Credit where due
Where Refersion 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.
Refersion enters at $39/mo, below Referly's $75, with unlimited affiliates and conversions from the first plan, and it runs a real marketplace: a free brand listing puts your program in front of affiliates who are already looking, which is a supply side most of this category lacks entirely. The ecommerce pedigree is genuine across Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Magento, and payments and tax forms are listed platform features rather than your problem.
Under roughly $1,200/mo in affiliate-driven sales, $39 plus 3% genuinely costs less than Referly's $75. That band is real and this page concedes it. But it is a narrow one: the 3% is uncapped, so the same program at $10,000/mo costs $339, and the ladder's only other published rung, Growth at $199 plus 2%, does not help until far past that.
What you actually pay
The same program, priced by both

The other side
Where Refersion stops
Three real limitations, each one traceable to a sentence on their own website.
The highest percentage in the category
3% of affiliate-driven sales on Launch, 2% on Growth, uncapped. At $10,000/mo that is $300 on top of the $39 base; at $20,000/mo it is $600. No other vendor here takes 3%.

The ladder's cliff
The step after $39 Launch is $199 Growth, a five-times jump that also holds the API and per-product, per-customer-email tracking hostage until you take it.

The fee model, and it compounds. Refersion charges a base subscription plus a percentage of affiliate-driven sales, 3% on Launch, 2% on Growth, with no upper bound, so at $10,000/mo it costs about $339. Referly is $75/mo flat with a 0% transaction fee at the same volume. The more your affiliates sell, the further those two models drift apart.
