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.
Run an affiliate programme without a platform fee
LeadDyno is affiliate tracking for a business that wants its own programme rather than a listing on somebody's network: affiliates get a link and a dashboard, commissions are calculated on your rules, and payouts run from the same place. Pricing is a flat monthly fee by feature tier rather than a share of the sales it tracks, which matters once the programme works. Recruiting affiliates is still entirely your problem.
Our note
Count how many commission structures you need before picking a tier, because that single limit is what forces the jump from $49 to $129 and it is easy to miss when comparing feature lists. Against a platform that takes a percentage, this pays off once tracked sales pass a few thousand a month.
Affiliate programs for startups, priced by payout
Tolt runs an affiliate program for a subscription business: a branded portal for partners, tracking that survives a Stripe checkout, and payouts that go out automatically rather than as a monthly chore. Tiers are drawn around how much affiliates earn each month rather than how many of them there are, so recruiting widely costs nothing until the recruiting works. Affiliates and referrals are uncapped on every plan. Automatic payouts carry a processing fee on top of the subscription.

Our note
Work out which payout band you will land in before comparing this with a per-affiliate tool, because the tier boundary is the whole price and it moves with success rather than with effort. Pick Rewardful or FirstPromoter instead if you want Stripe-native tracking above all else; pick this if the branded partner portal is what you are buying.
