Invite friends

Every KitCut account has an invite link. When a friend joins through it and their first film is finished, you each get 2 minutes of film. If the friend subscribes to Pro, you also get a one-time bonus as big as their plan (up to 10 minutes), and they get 50% more minutes in their first month.

What you and a friend get

When Your friend gets You get
Their first film is finished (or they subscribe before making one) 2:00 of film 2:00 of film, for up to 20 friends
They subscribe to Pro 50% more minutes in their first paid month, up to 10 minutes more, if they subscribe within 30 days of joining once, as many minutes as their plan gives a month, up to 10 minutes; it arrives 14 days after their first payment

Examples:

  • A friend who makes a film and stays on Free: you each get 2:00.
  • A friend who subscribes to Pro with 10 minutes a month:
    • they get 2:00 plus 5:00 more in their first month;
    • you get 2:00 plus 10:00.
  • A friend on Pro with 20 minutes a month:
    • they get 2:00 plus 10:00;
    • you get 2:00 plus 10:00.
  • Where it is: in the Invite friends section of your account page, with Copy link and buttons to share it on X, WhatsApp or by email (and the phone's own share sheet, on a phone). The account menu and the Invite friends card at the bottom of the Studio's sidebar both link to it.
  • Your films carry it too: Create your own KitCut video on your films' share pages and on your creator page is your invite link, so someone who signs up after watching a film you shared counts as your friend. This is off while your name is hidden on your films (Your account).
  • Sharing a film shares your invitation: the Share button under a finished film copies the film's link with your invitation in it, and films you publish to YouTube carry your link in their description.
The account page's Invite friends section: the two offers (2:00 for you and your friend when their first film is done, up to 10:00 when a friend subscribes), the invite link with a red circle around Copy link, buttons to share on X, WhatsApp and by email, the counts (link opened, joined, made a film, subscribed, earned, on the way), and a table of friends with what each earned.
kitcut.ai/account#invite: your link, how to share it, and what each friend earned you.
  • What a friend sees: the link looks like kitcut.ai/i/abc2def. It opens KitCut with a note that you invited them, showing your first name if you signed up with Google, or "A friend". Your email address is never shown.
The top of KitCut's home page opened from an invite link, with a red circle around the note: Sam invited you. Sign up free and make your first film: you both get 2:00 more film. Already have an account? Sign in to accept. A Sign up free button sits beside it.
A friend who opens your link is greeted by your first name.
  • How long it counts: a friend must sign up within 30 days of opening your link. If they open several people's links, the last one counts.
  • A friend who already has an account: opening your link while signed in accepts your invitation, and so does signing in within 30 days of opening it. The page tells them it worked. From then on it works as for a new friend, counted from their next finished film (or a new subscription) rather than their first.

When the credits arrive

  • The 2:00 for each of you arrive the moment the friend's first film is finished, or when they first pay, if that comes first. A film that fails or is stopped does not count, and neither do the films they make in someone else's workspace: only the friend's own. You both get an email.
  • The bonus for a friend who subscribes arrives 14 days after their first payment, if their plan is still set to renew then. If they cancel before that, there is no bonus. It lands the first time you or your friend opens KitCut after that day, and you get an email.
  • Where you see it: the Invite friends section lists each friend and what they earned you:
    • "Waiting for their first film";
    • "+2:00 for you";
    • "Subscribed: +m:ss on" a date;
    • "Plan cancelled: no bonus".
  • How long they last: invitation credits appear under Credits received as "Invitation bonus" and last 365 days. The first-month boost lasts that paid month, like plan credits.
  • Order: credits are spent soonest-expiring first, so your monthly credits are used before invitation credits.

Rules

  • One invitation per account: an account joins through one invitation, when it is made or later, and cannot switch to another.
  • Not each other: if you joined through a friend's invitation, your invitation adds nothing for them.
  • An existing subscriber: their plan renewing does not count; their next finished film does.
  • No self-invites: another address of yours (including Gmail's dots and + aliases) earns nothing, and neither does a disposable email address. A friend who is a second account of anybody who already has one earns nothing either, whoever invited them (One account per person).
  • A check by hand before either of you is paid; it usually takes a day or two:
    • a friend who has been on the same network or browser as you, or as another friend you invited;
    • a friend whose name, or the letters of whose address, are the same as yours;
    • a friend past the 3 you were paid for in the last 7 days.
  • Looked at twice: a friend is checked when they join and again when their first film is finished.
  • The 20-friend limit is only on your 2:00. Friends past it still get theirs, and the bonus for friends who subscribe has no limit.
  • Refunds: if a payment is refunded or disputed, what it earned (for either of you) is taken back.
  • Not money: invitation credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged. KitCut may change or end invitations; credits already received are kept until they expire. See the terms.
  • Only on kitcut.ai: AI assistants connected to KitCut do not offer invitations.
