- Not for you if you want commission tracking or affiliate payouts
- Tight if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
- Watch out: Digital Community is the higher plan and includes everything in Customer Advocacy
Pick Referral Rock if
- Fits if you have a sales or support team that will run a referral program
- Makes sense if you want a program advisor included
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're small: the entry plan is $250 a month, with no free tier
- Watch out: extra capacity is an add-on, such as $125 a month for 10,000 more members

- Tight if you need SSO or 100,000+ members, which means Scale at a $25,000 yearly minimum

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.
