Referly is broader, and which one is cheaper depends on your revenue. Rewardful and FirstPromoter both cost $49 per month and only track subscription billing: Rewardful supports Stripe or Paddle, and FirstPromoter adds Chargebee. Referly costs $29 per month up to $1,500 a month in affiliate revenue, then $75 up to $10,000, so both are cheaper than Referly from $1,500 to $5,000 a month, and Rewardful stays cheaper up to $7,500. Referly tracks Shopify and WooCommerce as well as Stripe, collects W-9 and W-8 tax forms from the Business plan, and includes a marketplace you can recruit from.

Under $1,500 a month in affiliate revenue, usually yes. Above that, often not. Referly starts at $29 per month on Indie, which covers $1,500 a month, 50 affiliates and 100 referrals, and costs less to start than Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Tolt or Partnero. Affonso costs less below $1,000 a month, and UpPromote, BixGrow and Endorsely have free plans. From $1,500 to $10,000 a month Referly is $75, and Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Tolt, Partnero and Affonso each cost less somewhere in that range. What the extra money buys is scope: Stripe and Shopify on one program, coupon code tracking on every plan, and a payout, tax and invoicing stack from the Business plan up.

Several do, on different meters. Referly tracks both on the same program from $29 per month and bills on affiliate revenue. Rewardful supports only Stripe or Paddle, by its own FAQ. FirstPromoter tracks Stripe, Chargebee and Paddle. UpPromote and BixGrow are Shopify only. Tapfiliate covers both sides but bills on clicks and conversions, Partnero covers both and bills on programs and seats, and Refersion covers both but takes a percentage of affiliate sales.

No. Start the 14 day trial yourself, and most teams run Referly next to their current tool for a week before deciding, because both tracking scripts can run at the same time. Direct importers exist for Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Tolt, Tapfiliate, PartnerStack, Trackdesk, Partnero and Dub.

Because someone comparing two other tools is still deciding, and a straight answer earns more trust than a hidden pitch. The four bonus comparisons are labelled, every fact links to its source, and Referly stays out of them until a short disclosure at the end. When the honest verdict favours a competitor, we print it.
