Making the work
Growing an audience
Running the business
Both cover affiliate & referral. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
An affiliate program that starts at nothing
GoAffPro recruits, tracks and pays affiliates on a free plan that caps neither the number of affiliates nor the sales they bring, which makes it the cheapest way to find out whether a program is worth running. Paying moves the portal onto your own branding and adds tiers, bonuses and a payout scheduler. Multi-level structures are there for anybody who wants them. The free portal carries GoAffPro's name on it, and that is the trade.
Our note
Start on the free plan and let the first payouts tell you whether the branded portal is worth $49, because the free tier is not a trial and there is no clock on it. The upgrade is worth making the moment an affiliate asks why the login screen has somebody else's name on it.
Affiliate programs built on top of Stripe
Rewardful attaches an affiliate program to a business that already bills through Stripe or Paddle, and the install really is two scripts. Commissions adjust themselves when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades or cancels, which is the part people get wrong doing it in a spreadsheet. It sees only what those two processors see, so a Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy checkout sits outside it.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Rewardful and FirstPromoter cost the same and do the same job. Choose Rewardful if you want it working in an afternoon, and FirstPromoter if the affiliate dashboard needs to look like part of your product.
