> You can host a Telegram bot on Netrun around the clock for free by inviting friends: invitations earn you the Pro plan, on which a bot runs 24/7. When a friend who came by your personal link first pays for Pro or Max, you get a week of Pro; when they publish their first project, a day of Pro. Your friend gets a day of bot time as a gift. Without invitations Pro is paid: from $4.99 a month.

- On Netrun, for every invited friend who first pays for Pro or Max, the inviter gets a week of Pro.
- For every invited friend who publishes a first project, the inviter gets a day of Pro; there is no limit on the number of friends.
- The invited friend gets a day of bot time on top of the free time on the Free plan.
- If the inviter is already on a paid plan, the gifted days are added to the paid term.
- Your own accounts under another email do not count, and such invitations earn nothing.

The Pro plan keeps a bot running around the clock and lifts the time limit of the Free plan, where a bot runs for 3 hours. Pro is normally paid once for a month, three months or a year. But you can also earn it instead of buying it: a friend who pays for a plan brings you a week of Pro, and a friend who just publishes a project brings a day.

Signing up alone is not enough: rewards come for what your friend actually does — publishing a project and paying. That way we share what a friend brings, rather than paying for empty accounts.

## 1. Open your link

In your dashboard, go to your profile and open the “Invite a friend” card. Your personal link and a copy button are there.

## 2. Send the link to a friend

Any messenger, chat or post will do. A friend who opens the link and creates an account sees on the sign-in screen that they were invited and that a gift is waiting.

## 3. Your friend publishes a first project

Your friend gets a day of bot time as a gift right away, and a day later you get a day of Pro, once we check it is a different person and not your second account.

## 4. Your friend pays for a plan

When your friend first pays for Pro or Max, you get a week of Pro. As many friends pay, as many weeks of Pro you get. If you are already on a paid plan, the days extend it.

## 5. Keep track

The same screen shows how many friends came, how many published a project, how many paid for a plan and how many days of Pro you have earned. You get a notification about every reward.

Every friend who pays for a plan gives you a week of Pro, so four such friends a month cover almost the whole month. If you would rather not wait, Pro can be bought right away — from $4.99 a month. [Try Netrun](https://netrun.io/).

## Common questions

### Can I really get Pro for free?

Yes, by inviting friends: a week of Pro for every friend who pays for a plan, and a day of Pro for every friend who publishes a project. Without invitations Pro is paid once for a month, three months or a year.

### Does a friend count if they only signed up?

No. The first reward arrives when your friend publishes a project, the second when they pay for a plan. Until then the invitation waits.

### Can I invite myself from a second email?

No. Such invitations do not count: we can tell it is the same person, and no reward is given — neither for publishing nor for paying.

### Is there a limit on the number of friends?

No. Every friend who pays for a plan gives a week of Pro, and every friend who publishes a project gives a day of Pro.

### Can I use Pro for free?

Yes, by inviting friends. Your profile has an “Invite a friend” section with your personal link. When a friend signs up with it and publishes their first project, a day later you get a day of Pro, and when they first pay for Pro or Max, a week of Pro more. Your friend gets a day of bot time as a gift. If you are already on a paid plan, the days are added to it. There is no limit on the number of friends. Your own accounts under another email do not count.

### What is different about the Pro plan?

On the Pro plan your project runs around the clock: a website does not sleep and responds instantly, with no pause to wake up, while a bot or a background script keeps running with no time limit. On top of that, Pro gives more memory, CPU and disk space, and a Pro website can use your own domains — as many as you need, each with HTTPS.
