We are getting a great amount of referred sales from our affiliates and referrals, which really helps boost our revenue at a reasonable cost of the software subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GrowthHero?

You can do A Lot with this program. They are continually updating to improve. The interface looks nice and is mostly easy to navigate but remembering how to get around and do what you need has been time-consuming, especially with the constant changes.

Karolina spent a lot of time helping us work through an issue that was not connecting properly. Because of the email only back and forth, it took a lot of time to iron everything out but she stuck with us until a solution was provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

Not easy to use for a beginner or even someone with general skills trying to get over the learning curve.

Customer service is email Only and can take time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrowthHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are hoping to use the system mainly for partner management and a bit of affiliate marketing. The way the tree builds out as far as who is actually level 1 and so on down the line is a bit confusing but we are making it work. It is very helpful to see a tree of who is connected where but the layout tree is still a little confusing. It is not overtly apparent who is with who. You really have to look closely and click through to be sure you understand what you are looking at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

I dislike everything, its trash. They refused to give a refund that they should have because of how much time and money we wasted. But the strong armed me and wouldnt give me refund when it was a complete failure and didnt even work with our site. We didnt even start it and they still charged us. what a joke. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GrowthHero?

Enables affiliate partnerships. Very easy to set up the partnerships and create unique accounts as needed. Karolina is an amazing help for a techno-dummy like me. Response times are amazing, always within a couple of hours. None of the automated messaging and run-around that so many help centres use. GrowthHero has real people helping real people. How refreshing! And very much appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

The overview for calculating affiliate commissions is not great. We screen shot the orders and create a new file for our affiliate, which does not look very professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrowthHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. More market exposure through a website with much higher traffic than our site.

2. Since our marketing budget is effectively zero, GH enables us to offer a commission to our affiliate partner(s). We only pay if there is a sale, which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GrowthHero?

Growth Hero is a reasonable yet excellent solution to scale your affiliate or ambassador programs. We've been using them for under a year and have been able to scale our affiliates from 10 to 500 in 6 months. They also introduce new features to improve the experience regularly, and the customer service is absolutely on point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

I wish they had a messaging service to reach out to ambassadors directly and have a conversation within the platform. However, it does integrate with Klaviyo to tackle that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrowthHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us drive revenue through some of our most loyal customers who have become active ambassadors. So it's easier to track their performance and activate them during our essential promotions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GrowthHero?

I am SO happy I found Growth Hero. I needed a simple but powerful tool to track my affiliates, ambassadors, etc in Shopify. Originally, I tried using Refersion since I have a subscription cart that doesn't sync with Growth Hero. But, it was so much more money for less functionality and that was so frustrating. If you don't have a subscription side (or are using Shopify's new in-cart subscription) then Growth Hero is all you will ever need and comes with the flexiblity to run multiple types of programs (affiliate commissions by group, ambassador coupon codes, even MLM-like functions and tiered rewards) and offers a nice interface for your partners to use. I especially liked that I could customize the sign-up forms so much. Obviously, to match my brand, but beyond that with helpful text in all the right places. Best of all, they don't take a freaking % of your sales just for being a part of your tracking tech. Love this tool!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

I SO wished they had a proper tracking pixel available. I would have been able to get my subscription transactions to record via Google Tag Manager if they just had a tracking pixel that I could set to fire in my external cart. Because of that I had to manually track some transactions. But, now that the subscription tools are moving in-cart that shouldn't be a probelm for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GrowthHero:

If you are wondering if it's too good to be true that it could be a good tool because it's so much less expensive than other tools DON'T WORRY. It's even better than them! Go for it : ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrowthHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's so frustrating to have to give up a % of my sales to tracking tech or to pay hundreds for the app. I'm so grateful that GrowthHero made a beautiful tool that is also powerful and still fairly priced. I wish them all the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Another payment method is missing; bulk modifications on the orders could be a plus, especially with big companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GrowthHero?

This app is simply THE BEST CHOICE for affiliate marketing. It has TONS of great features (affiliate hunt being my favorite) and Karolina from support is quick to respond and help with the setup. I can even schedule a 1-1 call to better understand how each feature works and get recommendations regarding best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrowthHero?

The customization of some pages (such as partner's dashbaord) isn't very intuitive, but help articles help a lot in understanding how to do this on my own without the need to contact support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrowthHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Help me find new affiliates and promote my affiliate program to a wider audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
