Refgrow

Refgrow is affiliate software for SaaS and AI products with a partner network built in. Where most tools stop at a hosted portal, Refgrow also ships an embeddable widget, so your users can join your program and see their earnings without leaving your app. Billing connects to Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar and Dodo, which makes it one of the few options for products sold through the newer merchant-of-record platforms.

All plans include unlimited affiliates and unlimited referral revenue with no transaction fees, a REST API and webhooks, multi-tier commissions, fraud protection, coupons and a hosted portal. The AI Recruiter finds partners for you, with a monthly search allowance that grows with the plan. White-label options open up on Business and above, and auto payouts by PayPal or Wise are available from Pro.

Starter is $29 a month for one program and five AI searches. Pro is $49 for three programs, 25 searches and three team members. Business is $99 for ten programs and 50 searches, and Enterprise is $199 for 30 programs, 200 searches and unlimited team members. Paying yearly gives two months free. The trial is seven days and requires a card.

For a bootstrapped product, Refgrow is the cheapest credible way to run a program with no revenue ceiling. Larger teams will want the payout automation and support that pricier tools include.
