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.
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.
