Referral Program
How the Referral Program Works
TurboPentest's referral program rewards you for spreading the word. When someone you refer signs up and makes their first credit purchase, they get a discount and you earn a free pentest credit. It is a straightforward way to reduce your pentesting costs while helping others discover the platform.
The Referral Flow
- Get your referral link - Every TurboPentest account has a unique referral link in the referral dashboard. The link format is
https://turbopentest.com/?ref=YOUR_CODE. - Share your link - Send it to colleagues, post it in relevant communities (where allowed), include it in blog posts, or mention it in conference talks.
- Referred user signs up - When someone uses your link and creates an account, they are tagged as your referral.
- Referred user purchases - The referred user gets 15% off their first purchase.
- You earn a free pentest - For each referral who converts, you earn a free Audit-Ready (Standard tier) pentest credit.
Reward Structure
| Who | Reward |
|---|---|
| The person you refer | 15% off their first purchase |
| You (the referrer) | One free Audit-Ready pentest credit per converted referral, up to 50 free credits per year |
The referral discount applies to the referred user's first purchase. Your reward is a free Standard-tier pentest credit, granted when the person you referred makes their first purchase.
Tracking Your Referrals

Strategies for Maximizing Referrals

Direct Recommendations
The highest-converting referrals come from personal recommendations:
- Team recommendations - Suggest TurboPentest to your security team or engineering team
- Consultant recommendations - If you do security consulting, recommend TurboPentest to clients
- Community recommendations - When someone asks about pentesting tools in forums or Discord servers, share your experience
Ethical Guidelines
The referral program is designed for genuine recommendations:
- Do not spam - Bulk unsolicited messages violate the terms of service
- Disclose the referral - When sharing your link, mention that it is a referral link
- Be honest - Do not make claims about TurboPentest that are not supported by the platform's actual capabilities
- Respect community rules - Many forums and Discord servers have rules about promotional links. Follow them.
Tax Considerations
Referral rewards are platform credits, not cash payments. They have no monetary redemption value and cannot be withdrawn as currency. Credits can only be used to purchase TurboPentest pentests. Consult your tax advisor regarding whether bonus credits constitute taxable benefits in your jurisdiction.
