Referly

Referly's CSV importer maps your Everflow affiliates, referral links and commission rates. Free on every plan.

Referly is an Everflow alternative for running your own affiliate program with published pricing. Everflow's pricing sits behind a "Request Personalized Pricing" form that asks your affiliate payout volume and business type before any number appears. Referly is $75/mo up to $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue and $149/mo up to $30,000, tracking Stripe and Shopify.

Credit where due

Where Everflow is the right answer

We say what they do well before we say what they do not. That is the reason you can believe the rest of the page.

Everflow is built for partner marketing at a scale this page's buyer may never need: multi-advertiser network management, agency operations, publishers, and an analytics layer priced and specced for teams whose payouts run to seven figures. Its own pricing form tells you who it serves. The volume options run from "No payouts yet" to "$1M+", and Brand is one of four buyer types alongside Network, Agency and Publisher.

If you are running an affiliate network or a performance agency rather than one program, Everflow is a fair answer and Referly is the wrong shape. That distinction is the whole page.

What you actually pay

The same program, priced by both

Sticker prices compare two different things. Here is the same program run on both, with every fee included.

Quoted per buyer through a pricing form

There is no number to put in the right-hand panel, and that is the finding. Everflow quotes per buyer after a form that asks your payout volume first, so the comparison is $75 published against a price you cannot know until you have had the conversation.

Assumes the program Referly's $75 plan is sized for: $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue, 200 active affiliates, 20% commission ($2,000/mo in payouts), 100 referred orders and 5,000 tracked clicks. The same program, priced by each vendor's own published rates.

The other side

Where Everflow stops

Three real limitations, each one traceable to a sentence on their own website.

The price

No plans, prices, meters or fees are public. The route to a number is a "Request Personalized Pricing" form that profiles your payout volume and business type first.

The shape

Network tooling: multi-advertiser management, agency workflows, publisher operations. A founder running one program is the smallest of its four buyer types, served by machinery sized for the other three.

The way in

No published trial and no self-serve start. Software and numbers both arrive after a sales conversation. Evaluating it on your own schedule is not part of the model.

Free migration

Switch from Everflow without losing your history

A CSV export from Everflow carries affiliates, links and commission rates across. Free on every plan, including Startup.

  1. Scope and plan

    ~30 min

    List your campaigns, commission rules and open payouts. Decide what happens to commissions accrued but not yet paid.

  2. Export and map

    ~30 min

    Export your affiliates from Everflow as CSV. Referly's CSV importer maps affiliates, their referral links and their commission rates.

  3. Configure and import

    ~1 hour

    Recreate your commission plans in Referly, run the import, and swap the tracking script and the payment connection.

  4. Verify and go live

    3 to 7 days overlap

    Run both in parallel, compare attributed sales daily, then switch off Everflow.

What does not come across

Historic click data and per-click attribution history stay in Everflow. Referly imports your affiliates, their links and their commission rates; it does not import Everflow's click log. Commissions already accrued in Everflow should be paid out from Everflow before you switch.
