Referral Rewards and Credits in Velveteen
Updated August 27, 2026
Your friend gets their first month free on any plan. After their first successful paid invoice, you earn a credit matching their plan's monthly price, applied automatically to your next bill. The reward is account credit, not a cash payout.
The two rewards are separate: a free first month for your friend, and a subscription credit for you.
What each side gets
Your friend
First month free when they subscribe to any plan with your link.
You
A credit matching their plan's monthly price, applied to your next bill.
How your credit is sized
The credit equals the monthly price snapshot from the plan your friend selected at checkout, so a friend on a higher plan earns you a larger credit.
For reference, that is about $1.99 for Artist, $4.99 for Pro, and $14.99 for Label, matching each plan's monthly price.
