What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 32 of the 44 other affiliate and referral tools we grade

Refgrow is affiliate software for SaaS companies that bill through Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Dodo Payments or Creem. It offers an embeddable referral widget, a hosted affiliate portal, coupons, fraud protection and automatic PayPal or Wise payouts. Plans are priced by how much affiliate-generated revenue they cover, with no transaction fees.

Refgrow adds an affiliate widget and hosted portal to a SaaS product billed through Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Dodo or Creem. Pro is $39 a month billed yearly. Each plan covers a fixed amount of affiliate revenue, white-label is Business only, and there is no free plan.

SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyBPro is $39 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly), right at the cheaper quarter's $39, with no transaction fees.
Free plan and trialCNo free plan. Every new account gets a free trial, and the page does not give its length or say whether a card is needed.
FeaturesCWidget, portal, coupons, payouts and fraud checks, but built for SaaS on a handful of payment providers, and white-label is Business only.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record. You connect a payment provider and set up the program and widget yourself.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb only. Six payment providers, PayPal and Wise payouts, a REST API, webhooks and an MCP server on both plans.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Refgrow is for

  • Fits if you sell SaaS through Stripe or Paddle and want the program inside your own app
  • Works for a team moving over from Rewardful, FirstPromoter or Tolt, which get a 30-day trial

Who it is not for

  • Not for you if your payment provider is not on the list, because other billing needs the REST API
  • Tight if you grow: each plan covers $10,000 or $25,000 of affiliate revenue a month, then $948 a year per extra $25,000
  • Watch out: white-label with no Refgrow branding is Business only, at $79 a month billed yearly
  • Pricey if you pay monthly: Pro is $49 and Business $99
  • Watch out: new subscription payments are non-refundable, and PayPal or Wise may add their own payout fees

Good to know

Good for

  • SaaS founders who want an affiliate program inside their app
  • Teams moving from Rewardful, FirstPromoter or Tolt

Worth knowing

  • White-label with no Refgrow branding is only on Business.
  • There is no free plan, and the page says payments for new subscriptions are non-refundable except where the law or a separate offer says otherwise.
  • PayPal, Wise and your payment provider may charge their own payout or processing fees.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Refgrow 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.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 32 of the 44 other affiliate and referral tools we grade. It costs $468 a year.

What you could not

  • Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
  • Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
  • It plugs into other products, Stripe, Paddle and Lemon Squeezy among them, and has an API.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • Hooks into the device itself: widgets.

What this rests on. Refgrow’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.
