Best for referral marketing for ecommerce and finance brands
Mention Me runs referral programs for ecommerce and finance brands. Its pricing page says you pay only for referrals you generate, but it gives no rates or minimums and wants a form filled in. There's no self-serve plan for small programs.
Who Mention Me is for
- 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
Who Mention Me is not for
- 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

Keep Mention Me, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mention Me you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 44 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- It plugs into other products, Klaviyo, Emarsys and Attentive among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Mention Me’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Mention Me?
Mention Me is a referral marketing platform for consumer brands, mostly in ecommerce, fashion, finance, travel and food. It runs refer-a-friend campaigns, identifies customers who already recommend the brand, and passes referral data to email and paid-media tools. Pricing is set per customer and is not published.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the pricing page says costs are custom and tied to referral volume, and a demo request is the route to a quote.
- 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.
Key features
- Referral campaigns
- Refer-a-friend programs that can be tailored by customer segment and location, with ongoing testing and optimisation across the network.
- Name Share
- A feature the vendor says shows referrals that happen by word of mouth outside a link, so brands can see recommendations they would otherwise miss.
- Referral data in your stack
- Direct connections to platforms such as Emarsys, Klaviyo, Attentive and Ometria, plus an API and webhooks for other systems.
- Lookalike audiences
- Referral data can be fed to paid channels such as Meta to build lookalike audiences from a brand's most active advocates.
- Benchmarks and managed service
- The vendor offers competitor benchmarks and says a referral expert supports each program, with an outsourced option.
