    Up to $7,500 / month in affiliate revenue; one campaign; two team members.

    Up to 500 partners: commissions, payouts, automation, AI, the API and SDKs. Or $7,990 / year.

  • EnterpriseCustom

Rewardful may suit you better if
  • You only need an affiliate or referral program on top of Stripe, and want it live within the hour.
  • Your affiliate revenue is small and a low monthly price matters more than breadth.
  • You sell through a membership, course or site-builder platform that Rewardful connects to natively.
PartnersWatch fits if
  • Affiliates are one channel among several: resellers, agencies, referral partners and white-label partners.
  • Partners sell on your behalf and need deal registration, quotes, contracts and accounts provisioned in your product.
  • You bill through Chargebee or Recurly, or need partner data synced to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive.
  • You want SDKs, an MCP server, SSO and SCIM, and training for partners, without stitching tools together.
