- No free trial is mentioned on the pricing page.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Refersion runs affiliate and influencer programs for stores on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce or Magento, with a marketplace where affiliates can find you and payouts by PayPal, Venmo or ACH. Launch looks cheap at $29 a month on yearly billing. It's the 3% of affiliate sales on top that adds up, and there's no free trial.

- **Value for money: C.** Graded on $5,000 a month of affiliate sales: Launch is $29 a month on yearly billing plus 3% of those sales ($150), so $179 a month. That's on the dear side here, where tools with no cut cost less at this size. Monthly billing makes Launch $39.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on the pricing page. The free Marketplace Listing only shows your offer: tracking sales, approving affiliates and paying them all need a paid plan.
- **Features: B.** Plug-in apps for four store platforms, tracking by link and code (and by email or SKU on Growth), product-level and lifetime commissions, a marketplace, post-purchase recruiting, and payouts by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH or gift card with US tax forms. The whole job.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's a plug-in on Shopify or BigCommerce, and coupons are made for you there, but you still set commissions, recruit affiliates and set up payouts.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Magento, plus Stripe, Chargebee, Klaviyo and Mailchimp. The API and 30+ integrations wait for Growth. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Refersion you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. 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: 12 of the 14 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher. It costs $348 a year.

- You could not: Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
