Every Pocodot account comes with a unique referral link. Invite friends with it and you earn credits as they start using Cole: +50 credits when a friend you invite verifies their phone and starts using Cole, and +500 credits each when they upgrade to a paid plan. There are no codes to enter: the link tracks it for you.
Whether you're a solo founder running lean or a team using Cole every day, the referral program is a simple way to grow your balance without reaching for your wallet. This guide covers exactly how it works, what you earn, and how to get started.

How the Referral Program Works
The referral flow is three steps:
- Share your link. Find your unique referral URL on the referral page or in your referrals dashboard. Copy it, or use the share buttons.
- Your friend signs up and starts using Cole. They create a free Pocodot account through your link. No credit card required. They get 150 free credits to start, like every new account.
- You earn as they go. When your friend verifies their phone and starts using Cole, you get +50 credits. If they upgrade to a paid plan, you both get +500.
That's it. No manual claims and no codes. Attribution is tracked automatically through your link.
If you're brand new to Pocodot, our getting started guide walks you through your first credits before you send your first invite.
What You Earn: The Full Reward Ladder
| Action | Credits Earned | Who Receives |
|---|---|---|
| Friend signs up | 0 | Nobody yet |
| Friend verifies their phone and starts using Cole | +50 | You |
| Friend upgrades to a paid plan | +500 | You and your friend |
"Starts using Cole" means your friend has really used it: at least 3 replies from Cole over at least 2 days, within 14 days of signing up. You can earn this +50 bonus for up to 5 friends a month. The friend bonus is available in many countries, not all.
The upgrade bonus counts if your friend upgrades within 90 days of signing up through your link.
Credits earned through referrals work exactly like other credits. Use them for anything Cole does: chats, reminders, research, email, phone calls.
The Monthly Cap: How It Works
To keep the program sustainable, the credits you earn from referrals are capped at 2,500 per calendar month.
- The cap applies to your referral earnings only. Plan credits, top-ups and promo credits are separate.
- Your friend's +500 upgrade credits are theirs either way.
- There are no milestone bonuses right now, so nothing else counts toward the cap.
You can see your referrals and what you've earned in your referrals dashboard.
Where to Find and Share Your Link
Your referral link is on the referral page when you're signed in, and in the Referrals section of your dashboard. To find it:
- Log in to your Pocodot account
- Open the Referrals page
- Copy your unique link or use the share buttons
Send it however you usually talk to friends: WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn or email.
According to Nielsen research, 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know over any other form of advertising. A personal invite from you carries more weight than any ad campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?
You can invite as many people as you like. The limits are on rewards: the +50 bonus for a friend who starts using Cole counts for up to 5 friends a month, and your total referral earnings are capped at 2,500 credits a month.
When do credits arrive in my account?
Nothing is added at signup. The +50 lands once your friend has verified their phone and started using Cole (at least 3 replies over at least 2 days, within 14 days of signing up). The +500 for each of you lands when your friend upgrades to a paid plan.
What happens if my friend signs up but never upgrades?
If they start using Cole, you still get the +50. The +500 upgrade bonus only comes if they upgrade to a paid plan within 90 days of signing up through your link.
Can I refer myself with a second account?
No. Self-referrals don't count, and credits earned that way may be reversed.
How do I track my referrals?
Your referrals dashboard shows who signed up through your link and what you've earned.
As Harvard Business Review notes, referred customers tend to be more loyal and have higher lifetime value, so your referrals help the whole community.
Final Thoughts
The Pocodot referral program is simple: share your link, and earn credits as your friends start using Cole and upgrade. You get +50 when a friend starts using Cole, and you both get +500 when they upgrade.
