Referral program

Give a month.
Get a month.

You know someone juggling multiple custodians, an entity or two, and a spreadsheet that gave up. Invite them to Formation — when they subscribe, you each get a month of the membership credited. Automatically, every time.

Members: your link is on your Profile page · referral terms

How it works

01

Share your link

Your personal invite link lives on your Profile page — copy it, text it, email it, or post it to X or LinkedIn in one tap.

02

Your friend joins

They sign up through your link and start the 7-day free trial — the full dashboard, every account and entity, from day one.

03

You both get a month

After their first payment, a $17.99 credit — one month of the membership — lands on both accounts automatically. No codes to redeem, nothing to claim.

What a referral is worth

A month for you. A month for them.

$17.99

credited to you

$17.99

credited to your friend

friends you can invite

One month of the current monthly membership per conversion, both sides, applied as account credit after your friend's first payment — and if they go annual, it doubles to two months each. Invite five friends in a year — that's five months of Formation on the house.

Who to invite

Formation is built for self-directed households with real structural complexity. Your best invite is the friend with:

  • Accounts at three custodians and a spreadsheet trying to hold it together
  • A trust, an LLC, or rental property that no consumer budgeting app can model
  • RSUs or options vesting on a schedule they track by hand
  • A CPA who asks for the same documents every March

Questions, answered

Where do I find my invite link?

Sign in and open your Profile page (avatar menu → Profile). The "Give a month, get a month" card holds your link, share buttons, and live stats — invited, joined, subscribed.

When do we get the credit?

Right after your friend's first successful payment — that's the end of their 7-day trial on monthly billing, or checkout on annual. Both credits apply automatically to each account's balance and offset the next invoice.

How much is the credit?

One month of the current monthly membership price — $17.99 today (the founding rate). If your friend starts on the annual plan, the credit doubles — two months for each of you. It applies as account credit on your next invoice, whether you bill monthly or annually.

What if I refer friends before subscribing myself?

The months you earn wait for you. They're recorded to your account and apply automatically when your own first payment lands.

Is there a limit?

Invite as many people as you like — every friend who subscribes earns you another month. Each referred household earns one credit, once; self-referrals don't count.

Do credits expire or cash out?

Credits offset future Formation invoices. They have no cash value, can't be transferred, and are forfeited if the account closes. Full details are in the referral terms.
