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.
GrowSurf
Referral programs priced by participant
GrowSurf runs a refer-a-friend program for a product rather than a one-off giveaway: every participant gets a link, the rewards fire automatically, and the tax paperwork on the payouts is handled. It bills on how many people are in the program rather than on how many you refer, which is unusual and worth understanding before you launch.
Our note
The pricing model is the thing to think hardest about: paying per participant is generous if your referrals convert and punishing if they do not. Run the trial with real traffic before committing to a year.

PerkZilla
Reward people for bringing their friends
PerkZilla runs the kind of campaign where a subscriber gets something for referring others: a tiered reward ladder, a share link per person, and a leaderboard if the audience responds to one. It sits on a landing page or inside an email sequence and reports who actually brought somebody. Rewards can be digital goods, discounts or access. The pricing is flat rather than metered on list size, which is unusual in this category.
