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.
Refgrow
Affiliate tracking with no cut of referred revenue
Refgrow tracks affiliates for a subscription product and states plainly that it takes no percentage of what they generate, which is the difference that matters once a program starts working. The affiliate portal is hosted for you and an embeddable widget puts signup inside the product. Payouts go out through PayPal or Wise. The cheapest plan covers one program, so anybody running separate schemes for creators and agencies is on the tier above from the start.
Our note
The no-transaction-fee line is the thing to hold against the percentage-based platforms, because it means a successful program does not quietly become the most expensive tool you own. Count your programs before choosing the tier, since one program is a real limit rather than a soft one.
Rewardful
Affiliate programs built on top of Stripe
Rewardful attaches an affiliate program to a business that already bills through Stripe or Paddle, and the install really is two scripts. Commissions adjust themselves when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades or cancels, which is the part people get wrong doing it in a spreadsheet. It sees only what those two processors see, so a Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy checkout sits outside it.
