In their own words
GrowSurf
GrowSurf provides referral and affiliate program software for marketing and product teams. Referral programs can issue one-time rewards such as gift cards, cash, or credits; affiliate programs support recurring commissions. The software creates referral links and can automate gift-card, cash, account-credit, and PayPal payouts. Teams can install it with a copy-and-paste code snippet, and GrowSurf says a referral program can be launched within a day. It lists 61 integrations, including Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, PayPal, Zapier, and webhooks, alongside a REST API, webhooks, SDKs, API libraries, embeddable elements, and an MCP server. The free affiliate plan has no monthly subscription and charges a 3% success fee. Startup is $125 a month billed yearly or $179 a month billed monthly; both support up to 2,500 participants. Paid plans include a 14-day trial. Referral pricing depends on participant limits, and exceeding a tier can trigger an automatic prorated upgrade.
