By Our customers love to share Honeybadger. It usually goes like this:
A colleague or client is struggling with app performance, missing critical issues, or drowning in false alerts. You mention how Honeybadger solved those exact problems for you. They try it, love it, and another happy Honeybadger customer is born.
You helped them succeed, they got better monitoring, and you got... nothing—except the warm fuzzies of knowing you helped our small team succeed. 💕
Today, that changes: Refer a company to Honeybadger, and you'll get warm fuzzies AND free monitoring credits.
Earn up to 20% when you refer your colleagues
We're launching a customer referral program. When someone you refer becomes a Honeybadger customer, you receive up to 20% of their payment as credit towards your monthly bill.
Here's where things get interesting: If you refer enough revenue, you could reduce your total Honeybadger bill to $0.
Since Honeybadger team accounts start at $26/month, one solid workplace referral could completely cover your Honeybadger account. You now have premium monitoring for side projects, hobby apps, learning new frameworks, or building your next big thing.
To make this more concrete, let's say you refer your employer or client to Honeybadger:
- Refer a team paying $90/month → You earn $18/month in credits, and pay just $8/month for your $26/month account.
- Refer a company paying $200/month → That's $40/month in credits, which would cover your full $26 account plus $14 extra for scaling up.
- Refer an enterprise account paying $900/month → That's $180/month in credits—enough to cover a substantial account with room for multiple projects.
Monthly credits apply as long as both accounts remain active; one workplace referral could cover you indefinitely. Note: Credits don't roll over, so use them each month or lose them.
