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.
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.
Our note
The absence of a free tier is the thing to weigh, since it means committing before seeing whether your audience shares at all. If that matters more than the flat rate, start with a tool that has one and move here when the referral loop is proven to work.
Prefinery
Waitlists where position moves on referrals
Prefinery runs the waitlist you put up before launch and gives every signup a queue position that improves when they bring somebody. That mechanic is the product, and the rest is the plumbing around it: the embedded form, the emails, the fraud checks and the export. It bills on how many people join.
Our note
Buy this for the referral queue, not for the email sending, and check the numbers against what a waitlist is worth to you: $49 a month is cheap for a launch and expensive for a list that sits still.
