Invites

Invites are how you bring someone new into exe.dev. There are two related systems:

Trial invites give someone a one-time signup path into a trial.
Invite rewards use a reusable link that rewards both accounts after the invited person upgrades to a paid plan.

You can manage both from the Invites page in the web UI or with the invite command.

Trial invites

Trial invites are single-use invite codes assigned to your account. Each unused invite can be shared as a web link or as an SSH command. When someone signs up with it, the code is marked used and no longer appears in your unused invite list.

Use:

exe.dev ▶ invite manage

to open the Invites page, or:

exe.dev ▶ invite request

to request more trial invites when your plan allows it.

Invite rewards

Invite rewards are separate from your pool of one-time trial invites. Instead of sharing a different code each time, you choose a reward and get one stable invite link. New signups through that link carry the reward you selected.

Anyone who signs up through your reward link starts on a 30-day trial, just like trial invites.

The reward is granted after the invited person upgrades to a paid plan. At that point, both accounts receive the selected reward. Reward types can include credits, extra memory, or extra disk, depending on the rewards currently offered.

To create or update your reward link:

exe.dev ▶ invite rewards
exe.dev ▶ invite set-reward <reward>
exe.dev ▶ invite show

Changing your selected reward keeps the same link, but future signups through that link use the new reward. People who already signed up keep the reward that was attached when they joined.

Activity and earned rewards

Use:

exe.dev ▶ invite activity

or the Invites page to see who signed up, which reward applies, and whether a reward invite is still waiting for an upgrade or has been rewarded.

After rewards are granted, credits appear with your account credits. Memory and disk rewards are added to your account limits and are also visible with:

exe.dev ▶ billing rewards
