Dante AI referral program: earn while you share

TL;DR: Every Dante account includes a personal referral link under Refer and earn in the dashboard sidebar. Share it and you earn a 50% commission on each referred customer's first month, up to $300 per referral, while they get 50% off their first month. Free to join, 90-day attribution, unlimited referrals.

The Dante AI affiliate program pays you a 50% commission on each referred customer's first month, up to $300 per referral, with no limit on how many people you can refer. The person you refer gets 50% off their first month on any paid plan. It is free to join on any Dante account, including the free plan.

Two things people love recommending: tools that saved them real time, and tools that made them look good for suggesting them. An AI chatbot affiliate program should reward both, so we built ours to be simple enough to explain in one paragraph. This guide covers the whole thing end to end: where your link lives, how tracking works, what you earn, how payouts happen, and the ground rules.

How the referral program works, end to end

The program runs inside the product, so there is no separate application, approval queue, or affiliate dashboard login to manage.

Get your link. Log in to Dante and click Refer and earn in the left sidebar. The panel that opens carries your personal referral link, your sharing stats, and your payout setup. If you do not have an account yet, create a free one first; no card is needed.
Share it. Put the link wherever your audience is: an article, a newsletter, a comparison page, a client proposal, or a message to a colleague who keeps complaining about their support inbox.
Tracking starts on the click. Every visit through your link sets a 90-day attribution cookie. If that person signs up today or three weeks from now, the referral still counts for you.
You earn on the upgrade. When your referral subscribes to a paid plan, you earn a 50% commission on their first month, capped at $300 for that referral. Their payment clearing is what confirms the commission.
Get paid. Payouts are handled through the same Refer and earn panel, powered by Cello, the referral platform behind the program. You add your payout details once and commissions flow to you as they confirm.

What you earn, and what your referral gets

Both sides of the referral get real value, which is what makes the link worth clicking in the first place.

Your referral gets: 50% off their first month on any paid plan. No commitment, cancel anytime.

You get: a 50% commission on their first month, up to $300 per referral. In practice:

Refer someone to the Starter plan at $40 per month and you earn $20.
Refer a team to the Advanced plan at $120 per month and you earn $60.
Refer a company to the Pro plan at $400 per month and you earn $200.

There is no cap on your total earnings, only the $300 per-referral ceiling. Five Advanced referrals is $300. An agency moving twenty clients onto the platform is playing a very different game.

Who can join

Anyone with a Dante account, on any plan. You do not need to be a paying customer, and you do not need to apply. The program fits three groups especially well:

Existing customers who already recommend Dante to peers can now get paid for the advocacy they were doing for free.

Agencies and consultants who set up AI agents for clients earn a commission on every client they move onto the platform, and the first-month discount makes the recommendation easier for the client to say yes to.

Content creators, reviewers, and newsletter writers covering AI tools can build their tracked link into articles and comparison pages. The free plan means you can test the product properly before writing about it: train an AI agent on your own website and see it answering in about 60 seconds.

Get your referral link. Create a free account, click Refer and earn in the sidebar, and start sharing. No card needed.

How payouts work

Tracking, attribution, and payouts are run by Cello, the referral infrastructure the program is built on, so the numbers you see in the Refer and earn panel are the same numbers payouts are made from. You set up your payout method inside the panel. A commission confirms once the referred customer's payment clears, and if that payment is later refunded, the matching commission is voided. Self-referrals are blocked automatically.

Promotional guidelines

We keep the rules short and expect them to be followed:

No bidding on our brand terms. Do not run search ads on "Dante AI" or close misspellings of it. Generic terms like "ai chatbot" or "ai customer service" are fine.
No spam. Share your link in places where people chose to hear from you. Bulk unsolicited email or comment-section link drops will get a partner removed.
No misleading claims. Describe what the product actually does. If you are unsure whether a claim is accurate, check our news and guides or ask us before publishing.
No self-referrals. The platform detects and blocks them, so do not spend creativity here.

Running a review site, newsletter, or agency?

The standard program above is self-serve and live today. If you want something bespoke, a content partnership, co-marketing, or volume terms beyond the standard commission, visit our affiliates page or contact us and tell us about your audience. Two-minute pitch: Dante lets anyone train an AI agent on their website, documents, or files and have it live and answering customers in about 60 seconds, with plans from free to Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Who can join the Dante AI affiliate program?

Anyone with a Dante account can join, including accounts on the free plan. There is no application or approval step. Create an account, open Refer and earn in the sidebar, and your personal referral link is ready to share.

Do I need to be a paying customer to refer people?

No. The referral link comes with every account, free plan included. Many partners start on the free plan, test the product by building an AI agent on their own content, and then promote it from first-hand experience.

How much do I earn per referral?

You earn a 50% commission on the referred customer's first month, capped at $300 per referral. That is $20 for a Starter referral, $60 for Advanced, and $200 for Pro. There is no limit on the number of people you can refer.

What does the person I refer get?

Anyone who signs up through your link gets 50% off their first month on any paid plan. They can cancel anytime, so there is no lock-in on their side.

How long does the referral tracking last?

Attribution runs on a 90-day cookie. If someone clicks your link and upgrades to a paid plan within 90 days, the referral counts for you, even if they sign up on a later visit.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts are handled through the Refer and earn panel in your dashboard, powered by Cello, the referral platform behind the program. You add your payout details there once. A commission confirms when the referred customer's payment clears, and it is voided if that payment is refunded.

What are the promotional guidelines?

Three rules: do not bid on Dante AI brand terms in search ads, do not spam, and do not make misleading claims about the product. Self-referrals are blocked automatically. SEO content, newsletters, comparison pages, and generic-term ads are all welcome.

I run a review site, newsletter, or agency. Can I get a custom arrangement?

Yes. The standard program is self-serve and live today. For bespoke partnerships, content collaborations, or volume terms, reach us through the affiliates page or the contact form on the website.
