A referral program is a marketing incentive structure that rewards existing users or customers with compensation for successfully directing new customers to a product or service.

If you've found AI customer service that actually works, you're probably already recommending it to colleagues. We built our referral program to reward that natural advocacy and to help more businesses discover support automation they can trust.
Here's how it works, what you'll earn, and who benefits most.
The Economics: 50/50 Split
When you refer a business to Dante AI, everyone wins:
They get: 50% off their first month on any paid plan (Starter, Advanced, or Pro). No commitment required, cancel anytime if it doesn't deliver.
You earn: a 50% commission on every customer you refer, up to $300 per referral, paid on the customer's first month. Refer a team to the Advanced plan at $120/month and your commission is $60. Refer a Pro plan customer at $400/month and you earn $200 from a single referral.
The math: there is no limit on how many businesses you can refer, so five Advanced referrals is $300 in commissions, and a mix that includes Pro customers climbs fast. Every referral is capped at $300, and every one starts with your contact getting a genuinely useful discount.
Who This Program Is For
Digital agencies serving multiple clients can now earn recurring revenue while their clients test the platform risk-free. The 50% first-month discount makes it easier to get skeptical clients to say yes.
Business consultants already recommending tools to clients have a new revenue stream from solutions that actually work. When your reputation depends on quality recommendations, the first-month discount reduces your risk too.
Satisfied customers who took the risk trying another AI chatbot platform and found one that delivered can now help other burned skeptics discover what you found.
Try it yourself. Train an AI agent on your website, docs, or files. Live in 60 seconds. No code needed.
Real Scenarios, Real Earnings
Let's walk through what this looks like in practice:
Scenario 1: Agency with 3 clients. You implement Dante AI for three small business clients, each on the Starter plan at $40/month. They each save $20 on their first month, and you earn a $20 commission per client. Total earnings: $60, plus three happy clients.
Scenario 2: Consultant referring a mid-size company. You recommend Dante AI to a client who subscribes to the Advanced plan at $120/month. They save $60 on month one, and you earn a $60 commission.
Scenario 3: Happy customer sharing with their network. You refer five businesses from your professional network: two on Starter, two on Advanced, and one on Pro. That's $20 + $20 + $60 + $60 + $200 = $360 in commissions.
Getting Started Takes 60 Seconds
Find the referral widget in the top-right corner of your Dante AI portal. Click it to access your unique referral link, real-time tracking on clicks and signups, and earnings visibility as referrals convert to paid plans.
Share your link via email, social channels, or direct message. When businesses sign up through your link, they automatically receive the 50% first-month discount. When they convert to a paid plan, you start earning.
Payouts are handled through the referral widget. Add your payout details there before withdrawing your earnings.
What Makes This Different
We built Dante AI for businesses burned by chatbots that overpromised and underdelivered. The 50% first-month discount isn't a promotional gimmick. It's a low-risk way for skeptical businesses to test whether our "actually works" claim is real.
If you're referring businesses that match that profile (companies that need proof over promises, that tried AI once and got burned, that are skeptical but willing to test), those are exactly the customers we want to serve well.
This isn't about maximizing your referral count. It's about growing a community of businesses that found AI customer service that actually delivers.
