Introducing Referrals: Earn 25% of Every Plan You Bring In

Echosaw now pays you for the people you bring in. Share your referral link, and when someone subscribes through it you earn 25% of their monthly plan price — every month, for as long as they stay subscribed.

What you earn

The commission is 25% of the referred subscriber's monthly base plan:

  • Starter ($9/month) → $2.25 per month
  • Growth ($19/month) → $4.75 per month
  • Pro ($29/month) → $7.25 per month
  • Agency ($49/month) → $12.25 per month
It's a share of the monthly plan line only — analysis minutes and other usage charges on their invoice don't earn commission. But it isn't a one-time bounty either: you earn on their first payment and on every renewal after it, so a handful of referrals turns into a standing monthly amount rather than a single payday.

Earning starts on day one

Every payment your referrals make earns from the first invoice. Each amount you earn is held for 30 days before it becomes withdrawable — the hold only delays when money can move, it never forfeits anything. Your first commission appears immediately as pending and becomes withdrawable 30 days later.

How you get paid

Payouts run on the last Friday of each month. Once your withdrawable balance reaches $50, we transfer everything above a $50 reserve, which stays in your balance while you still have an active referral. Anything under $50 rolls forward to the next month — nothing expires.

If everyone you referred eventually cancels, your remaining balance is still yours: once the last 30-day holds clear, the reserve is paid out in one final transfer and your balance goes to $0.

Payouts go out through Stripe, so the first thing to do after you start referring is finish payout setup on the Referrals tab. Stripe collects your payout and tax details there — and because referral earnings are income to you rather than a discount on your own subscription, that step includes the tax identity form (a W-9, or the appropriate W-8 outside the US). Until it's complete, your earnings are held for you and go out on a later payout. If a payment you earned on is refunded or disputed, that commission is reversed.

Getting your link

Open Account → Referrals. Your link is created the first time you open the tab and looks like https://secure.echosaw.com/?ref=YOURCODE. The same tab shows your balance, what's still inside a 30-day hold, your progress toward the next payout, everyone you've referred, and your payout history.


The full rules — eligibility, holds, payout thresholds, clawbacks, and payee tax responsibilities — are in the Referral Program Terms. Start sharing from Account → Referrals.
