Rewardful is built around Stripe, and that focus shows in the details. Its two-way sync lets you see affiliate data from inside your Stripe dashboard, and commissions adjust on their own when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades, cancels or starts a free trial. Setup is two pasted scripts or a one-click integration, and affiliate links use a simple ?via= parameter on your own domain rather than a redirect. Every plan includes unlimited affiliates, coupon code tracking, double-sided rewards, self-referral fraud detection, the REST API and multiple currencies. Pricing is tiered by the revenue affiliates bring in: Starter at $49 per month covers up to $7,500 a month, Growth at $99 covers up to $15,000, and Enterprise starts at $149. Rewardful takes 0% of that revenue, which is rare in this category. The limits sit in branding: Starter has one campaign, two team members and no branded portal or custom domain.
