Your business is in good hands
FirstPromoter has been great, been loving the new update – much more cleaner and the new way of coupon codes is a game changer. Tracking is great and shows all numbers that needs to be seen!
Co-founder at Submagic
Customer service has been excellent, and the platform itself is very sleek and intuitive. For a growing affiliate program, it’s perfect!
Marketing and Partnership Manager at CustomGPT
It’s gotten a lot easier since the launch of V2 for sure! Honestly, our work with FirstPromoter currently is very low since we have everything set up: new affiliates get onboarded automatically and we offer to have a call with them. Rest of the work is: go through new applications once a week, check out data at least once a month, send out emails to affiliates if we do campaigns/have product releases.

Common questions
Rewardful is built for SaaS and integrates with Stripe and Paddle Classic, not Paddle Billing. Reditus pairs affiliate tracking with a B2B marketplace; Stripe is its only native billing integration, and other providers connect through its API.
Rewardful’s plans are $49, $99 and $149+ a month, priced by affiliate-driven revenue. Reditus’s Growth plan is $149 a month, or $99 a month billed annually, for up to $60,000 in affiliate-generated ARR.
Rewardful offers optional Managed Payouts on every plan for a 3% processing fee. Reditus’s automated payouts carry a 5% fee by card or 2% by invoice, and Reditus doesn’t handle US tax forms like the W-9.
FirstPromoter is built for subscription businesses. It connects natively to Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly and Braintree and collects W-9 and W-8BEN forms in the platform, from $49 a month. See FirstPromoter vs Rewardful and FirstPromoter vs Reditus.
