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.
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.
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.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

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.
