ReferralCandy vs Referrizer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ReferralCandy if

• Fits if you want your customers to refer friends for a reward
• Works for stores running a small affiliate or ambassador program next to referrals

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if referred sales are big on Basic, as its success fee is 10.5% of each referred customer's first three orders
• Tight if you run several stores, as each extra one is $20 a month plus the fee
• Not for you if you want a yearly discount, as billing is month to month only
• Watch out: PayPal, Venmo and bank payouts carry the provider's own fees on top
• Tight if you want a long trial: it's 7 days, and the listing doesn't say whether a card is needed

Pick Referrizer if

• Fits if you run a gym, studio or other local business and want referrals and texts together
• Works for owners who want follow-up on leads without a separate tool

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want an affiliate network or partner payouts, as it is built around customer referrals
• Not for you if you need a clear price, as none could be read
• Watch out: extra emails, call minutes and texts beyond the plan are billed
• Tight if you want to leave easily, as cancelling is done by emailing support

ReferralCandy

• Each plan adds a success fee of 10.5%, 3.5%, 1.5% or 0.25% of referred new customers' first three orders, after discounts and before tax and shipping.
• Each extra store costs $20 a month plus the main store's success-fee rate.
• PayPal, Venmo and bank-transfer payouts carry the provider's own fees; Tremendous cards and store credit do not.
• Billing is month to month only; no yearly price is listed.

Referrizer

• Prices could not be read: the main site returned a block page and the help center lists no plan prices.
• Each plan includes set amounts of emails, call minutes and text credits; extra usage is billed at the plan's rates.
• Not an affiliate network or partner-payout system; it is built around customer referrals and offers.
• Cancelling an account is done by emailing support.
