Which one does Tolt's own listing recommend for Stripe-native tracking?

Rewardful. Tolt's own comparison says to pick Rewardful or FirstPromoter if Stripe-native tracking matters above all else, and to pick Tolt if the branded partner portal is what you are actually buying.

Which one gives a branded portal on the cheapest plan?

Tolt does: affiliates.yourdomain.com is included even on Basic at $69 a month. Rewardful's branded portal on your own domain only arrives at Growth, $99 a month, not on the $49 Starter plan.

Are the price bands measuring the same thing on both?

No. Rewardful bands by affiliate-driven revenue, $7,500 on Starter and $15,000 on Growth. Tolt bands by what affiliates are actually paid out, $10,000 on Basic, typically a smaller number than the revenue behind it, so the two are not directly comparable dollar for dollar.

Do automatic payouts cost extra on either?

On Tolt, yes, a 2 percent processing fee from the $99 tier up. Rewardful pays a whole cohort of affiliates in one run through PayPal or Wise with no processing fee mentioned, on every plan.

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.

Our note

Rewardful and FirstPromoter cost the same and do the same job. Choose Rewardful if you want it working in an afternoon, and FirstPromoter if the affiliate dashboard needs to look like part of your product.

Tolt

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.

Why people weigh these two

Tolt instead of Rewardful: Tolt prices by what affiliates actually get paid out rather than Rewardful's flat $49 subscription, and it does not depend on reading only Stripe or Paddle billing.
Rewardful instead of Tolt: Rewardful builds on top of Stripe at $49, quickest to start if payments already run there.

Which one should you pick

Choose Rewardful if the business already bills through Stripe or Paddle and you want commissions that adjust themselves automatically: Starter is $49 a month up to $7,500 of affiliate revenue, and every plan takes 0 percent of the transactions themselves. It sees only what those two processors see, so a Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy checkout sits outside it entirely, and the branded portal on your own domain only arrives at Growth, $99 a month.

Choose Tolt if a branded portal on your own domain matters from day one: affiliates.yourdomain.com is included even on Basic at $69 a month, while payouts to affiliates stay under $10,000. That ceiling is on what affiliates are paid, not on revenue generated, so it is not directly comparable to Rewardful's revenue-based bands. Automatic payouts carry a 2 percent processing fee from the $99 tier, which Rewardful does not charge.
