The referral programme
Bring a trader. Share the upside.
Bring a trader to Verge. They get 50% off their first month of Pro or Pro+. The moment they complete that month, you bank a 25% credit against your own next bill. Stack friends for bigger ongoing discounts. Twelve retained friends unlocks Founder Pricing: half-price Pro+ for life.
Programme opens with the public launch on 15 August 2026. Beta testers get their link a week early.
For your friend
50% off their first month
When a friend signs up through your link, Pro starts at £8.99 and Pro+ starts at £12.49 for their first month. After that they renew at the standard rate. No upgrade trap, no hidden ratchet.
For you
25% off your next bill, every time
The credit lands the day after your friend's first paid month closes, so we're rewarding real engagement, not just clicks. Credits stack on the same bill if multiple friends convert in the same window.
How it works
Find your link in the app
Open Verge → Settings → Refer a friend. Every Free, Pro and Pro+ subscriber gets a unique short URL. Free-tier users can share too. Credits only fire when their friend converts to a paid plan and completes a month.
Share it on your terms
DMs, Twitter / X, Discord, a trading group, a partner. Your call. There's no template, no required hashtag, no leaderboard. We don't expose who sent it, only that it landed.
Both sides credited automatically
Your friend gets 50% off month one. When that month completes, you bank a 25% credit on your next renewal. Credits cap at 100% off any single bill. Surplus rolls forward.
The milestone ladder
Hitting a milestone replaces the per-friend stack with a deeper, longer-running discount. You're not picking a tier. You're climbing one.
Applied automatically once your friend completes their first paid month. Stacks: bring two friends in the same month and your next bill is 50% off.
Replaces the per-friend stack with a quarterly discount. Quieter cadence, deeper saving. Useful when you're already on annual and credits are pro-rated.
Three months of Pro or Pro+, on the studio. Annual subscribers get the equivalent value as account credit on their next renewal.
Half-price Pro+ for as long as Verge runs. Plus the Founder Circle badge in your profile, early access to new features, and a short hand-written note from the founder.
The rules
- A referral counts the day your friend's first paid month completes. The 50%-off month one isn't enough on its own. We wait for the renewal to fire, so the credit reflects genuine usage.
- Credits apply to future bills, not past ones. You can't claim back retroactively.
- Per-friend credits stack on a single bill up to 100% off. Anything past 100% rolls forward to the next bill. Credits never expire while your subscription is active.
- The 3 / 6 / 12 milestones are cumulative friend-counts. Friends who cancel before their first paid month closes don't count toward either the per-friend credit or the milestones.
- Annual subscribers get credits as pro-rated account credit applied at renewal, not as a refund mid-cycle. Stripe handles the maths.
- Founder Pricing (12 friends) is a one-time switch. Once you're on the lifetime 50%-off rate, new referrals stop earning per-bill credits. You're already on the best price we offer.
- No bots, no incentive-marketplace listings, no buying signups. You're an honest broker between Verge and someone you'd genuinely tell about it. Anything resembling click farming voids the account.
- We never share who referred whom publicly. There's no leaderboard. Quiet, mutual benefit.
