Which one is for you
Pick FirstPromoter if
- Fits if you bill through Chargebee, Recurly or Braintree rather than just Stripe
- Works for programs mixing affiliates, influencers and customer referrals, with commissions up to three tiers deep
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if your affiliates bring in a bit over $5,000 a month, as Starter stops there
- Skip it if you run an online store rather than a subscription business
- Not for you if you need white-labeling, SSO or managed payouts without an Enterprise deal
- Tight if you're on Starter: 1,000 affiliates, three campaigns, and no custom dashboard or email domain
- Watch out: the AI assistant and MCP server are still in beta, and Enterprise tiers above $15,000 are priced through sales
Pick Reditus if
- Fits if you run B2B SaaS and want referrals inside your product and an affiliate program in one tool
- Works for programs below $60K of ARR on the entry plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your program is over $60K ARR, where the plan jumps to $399 a month
- Tight if you want flexibility: Scale Up and Enterprise are annual only, on a 12-month term
- Pricey if you want help, as a guided launch is $2,500 one-time and done-for-you starts at $2,750 a month
- Watch out: a featured marketplace listing is $150 a month on top of the plan

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
