RefRef vs Reditus
No ARR tiers, no 2% to 5% payout fees, and room for ecommerce.
Reditus pairs an in-app referral program with a B2B SaaS affiliate network, and RefRef is the open-source option that also covers ecommerce and loyalty. Reditus moves you up a plan as referred ARR passes $60K and adds 2% to 5% to managed payouts; RefRef prices by active participants and charges nothing on your own payout rail.
