Referral program

Refer a team. Keep half of what they pay for a year.

Know an engineering team fighting rate limits, retries, or a queue they'd rather not run? Send them to SimpleQ, tell us who they are, and earn 50% of their subscription and overage charges — every month for their first year.

How it works

Three steps. No fine print on the split.

01

Apply and get your code

Fill in the short form below. We review applications by hand and send you a personal referral code within two business days.

02

Refer a team, then let us know

When a team you referred signs up, email [email protected] with your referral code and their signup email or company name. That's the whole process — no tracking links, no cookies to expire.

03

Earn 50% of everything they pay

Half of every subscription charge and every overage charge on that account is credited to you. Paid out monthly for the account's first 12 months as a SimpleQ customer.

What it adds up to

Revenue share, not a one-time bounty.

Most referral programs pay a flat fee and move on. Ours pays half of the account's bill for a full year — subscription and overage alike — so your earnings grow as the teams you referred grow.

Illustration uses current Standard pricing: $19/mo including 500,000 attempts, then $0.50 per 100,000. Actual usage varies.

Commissions are on net revenue collected — after refunds, credits, taxes, and processing fees.

Takes about a minute. No fee, no minimums, no exclusivity.

By applying you agree to the program terms below and our terms and privacy policy.

Program terms

The short version of the rules.

The full referral partner agreement is sent with your approval email. These are the terms that matter day to day.

Commission

50% of net revenue SimpleQ collects from a referred account for subscription fees and usage overage, for the 12 months following the account's signup date, calculated after refunds, chargebacks, credits, taxes, and payment-processing fees. Enterprise contracts sourced through a partner earn 50% of the first 12 months of committed revenue.

Attribution

To attribute an account, email [email protected] with your referral code and the referred team's signup email or company name within 30 days of their signup. We confirm the match and tag the account to you permanently. Accounts already attributed to another partner, and your own accounts, are not eligible.

Payouts

Commissions accrue as the referred account pays its invoices and are paid within 30 days of the end of each calendar month once your balance reaches $50. We pay by default via Wise (available in 160+ countries, in your local currency); if Wise doesn't work for you, tell us and we'll arrange an alternative such as PayPal or direct bank transfer. Balances under the threshold roll over.

Conduct

No paid search on SimpleQ brand terms, no coupon or deal sites, no spam, no misrepresenting the product or pricing. We may pause or terminate accounts that violate these rules and will withhold commissions tied to fraudulent or refunded activity.

SimpleQ may update program terms with 30 days' notice to active partners. Changes never apply retroactively to commissions already accrued.

Everything a referred account pays SimpleQ for the product: the Standard subscription ($19/mo today) and any overage attempts billed on top of the included allowance. It's revenue share, not a one-time bounty — if a referred team's usage doubles, so does your commission.
