Referrals
Settings has an Invite and earn tab with your referral link. When someone you invited signs up and actually starts using Clusters, you both get bonus cards added on top of the free plan's allowance. The reward is activation-gated, so a signup that never makes anything does not earn anything.
Settings → Invite and earn.
How it works
Share your referral link. When someone signs up through it and actually gets started, you both get bonus cards.
The activation gate is the important detail. The reward is not for a signup, it is for someone who used the product — which means the number in your stats reflects people who are actually there.
Bonus cards
Bonus cards raise your card limit above the free plan's 100. They stack across referrals and they do not expire.
They apply on top of your allowance, so a free account with referrals genuinely has more room rather than a temporary boost. See Cards.
Stats
The tab tracks four things:
| Stat | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Friends joined | Signed up through your link |
| Got started | Of those, how many actually used it |
| Cards earned | Bonus cards credited to you |
| Free months | Any subscription time earned |
The gap between the first two is the honest one. It is shown rather than hidden.
Sharing the link
Share targets are provided for the usual places. On mobile the system share sheet is used; on desktop, where browsers have no equivalent, pre-filled links are offered instead.
Referrals versus collaboration
Two different things:
- Inviting a collaborator to a cluster is free, unlimited, and needs no referral link. That is how you work with someone.
- A referral is inviting someone to have their own account and workspace.
Inviting a collaborator to your board does not consume or produce referral credit — it is not a growth mechanism, it is how the product works.
Frequently asked questions
When does the reward land?
When the person you invited actually gets started, not when they sign up. A dormant signup earns nothing for either of you.
What do bonus cards do?
They raise your card limit above the free plan's 100. They stack, and they do not expire.
Where do I see how it is going?
Settings, under Invite and earn — friends joined, how many got started, cards earned, free months.
