Response from Audrey Rampon of Rewardful

Thanks for your feedback! I'm happy to let you know that our Managed Payouts service is now available. The process is greatly simplified for our users: now instead of paying affiliates yourself, you just pay a single invoice to Rewardful. Then, Rewardful will pay affiliates based on their preferred payment method. Feel free to get in touch with our Support team, and we'll walk you through the onboarding if you're interested. Have a great day!

See how Rewardful improved

"Works well and support team are very quick to answer any questions"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

The system does everything you need for setting up your own affiliate program, I tested a few different ones and this seemed to be the best compromise for features, price and how modern it looked. It was fairly easy to integrate and use. The customer support team are very responsive on the web chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

The system could allow more customisation in both the layout of the customer facing portal and potential API options for if you don't do things exactly like it expects you to.

One example is the system assumes that you always create a customer in Stripe for a free trial which we do not do as it would end up with a lot of redundant customers in there, this means that some of the reporting is not correct because the system doesn't know that a trial signup occurred, having an API call where you can pass the ID of the referred user would be helpful for people that don't run their entire setup via Stripe.

Because of the above and a few other things, we have had to do quite a bit of tweaking with CSS on the customer portal to hide certain parts to avoid any confusion for the end user, including some CSS to make the customer portal layout look correct on mobile devices, which is something that has been reported a while ago yet we had to fix it ourselves with CSS.

Adding additional options such as being able to stop affiliates from creating their own custom referral links would be good as well to make it as easy to use as possible for new affiliates, we did suggest this but the response was "It's not complicated for them to use their dashboard" which is very much a matter of opinion, yes for seasoned affiliates the concept of generating multiple referral links for different campaigns etc is perfectly normal but for people that are new to affiliate programs like some of our existing customers then giving them options to create additional links etc just causes unnecessary confusion when they are setting themselves up as an affiliate.

"Excellent referral platform that was easy to set up and integrate into my online community"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

The ease of installation and lack of coding skills required. I also like the tokens for ease of making referrals as opposed to big huge links! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

It’s pricing. Wish it was more affordable given our referral program is new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent and modern way to get into affiliate marketing"
5/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

Rewardful is incredibly easy to start affiliate marketing. The dashboard is straightforward with sane defaults, payouts are intuitaive, and it took basically no dev time to "install" since it works so flawlessly with Stripe. While we don't use the API it's very nice to have it available for future integrations with Zapier/our custom backend.

I cannot overstate how easy it was to go from signup to sending invites and getting affiliates marketing for us. The process from idea to execution could literally not be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

Small nitpick, but it's a little expensive for what it does. I'd feel like it's a no-brainer at closer to $30/mo but $50 is steep for the value we're currently getting from our affiliate campaigns. There is basically no comparable alternative, and if affiliates start rolling in I guess we wouldn't care anyway.

I would also love to see a basic "marketplace" similar to ShareASale where we can post our affiliate program to prospective advertisers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Affiliate Program Setup with Rewardful"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

Rewardful made it incredibly easy to set up an affiliate program for my service, www.tinderprofile.ai, in just a few hours. The signup page is both professional and customizable, providing a seamless experience for affiliates. I particularly appreciate the Stripe integration, which works flawlessly and enables me to track performance and payouts without hassle. The ability to use coupon codes and create custom affiliate links adds a lot of flexibility and value to my program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

While Rewardful is excellent overall, I wish there were more advanced analytics built into the platform to provide deeper insights into affiliate performance. Also, some functions are only available at higher tier subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

Rewardful is simple, cost-effective, and integrates seamlessly with Stripe, making it incredibly easy to manage affiliates and payouts. We transitioned from Impact to Rewardful, and it was the best decision for our affiliate program. Rewardful streamlined our operations with an intuitive interface and automation features. Both our team and affiliates can track performance effortlessly, reducing manual work and allowing us to focus on growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

There’s no managed payout system yet, so we’re looking forward to having this feature available to make payments even more automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mostly good experience"
4/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

it has a really competitive price and offers a lot of functionalities.

very nice that you can use if for referral and affiliate programs.

strong api docs & the webhooks feature is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

altough strong api docs, there was some information missing - like when are events actually sent. didn't know what i should be listening for.

Had to clear this info out with one of the reps. i got the answer in the end, but after a bit of friction.

also had a second account where the webhook signature was not matching with the key sent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This product is basically useless"
0/5
What do you like best about Rewardful?

It marginally fullfills a need that I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rewardful?

A lot. Fundamentally, incentives are misaligned between customers and Rewardful.

In order to test any kind of meaningful functionality, you have to pay $100/mo. Then it'll take a minute to realize whether this thing does what you want.

My expectations of a product like this are to abstract away the need to think about the logistics of managing affiliates for my products. The logistics of managing affiliates are:

1. Create an affiliate program

2. Keep track of how much I owe to affiliates per unit time

3. Make it easy for affiliates to be paid out

4. Automate away paying out affiliates

At best, Rewardful fulfills the first two of these requirements, everything else you'll have to handle yourself. This makes it so that you won't stop thinking about logistics pertaining to running your affiliate program. Their customer support is not very helpful and takes hours to respond so any hope of quick resolutions is moot. Further, set up instructions within a React web application are vague and unclear.

I've been using this product for about half a year and I will be cancelling my account shortly in favor of trying Tolt.io. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
