Recommend Baseplan to someone who would genuinely find it useful. Referrals are tracked at workspace level, so the link, progress and any credit stay with the workspace rather than the owner who shared it.

How the referral programme works

Refer a friend brings the workspace link, credit balance and referral progress together in one place.

Each workspace has a stable referral link. When a new customer follows it, signs up and pays an eligible subscription invoice within 90 days, the referral moves into a 14-day qualification period.

After qualification, £75 is added to the referring workspace’s credit. There is no fixed reward cap, but every recommendation must meet the programme rules.

Share your referral link

Share the link from the workspace that should receive any future credit.

  1. Open Refer a friend

    Switch to the workspace that should receive the credit, then choose Refer a friend in the workspace sidebar. Only an owner of an active workspace can open this page.

  2. Copy or email the link

    Choose Copy link to share it in your own message, or choose Email to open a prepared email. The link is stable, so you can reuse it for later recommendations.

    The referral link is tied to the active workspace shown in the workspace switcher.
  3. Your friend creates a new account

    The recipient must follow the link before creating their account. Baseplan uses the first valid referral linked to the signup, and attribution lasts for 90 days from the link visit.

  4. They start an eligible paid subscription

    An eligible non-zero Baseplan subscription invoice paid within that 90-day window starts a 14-day qualification period. Seat-only charges, zero-value invoices and payments recorded outside Baseplan do not qualify.

Track referrals and credit

Activity shows the dates and status for each referral without revealing the customer’s name or email address.

  1. Read the credit summary

    Available is credit ready for a future invoice. Pending is still within the qualification period. Total earned is all credit this workspace has earned, including credit already used.

  2. Check Activity

    Use Joined, Subscribed and Status to follow a referral from signup through qualification to earned credit.

    The activity table shows progress while keeping customer identities private.
  3. Understand status changes

    If a status changes to Reviewing or Not eligible, use the table below to see what it means and whether credit is affected.

Referral status meanings

Read the status and credit columns together to see whether a referral is waiting, earned or closed.

How credit is applied

Earned referral credit is non-cash Baseplan credit, denominated in GBP. It applies automatically to a future eligible invoice for the referring workspace. Any unused balance rolls forward.

Credit cannot be withdrawn, transferred to another workspace or exchanged for cash. If a Free workspace earns a reward, Baseplan keeps it ready until that workspace has a billing customer on a paid plan.

Eligibility checklist

A recommendation normally qualifies when all of the following are true:

  • The referred person is a genuinely new Baseplan customer.
  • They visited your valid link before creating the account, and no earlier valid referral already applies.
  • An eligible non-zero Baseplan subscription invoice is paid within the 90-day referral window.
  • The subscription stays active and the qualifying payment is not refunded or disputed during the 14-day qualification period.
  • The referral is not a self-referral, duplicate, fraudulent or otherwise outside the programme terms.

Important referral timings

These dates show where a referral is in the 90-day attribution and 14-day qualification timeline.

No fixed cap applies. Every referral must independently meet the programme requirements.
