. You earn nothing on your own account, your own organization’s, your employer’s or your household’s.
What happens if they cancel or get a refund?
Commissions stop when they cancel. A refunded or charged-back payment reverses its commission. If we already paid it, it comes out of your future commissions, or we may ask you to repay it.
Where do I see clicks and earnings?
In your affiliate portal: clicks, signups, commissions and payouts. Customers open it from Settings → Affiliate program. A referral appears there once that person reaches checkout.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. There’s no fee, and you don’t need a Grantlas plan to apply.
Do the people I refer get a discount?
Yes. People you refer get 20% off their whole bill for their first 12 months on monthly billing, or their first yearly payment on annual, after the same 7-day free trial. It's applied at checkout with no code, so your link gives them a reason to start. It's for their first subscription; the consultant launch offer replaces it when that applies.
Who gets credit if they click two links?
The first link they used, for at least 60 days after the click.
Do I have to say I earn a commission?
Yes. US law requires it. Put a line like “I earn a commission if you subscribe” close to your link.
Can the terms change?
Yes, with at least 30 days’ notice by email. That includes the rate and how long a referral earns. Payments made before a change are paid under the old terms. Read the affiliate terms
