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.
Partnero
An affiliate program billed as software
Partnero gives a business its own partner portal, signup pages and tracking links, then pays partners through PayPal or Wise without anybody exporting a spreadsheet. The fee is a flat monthly one rather than a share of what the program earns, which is the difference between this and a network. Stripe, Shopify and the other places a sale happens connect without code. One program and one team member is what the entry plan allows, and that is the ceiling most people meet first.
Our note
Work out what a percentage-based tool would take at your expected volume before comparing headline prices, because the flat fee is the entire argument for buying this one. Below roughly a thousand dollars of monthly commission the percentage tools are usually cheaper, and above it this stops being close.
Viral Loops
Referral programs from templates, per campaign
Viral Loops ships templates for the referral mechanics that already worked for somebody else, a waiting list, a milestone giveaway, a straight refer-a-friend, and lets you run one without building it. Participants import and export as a list, so it plugs into whatever you already send email with. Pricing rises with the number of participants rather than with features.
