Credit where due
Where PartnerStack is the right answer
We say what they do well before we say what they do not. That is the reason you can believe the rest of the page.
PartnerStack is not just tracking software. It is a genuine B2B SaaS partner network, with a real supply side of partners, reseller and agency partner types alongside affiliates, and a long public library of customer stories. If you are building a managed reseller channel with onboarding, enablement and a partnerships team to run it, PartnerStack is a serious answer at a scale Referly's marketplace does not pretend to match.
None of that is the question this page answers. The question is what it costs, and that answer is not public.
What you actually pay
The same program, priced by both
Sticker prices compare two different things. Here is the same program run on both, with every fee included.
Referly
- Startup plan
- $75
Startup, up to 200 active affiliates
PartnerStack
Not published
Pricing is confirmed on a sales call
Referly's side of this table is the only side that exists. PartnerStack publishes no plan, no meter and no fee, so the honest comparison is not that Referly is cheaper. It is that Referly is knowable, and you can budget for it today without booking anything.
Assumes the program Referly's $75 plan is sized for: $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue, 200 active affiliates, 20% commission ($2,000/mo in payouts), 100 referred orders and 5,000 tracked clicks. The same program, priced by each vendor's own published rates.
The other side
Where PartnerStack stops
Three real limitations, each one traceable to a sentence on their own website.
The price
Launch, Growth and Enterprise carry no prices, no meters and no fee schedule. Pricing is "confirmed during customer consultations based on partner program size, feature needs, and level of support."

The way in
There is no self-serve signup and no published trial. Every path onto the product runs through a demo form and a consultation before you see software or numbers.
