Rewardful is affiliate marketing software built for SaaS businesses that bill through Stripe or Paddle.
It gives you the essentials of a great affiliate program: accurate recurring commission tracking, flexible campaigns, and straightforward payouts—without the complexity or revenue-share fees of enterprise platforms.
Launch your program without building tracking, commission logic, or payout workflows from scratch. Reward the partners, creators, and customers who drive revenue, and keep commissions accurate as subscriptions upgrade, downgrade, renew, or cancel.

Why SaaS Teams Choose Rewardful
Commissions Stay Accurate as Customers Change Plans
Subscriptions change. Customers upgrade, downgrade, start trials, cancel, and request refunds.
Rewardful keeps commission records aligned with those changes, with recurring or one-time, fixed or percentage-based rewards. Connect Stripe or Paddle for billing; with Stripe, two-way sync lets you view affiliate data directly in your Stripe dashboard.
Launch Without a New Engineering Project
Connect your billing provider, configure a campaign, and add Rewardful to your site. Use a pre-built integration where available, or copy and paste the required scripts.
Cometly set up Rewardful in around an hour, then used affiliates to launch from $0 to $53.8k MRR in its first week.
More Control for the People Running Your Affiliate Program
Create campaigns with different commission structures, cookie windows, payout terms, and affiliate groups. Affiliates get a branded portal to access links and track earnings; your team manages affiliates, referrals, campaigns, and performance from one dashboard.
It is simple enough for a founder to launch, with the control a growing marketing team needs.
Costs Stay Predictable as You Grow
Rewardful plans start at $49/month, then scale to $99/month and $149+/month based on affiliate-generated revenue. There are 0% transaction fees, no setup fees, and no long-term contracts.
AddSearch cut its affiliate software costs by nearly 90% after moving from PartnerStack to Rewardful.
Make Affiliate Payouts Easier to Manage
Rewardful tracks what you owe affiliates and supports PayPal and Wise mass payouts. With Managed Payouts, eligible programs can fund one invoice while Rewardful handles the payment logistics.
Managed Payouts has separate eligibility requirements and a 3% processing fee.
Attribute Sales Beyond an Affiliate Link
Not every referral happens through a trackable URL. For podcasts, YouTube, Instagram, and community recommendations, affiliates can share a code instead. Rewardful’s coupon code tracking attributes the sale when a customer redeems that code, alongside standard affiliate links.
