Important Notes

  • Both you (the referrer) and your friend (the new subscriber) will receive 100 free transcription minutes once the referral qualifies.

  • Make sure your friend uses your personal referral link when they sign up—otherwise the referral won’t be tracked.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to Refer a Friend banner in your account.

  2. Share your personal referral link via email, social media, or any way you prefer.

  3. When a friend clicks your link, signs up, and subscribes to a Premium or Enterprise plan, both of you will instantly receive 100 free minutes in your Sonix accounts.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Why didn’t I get minutes after referring someone?

To receive free minutes, your referral must subscribe to a Premium or Enterprise plan using your referral link. If they only sign up (without subscribing), or don’t use your referral link, the reward will not be applied.

Why didn’t I receive my 100 free minutes after my friend signed up?

Double-check that they signed up using your referral link and that they subscribed (not just registered). If everything looks correct and you still don’t see the minutes, please contact Sonix support.

Can I refer someone who already has an account?

The referral only applies when they subscribe to a plan for the first time using your link. Existing users likely won’t trigger the referral.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a successful referral?

A referral is successful when your friend subscribes to Premium or Enterprise via your personal link. That’s when both parties get 100 free minutes.

When will I receive my free minutes?

The 100 free minutes are added instantly once your referral subscription is processed.

Can I use the free minutes immediately?

Yes. Once added to your account, you can use them for transcription just like any other minutes.

Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?

Generally, there’s no set limit—you’re encouraged to refer multiple people. The more you share, the more potential rewards you can earn through the program.
