Pick Buyapowa if

• Fits if you are an enterprise marketer running several referral programs across brands
• Works for teams that want a flat licence instead of a cost per referral

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you need a price before a sales call, as the fee is quoted yearly
• Tight if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
• Too light on listed integrations: none are named on the pages read

Pick Mention Me if

• Fits if you're a consumer brand in ecommerce or finance that wants referrals
• Makes sense if you like paying per referral and will fill in a form for a quote

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, because costs are custom and tied to referral volume
• Not for you if you're a small SaaS, as no self-serve plan is described
• Watch out: the page says you only pay for referrals, but gives no rates or minimums
• Tight if you want a free trial: none is listed

Buyapowa

• No prices are published; the vendor quotes a fixed annual licence fee based on brands, products and territories.
• Pitched at enterprise marketers, so it is a poor fit for small programs.
• The vendor says it uses a zero-commission, license-based structure, so cost does not rise per referral.

Mention Me

• The site is built for consumer brands; it does not describe a self-serve plan for small SaaS programs.
• The vendor says you pay only for the referrals you generate, but the page gives no rates or minimums.
