Earn extra requests by reviewing or sharing
On the free plan and running low? Two things earn you more room: a quick, honest review of Aligned, and a gift of free requests to a pastor friend. Both take a couple of minutes.

Good to know
- If G2 asks whether you were offered anything for your review, say yes. G2 still publishes it, labelled as incentivized, and your extra requests don't change.
- The extra requests give you more room on busy days for about a month. They don't raise the free plan's 200-a-month allowance, and they end quietly with no reminder.
- A gift works the same way for your friend: their extra requests are spread across the month, not all usable in one sitting.
- Once your review reward is claimed, Resources → Your account offers Give a pastor 100 credits whenever you want to send more.
- Bonuses from reviews and friends only add up so far. Past that point a new friend earns you nothing more, and Pro is the way to go further.
If it’s not working
I don't see Claim 100 extra requests
It appears once you've given an answer a thumbs-up (or told us Aligned helped), only for churches that have been using Aligned for a while, and it's gone once it's been claimed. It's offered once per church.
It says “Not eligible yet”
The reward is for churches with some real use behind them. Come back to it once you've been using Aligned for a while.
The daily limit window doesn't mention reviews any more
That's right — the offer now lives in Resources → Your account instead.
My friend's gift didn't send
Someone who already has an Aligned account can't be gifted, and your own address can't either — the panel names what happened to each address. If it says it couldn't send your gifts, try again in a moment.
My friend never got the gift email
Ask them to check spam, then to sign up at aligned.church with the same email you sent it to. The gift attaches to that address even without the email.
My window says Capterra, not G2
That's expected. While we collect our first 35 reviews on G2, half of leaders are asked for G2 and half for Capterra. A review on either site earns the same 100 extra requests.
My review isn't on G2 yet
G2's moderators check each review before it appears on the listing. That's G2's step, not ours, and your extra requests don't wait for it.
My extra requests disappeared
They run for about a month and then end quietly. That's expected, and nothing is wrong with your account.
