The SIMKL Referral Program allows users to invite their friends to join the platform while unlocking exclusive benefits for both the referrer and the invitee. By inviting friends, users can offer them a 50% discount on PRO or VIP subscriptions, and in return, they can earn same benefits.

This program helps expand the SIMKL community and supports the development of more features.


How the Referral Program Works

  • Invite your friends to SIMKL using a unique referral link.

  • Your friends will receive a 50% discount on PRO or VIP subscriptions if they subscribe within 24 hours of signing up.

  • When your friend pays for a year of VIP, you will also earn a free year of VIP as a reward.

  • If Friend B buys 1 year pro, Friend A get 1 year pro

  • If Friend B buys 6 month VIP, Friend A gets 6 month VIP

  • If Friend B buys Lifetime, Friend A gets 1 year VIP

  • If Friend A had 1 year PRO plan, Friend B paid 6 month VIP, Friend A will receive prorated 1 year of PRO Plan

  • If Friend A had an active paid subscription, their subscription will be cancelled and time added to their payment history (if they referred a user)
