Contra Referral Code

Q: How much can I earn from the Contra referral program?

Contra pays up to $25 for every referral that completes. When a client you referred completes a project worth at least $500, you instantly receive a $25 reward in your Contra wallet. Terms and conditions apply.

Q: How do I refer someone to Contra?

Invite anyone new to Contra through a proposal, invoice, recommendation request, direct invite, or by sharing your unique referral link. When they sign up through you, that counts as a referral.

Q: When does a referral count as complete?

A referral completes when the person you referred either finishes a project worth at least $500 as a client, or subscribes to Contra Pro as an independent.

Q: Who can sign up with my referral link?

Anyone who is new to Contra and signs up using your referral link is eligible for the referral program. This includes freelancers as well as startups, small businesses, agencies, and enterprises.

Q: When and how do I get paid for a referral?

You receive your reward once the referral completes. For a referred client, the $25 reward is added instantly to your Contra wallet after they complete a $500 or larger project. For a referred independent, the reward is triggered when they subscribe to Contra Pro.

Q: Where should I share my Contra referral link?

Contra suggests sharing your link anywhere you talk to friends or potential clients, including email, social media, professional networks, and business communities.

Q: Where can I read the full referral terms?

Full details are in Contra's Referral Program Terms of Service, and you can contact hello@contra.com with questions. Reward amounts and conditions are subject to those terms.

Genie Says

Contra's referral programme is bigger than the $25 client reward alone suggests — that figure is only one of two real paths. Refer a client and you get $25 instantly once they complete a project worth $500 or more. Refer an independent and a separate reward applies: $45 one time if they subscribe to Contra Pro annually, or $6 a month for up to 12 months if they take the monthly plan and stay subscribed, which can add up to more than the client path over time. Both paths trigger from the same referral link, proposal, invoice or direct invite, so which reward you earn depends on whether the person you referred signs up as a client or as an independent.

Why Choose Contra?

Cash rewards, not credits

Contra pays referral rewards in cash to your Contra wallet, up to $25 per completed referral, rather than platform points or discounts.

Many ways to refer

A referral counts whenever someone new signs up through your proposal, invoice, recommendation request, direct invite, or unique referral link, so referring fits naturally into your normal client workflow.

Commission-free work platform

Independents on Contra get paid commission-free, which makes it an easy recommendation for freelancers and the clients who hire them.

Refer clients or independents

You can earn from both sides of the network: a client referral completes when they finish a $500 or larger project, and an independent referral completes when they subscribe to Contra Pro.

Instant wallet payout for client referrals

When a client you referred completes a $500 or larger project, Contra says the $25 reward is added to your Contra wallet instantly.
