How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo prices are published: Launch, Growth and Enterprise are all quoted after a demo, based on program size, features and support. So there's no monthly figure for a business whose affiliates bring in $5,000, and with nothing to compare, it sits at C. | BGraded on $5,000 a month of affiliate sales, which fits Starter's $7,500 cap: $490 a year on yearly billing ($49 monthly), and Rewardful takes 0% of revenue.

Worth knowing
PartnerStack
- No prices are published: Launch, Growth and Enterprise are quoted after a demo, based on program size, features and support.
- Launch includes either affiliate link tracking or lead and deal registration, not both; Enterprise unlocks every partner motion.
- Vendors pay commissions in US dollars or euros only, though partners can withdraw in their local currency.
- Every plan starts with a demo and guided onboarding, and PartnerStack says most teams are running within weeks.
Rewardful
- Plans are capped by affiliate-attributed revenue: Starter stops at $7,500 a month, and higher revenue moves you to a higher tier.
- Rewardful takes 0% of revenue, but optional Managed Payouts cost 3% of payouts, and affiliates may pay withdrawal fees.
- Starter has one campaign and two team members; a branded portal, custom domain and invite-only campaigns need Growth.
- Phone support and one-click PayPal payouts are on Enterprise only.
Key features
PartnerStack

- Onboarding and training
- Onboarding flows, content, automated emails and in-app messages, challenges and tiers, with a learning management system and MDF payments on Growth.
- CRM and billing sync
- Two-way sync with Salesforce and HubSpot, billing connections to Stripe or Chargebee for recurring revenue, an API, and an AI assistant with an MCP connector.
Rewardful
- Stripe and Paddle billing sync
- Commissions adjust on their own when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades, cancels, gets a refund or starts a free trial, and Rewardful data shows inside the Stripe dashboard.

- Flexible commissions
- Set percentage or fixed commissions, one-time or recurring, with your own cookie length, first- or last-touch attribution, double-sided incentives and minimum payout thresholds.
- Affiliate portal
- Affiliates sign up and find their links, codes, earnings and an assets library of logos and copy; Growth and Enterprise brand it on your own domain.
- Payouts
- Pay affiliates in bulk through PayPal or Wise, or hand payouts to Rewardful's Managed Payouts, which charges a 3% processing fee.
- Fraud checks and API
- Suspected self-referrals are flagged and deactivated automatically, and a REST API on every plan supports a white-labeled program.
