Railway referral program
railway.comYes
Branded as an affiliate program but open to every Railway user, with the link sitting in the dashboard — so in practice it works as both a friend referral and a revenue share.
We hold no Railway referral link
This one is not open to everyone. Whether you can invite anybody depends on your account, and it is offered in-product rather than advertised.
Share your Railway invite link
We hold no link for this one — nobody can have an account everywhere. Add yours and it goes in front of the next person who asks.
If we already hold a link for this one, yours goes on file rather than live — we swap it in if it turns out to be the better offer.
