# Invite friends

> Invite people to BenchCanvas and earn credits when they join.

You can invite friends and colleagues to BenchCanvas. It is a quick way to bring teammates on board and to top up your [credits](/credits/overview).

## Send an invite

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the invite option">
    Find the invite option in the app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share your invite">
    Send the invite to the people you want to bring in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn credits">
    You earn credits when a friend joins. See [Earning credits](/credits/earning-credits).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Inviting friends is different from [project collaboration](/collaborate/project-collaboration). Invites bring new people to BenchCanvas, while collaboration adds people to a specific project.
