Rewardful vs AffiliateTracking, with sources.

One-click PayPal payouts on Enterprise, and Managed Payouts where they handle distribution and KYC through Tipalti. It costs 3 percent on commissions paid via ACH, but if you want payouts fully out of your hands, they genuinely offer it. We stop at the approved run.

Point-and-click integrations for Bubble, Circle, Podia, Softr, Adalo and a long tail of site builders, plus a dedicated Stripe App. If your product is not a traditional SaaS stack, their surface is wider.

Founded 2017, acquired into saas.group, 3,000-plus teams, logos like Replit, beehiiv and HeyGen. Their Stripe integration is the deepest in the category, and their case studies carry real numbers. If you are Stripe-only and want the safest crowd pick, they earned it.

Their advertised fraud surface is roughly four mechanisms: self-referral detection, a manual suspicious state, traffic-source blocking and account disabling. Ours is twelve rules on every conversion, with the flagged money held and the evidence attached for you to release or uphold.

Commissions post to a double-entry ledger that cannot be edited, only reversed. Your accountant can trace every cent from click to payout. Their commission records are dashboard data; ours are journal entries.

Their recurring HN criticism is Stripe lock-in: teams left because "with only Stripe integrated for tracking it is hard to onboard businesses" outside it. We cover Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Chargebee and Recurly. Switch billers without switching trackers.

Your server, your database, zero recurring cost, no revenue tiers. Their ladder runs from $49 to $5,000 a month as your program grows. Ours has a ceiling you can buy out once.

Rewardful has no self-serve export: you email support and they send your data. Their own article says they "will absolutely do our best to export your data in a format that is convenient to you". Start here, before anything else.

We load partners, codes and rates into your review queue. One detail their docs make critical: affiliate tokens must match for old links to keep crediting. Our import preserves your tokens, and we read the ?via= parameter Rewardful links use.

Keep Rewardful alive for one payout cycle to settle what it owes. Their terms cancel tracking immediately on cancellation, and pending commissions default to 30 days before due, so timing the exit matters. New conversions flow to us from the script swap.

Cancel from the dashboard's Payments section when the cycle closes; their terms forfeit account data after cancellation, so the export you started with is your record. Most teams do the whole thing in an afternoon.
