How Loopcast's Referral Program Works: A Free Month for You and Them

How Loopcast's Referral Program Works: A Free Month for You and Them

Key takeaways

  • Referring someone to Loopcast gets them a fully free first month of Pro — not a discount, the whole month.
  • You only get rewarded once they actually pay, not just when they sign up — so there's no incentive to spam a link at people who won't use it.
  • The reward is a real credit toward your own next bill, applied automatically.

Most referral programs promise a reward and then bury it in conditions — a small discount, a credit that expires before you can use it, or a payout that only kicks in after some minimum number of referrals. Loopcast's is deliberately simple: you send someone your link, they subscribe, you both get a month free.

What the person you refer gets

Someone who signs up through your referral link and subscribes to Pro gets their entire first month free — not a percentage off, not a trial with a card on file that quietly starts charging. It's the same Pro plan everyone else gets, at no cost for the first billing cycle. This replaces what would otherwise be a smaller, self-serve intro discount for signing up on your own — coming through a referral is simply the better deal.

What you get as the referrer

Once the person you referred actually converts to a paying subscription — not just when they create an account — you get a free month credited toward your own next bill. That's the trigger worth being precise about: referral programs that reward you the moment someone clicks a link create an incentive to blast the link everywhere regardless of whether anyone actually wants the product. Tying the reward to an actual paid conversion means the only people worth referring are people who'd genuinely get value from Loopcast — which, for what it's worth, is also just a more honest way to run a referral program.

Finding your link and tracking it

Your personal referral link lives on the Settings page once you're a subscriber yourself — there's no separate application or approval step. From there:

  1. Share the link anywhere you'd naturally mention Loopcast — a video description, a community post, a direct recommendation to someone asking how you run your channel.
  2. They sign up and subscribe through that link — the referral relationship is captured at signup and stays attached to their account permanently, even if they take a while to actually decide to subscribe.
  3. The reward lands automatically on both sides once they convert — no support ticket, no manual claim process.

Why this only works if you're already subscribed

Referring someone requires having an account capable of receiving a billing credit, which means being a paying subscriber yourself — there's no free-tier version of the referral program, since a credit toward a bill only means something if there's a bill to credit it against. If you're not subscribed yet, the referral link still works for the person you send it to (their free month isn't contingent on your plan status), you'd simply start earning your own referral rewards once you subscribe.

Frequently asked questions

Does the free month happen automatically, or do I need to enter a code?

Automatically — the referral is tied to the link itself, captured the moment someone signs up through it. There's no separate code to redeem.

What if the person I refer signs up but doesn't subscribe right away?

The referral relationship is permanent once captured at signup — it doesn't expire while they're deciding. Your reward triggers whenever they eventually convert to a paid plan, even if that's well after they first signed up.

Can I refer someone to the Creator plan instead of Pro?

The referred user's free month applies specifically to Pro — it's the plan the referral program is built around. Someone can still sign up and choose Creator on their own if that fits their needs better, just without the referral discount attached.

Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?

No — every successful referral that converts to a paying subscription earns its own free month credit, with no cap on how many you can stack up over time.
