How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

GrowSurf, ReferralHero and Cello are among the tools to consider. Participant limits can matter as a program expands, and free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help clarify cost. Think about how participants will share referrals, how long activity should receive credit, and what payout process your program requires; use the listed capabilities to see how each option fits those needs.
