Refer friends and earn Flow Pro credit
Last updated: October 30, 2026
Available on: Mac, Windows and iPhone. Applying a referral code after signup requires desktop; Android does not offer referral controls.
Invite friends to try Flow Pro and earn credit toward your subscription. Your friend's trial and your reward have different eligibility rules: sharing an invitation does not guarantee credit.
Check reward eligibility
Your situation | How rewards work |
Individual paid Pro or Student bought on Wispr's website | Credit automatically discounts an upcoming subscription payment. |
Free plan without free Student coverage | Rewards are banked and applied when you buy an eligible individual website plan. |
Active App Store or Play Store subscription | Eligible friends receive the trial, but you earn no credit. |
Live team billing, including Growth or Enterprise | Eligible friends receive the trial, but you earn no credit, even with a personal subscription. |
If live team billing no longer covers you, eligibility follows your active mobile subscription or individual/free plan. Free accounts in the earning view see Upgrade in the desktop credit banner only after a completed referral; it opens Plans & Billing. The Refer footer says: “You must subscribe via the desktop app to claim your rewards.”
Each qualifying referral earns you one month of credit after your friend dictates 2,000 cumulative words or has a personal subscription that is active or still in its trial. A Pro subscription still in its Stripe trial counts; payment is not required. Signing up alone earns you nothing.
The benefit limit is 1,000 referrals, and unaccepted email invitations count toward it. Beyond the limit, a referral can still be marked complete and generate a notification without adding credit.
Credit value and payment timing
Credit is a billing discount, not cash. One month is worth your plan's monthly price or one-twelfth of its annual price, rounded. If no plan price is supplied for the calculation, standard Pro/Student monthly pricing applies. An unrecognized plan price instead leaves credit unapplied and the months banked for a later attempt.
Credit is applied at website checkout or overnight for active website subscribers; retries do not award the same credit twice. Checkout can proceed without the discount if applying credit fails.
Your friend's trial
Referred friends receive a 30-day Pro trial at signup instead of the standard 14 days, only if they have no existing trial record. A used or revoked trial does not reset at a later sign-in. Promotional trial lengths take precedence over student and referral trials; otherwise eligible students receive 90 days. Students covered by the free Student plan receive no trial.
Warning: Trials have a 3-day grace period, but joining a team with live billing and team trials disabled ends your personal trial and that grace period immediately, making you billable. See Team plans, trials and seat billing.
Other team-trial outcomes
With team trials enabled, joining a team extends the same trial only if its 14-day period or enterprise pilot ends later. A longer referral trial stays unchanged, but the team-trial benefit is used; there is no second trial.
With team trials disabled and no live team billing, joining does not remove your personal trial or grant a full team trial. If you already used your team trial and join a team without live billing, you receive 24 hours of billing grace instead.
Share your referral link
Mac and Windows
Selecting the invite link box itself also copies the link.
Open Flow's Hub → Account.
Select Refer a friend.
Select Copy beside Your invite link in the Refer tab.
Send the copied link to your friend.
If Flow reports no referral code, restart Flow; contact support if the code remains missing.
Email invitations require new users and valid addresses; you cannot invite yourself.
Enter up to 10 comma-separated addresses under Send invites.
Select Send.
Empty input shows Please enter at least one email address; invalid input shows Please enter a valid email address; exceeding the limit shows You can only invite up to 10 people at a time. These errors prevent sending.
Invites sent successfully confirms sending. Failed to send invites, please try again means sending failed. A batch can partly succeed: Invite error: lists only failed addresses, sometimes with a generic reason. Invite could not be sent can mean an existing account, another referrer or a reminder limit described below.
iPhone
The earning view is limited to website-billed Pro/Student monthly or yearly plans, excluding free Student coverage; other users see gifting wording.
Open Flow's menu.
Choose Get a free month or Refer a friend.
Select Copy for the link only, or Share Invite to send through another app.
Copy invite in the sharing sheet copies the full invitation message. Choose Other apps if yours is not listed; unavailable sharing apps can fall back to the system share sheet, except iMessage, which falls back to a text message, and X, which falls back to the web tweet page.
A missing link refreshes automatically when you open Referrals; an unsuccessful automatic attempt shows no error. If the link is missing, select its circular-arrow refresh control to reload it. Unable to refresh referral link means the refresh failed.
Apply a code after signing up
Each person can have only one referrer; an existing referrer cannot be replaced. A pending email invitation alone does not block code application.
Note: If you only use an iPhone, sign in on desktop with the same account or contact support with the complete code.
Sign in to Flow on Mac or Windows.
Open Hub → Account → Refer a friend.
Select Apply referral.
Enter the full code; Flow uppercases it automatically.
Select Apply or press Enter.
Success removes the Apply referral tab and returns you to Refer. The confirmation mentions next-cycle credit, but reward eligibility still applies.
If a code won't apply
An empty field shows Please enter a referral code without submitting. Repeat clicks are ignored while a code is applying; rapid repeated attempts can also be refused.
Rejections include User already referred., User already has a referral record., Cannot refer yourself., User not found. and User does not have a referrer code. For Referrer user not found. or Invalid referral code., check the complete code with its sender. Other failures show the generic Failed to apply referral code.
Track a referral or missing credit
Open Past referrals on desktop; on iPhone, Past Invites appears once you have referrals.
Not signed up yet: The invitation has not been accepted.
Under 2000 words: Your friend signed up but has not qualified; the reward shows Pending.
Complete: Your friend reached the word requirement; team/store referrals can also complete at signup without earning credit, now or later.
Upgraded to Pro: Your friend qualified through a personal subscription.
Team, in-app subscription and free Student accounts show gifting wording such as Rewards given. On iPhone, completed gift-only rows show the email and +1 month, without status text; desktop also shows one month for zero-credit referrals. Desktop can show REFEREE_REWARDED outside the gifting view.
Completion labels, month badges and notifications do not prove billing credit. Statuses can remain outdated after a failed refresh without showing an error. Success emails are sent only when credit is awarded; an email failure does not undo credit.
Select Remind them beside a pending invitation on either platform. You can send at most two reminders, each at least 24 hours after the previous invitation or reminder. Re-sending your own pending invitee's address also counts as a reminder; a success message confirms sending.
If credit is missing, confirm your friend used your link/email invitation or applied your code, and was not already referred by someone else. Qualification is checked when your friend dictates, so credit can appear after their next dictation. Check the activation, plan eligibility and benefit-limit rules above.
Replace your referral link
Warning: Generating a new link can't be undone. Your old link stops working for new signups and can't be restored. Existing referrals move to your new code and are not lost.
Select the refresh icon beside Your invite link in the Hub's Refer tab.
Share the new link after Referral code updated confirms the change.
Failed to regenerate referral code means the replacement failed.
Still stuck?
Contact support if:
A qualifying reward has not activated after 24 hours.
A referral trial appears shortened.
You need help applying a code.
If you moved from an individual plan to team billing, contact support about an existing credit balance; it cannot pay for the team plan.
Missed-trial recovery limits
Support can review a missed referral trial. An eligible recovery grant gives 30 days from the grant date, ending at 23:59:59 UTC; repeating it that day adds no time.
Recovery is unavailable if the account is older than 45 days, cannot be found or has no referral. It is also unavailable with promotional trial days, free Student coverage, enterprise membership, a used team trial, a revoked trial, a longer existing trial, a paid website subscription or an active mobile subscription.
Include your platform, device, plan, where you bought your subscription, what you tried, and your referral code or the invited email address.
