Invites
Trial invites and invite rewards
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`](/docs/cli-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.
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
```
