December Challenge: Give the gift of Retool!
Retool builders are entrepreneurial, passionate, and collaborative. You creatively and proactively solve business problems. You earnestly seek to create value. And we’re constantly heartened to see you supporting one another in identifying what to build, and how to build it successfully.
We’re excited to announce a new challenge – December Challenge: Give the gift of Retool! We’ll be celebrating and rewarding top community members who participate in the Retool Referral Program and grow the Retool community.
Over time, we’ve seen you share Retool with others and help friends and colleagues navigate the product. Now, both you and those you refer to use Retool can receive a monetary thank-you.
What is the Retool Referral Program?
- The Retool Referral Program is a way for you to earn cash for referring new businesses to Retool’s Team or Business plans.
- You earn 20% of all payments for 6 months–and your referred customers get 20% off for 6 months too!
- You can start referring customers in just 2 clicks from within the product: 1) Access the referral widget on the homescreen of the product, 2) Copy to share your referral link directly with your network.
- Anyone on a Cloud-hosted plan can participate in the program!
- Learn more about the program here or on the docs.
Rules:
- For the month of December 2023 (December 6th 2023 - Jan 6th 2024), we challenge you to give the gift of Retool and invite as many customers as you’d like to join Retool using the referral program.
- A sign up completed using a referral link = a successful referral. Customers do not need to start paying to count as a successful referral.

How to be successful:
The spirit of this program and challenge is to enable you to do what you’ve already been doing: sharing Retool with other builders, leaders, and operators looking to solve problems, fast. Following that philosophy, to be successful with the program, we suggest:
- Casting a wide net in sharing Retool. With a broad set of use cases, almost any business can find value in Retool. You never know where you’ll hear, “I was looking for something just like this.”
- Explaining the value of Retool clearly. That “aha” moment is special. Telling your personal story with the product and the impact it’s had on your business will help deliver that. (We’ve also included some downloadable graphics in the referral widget to help tell that story).
- Help your referrals build their first Retool app. Consider helping them here on the forum or pointing them to our Office Hours! If you’re excited to build and share your knowledge, helping them get familiar with the platform you know well can help them find their footing and a path toward reaching their goals.
