  1. Every free token your app gives away costs you something. Today, most of it brings nothing back.
  2. With Earnesty, the users you already support can earn more tokens by posting about your app.
  3. Each post puts your app in front of the people who follow them, an audience you didn't have before.
  4. Earnesty checks every post: the disclosure, the account and your rules. A post that doesn't qualify earns nothing, and you never review one by hand.
  5. You set what a post earns, how often someone can earn, and the most any one user can earn. Paid plans still give more, without the wait or the post.
  6. Earnesty. Make free users part of your distribution.

Why Now

Free used to be cheap. AI ended that.

Every free generation, edit or answer has a cost. An earned tier gives you something back for that spend: public posts from people using your product.

Explore the Earned Tier model

Alongside free and paid

Get something back from the users you’re already supporting.

Say you run an AI photo-editing app. Every free edit costs you money. Some users leave when their tokens run out; others return for the next free allowance without ever upgrading.

Offer 25 tokens for a public post showing what they created. They get another reason to use your app. You get your product in front of their followers. The usage you fund now gives something back.

You choose how many tokens a qualifying post earns and how long users wait before they can earn again. The offer stays available alongside paid top-ups; users can earn before their tokens run out.

The tools to run it are included.

Make more of the access you already provide.

If your product gives away credits, generations or usage, you already bear their cost. An earned tier lets users earn more in exchange for a public post that can introduce your app to their audience.

Earnesty handles the post checks and reward instructions, so you can run the offer without reviewing and crediting every post by hand.

It fits products where extra usage is valuable to users and affordable for you to provide, including AI tools, creative apps and credit-based SaaS.

Start with the offer that fits your product.

Regular sharing

Let users earn again after a cooldown you choose.

A limited campaign

Run a Drop to reward users for posting about your launch or latest feature.

5 Earnesty Credits per accepted post. No subscription.

A $10 purchase gives you 1,000 Earnesty Credits, enough for 200 accepted posts including their scheduled performance review. Your app supplies the user’s reward separately.

Before you get started

Won’t users earn tokens instead of paying?

Some may. But a user who runs out of tokens might otherwise leave or wait for their next free or subscription allowance. An earned reward gives them a way to keep using your app while sharing it with their audience. You control how much they can earn and how often. Keep rewards useful but bounded, so paid plans and top-ups still offer more capacity without the wait or the posting.

Where do users post?

X is available now, with more platforms planned. Users post from their own accounts, with your brand handle and the required disclosure.

Do users have to say something positive?

No. Users share their own experience. Positive and critical posts follow the same eligibility rules. Optional bonuses depend on the post’s public engagement, never its opinion.

Does someone have to sign up or buy for the post to earn?

No. A qualifying post earns the base reward you set without a referral, signup or purchase. You can also offer a bonus based on the post’s public engagement.

Do users need an Earnesty account?

No. They access their personal rewards page through your app. Their first post includes a code that connects their X account.

What do I need to integrate?

Your backend registers participants and receives reward instructions. You embed or link to Earnesty’s hosted rewards page. Your app grants the credits or access and keeps the user’s balance.

Give your users a reason to spread the word.

Offer more of your product in return for public posts about it. Set your rewards, connect your app and launch your first offer.
