What's the main difference between Rewardful and Tapfiliate?

The meter. Rewardful bills on affiliate revenue: $49/mo to $7,500/mo, unlimited clicks and affiliates. Tapfiliate bills on clicks and conversions: 5,000 clicks + 500 conversions on its $74 Launch plan (annual), 50 affiliates, with overage at $1.50 per 1,000 clicks and $15 per 1,000 conversions. Two programs with identical revenue can pay completely different bills.

Which one is cheaper?

It depends on your traffic shape, not a single number. Example one: 20,000 clicks, 300 conversions, $6,000/mo affiliate revenue. Rewardful $49; Tapfiliate $74 plus $22.50 in click overage, about $96.50. Example two: 3,000 clicks, 400 conversions, $22,000/mo affiliate revenue. Rewardful is on Enterprise at $149+; Tapfiliate still $74 flat.

Does Tapfiliate work with Shopify?

Yes. Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe and 30+ ecommerce integrations, which is exactly where it differs from Rewardful. Rewardful's own FAQ limits it to Stripe or Paddle. If your checkout is a store rather than a subscription, only Tapfiliate of these two can track it.

Which is better for a high-traffic affiliate program?

Rewardful, on the meter alone: unlimited visitors and clicks on every plan, so 100,000 clicks cost the same as 1,000. On Tapfiliate the same traffic is the bill. Launch includes 5,000 clicks and charges $1.50 per additional 1,000, so 100,000 clicks add roughly $142/mo. Model your real numbers first.

Can I move between Rewardful and Tapfiliate?

Affiliates move by CSV in either direction, with one hard constraint: Rewardful only supports Stripe or Paddle, so a store-based program can't move to it at all. Moving to Tapfiliate, model your click volume against its meter before committing. Links remap on import; run both in parallel for a week.

What each one is built for

Rewardful

Rewardful is Stripe-first affiliate tracking priced on results: the bill scales with the revenue your affiliates generate, never with traffic. Unlimited affiliates and unlimited visitors on every plan mean a high-traffic, low-conversion program costs the same $49 as a quiet one. The meter only notices money. Stripe or Paddle only, by their own FAQ.

Tapfiliate

Tapfiliate is broad affiliate tracking with 30+ ecommerce integrations. Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe and more, priced on usage: clicks and conversions, with the only published overage rates in the category ($1.50 per 1,000 clicks, $15 per 1,000 conversions on Launch). High-revenue programs with modest traffic can run on its flat $74 indefinitely.

Two meters, one program: Rewardful ignores your traffic entirely, Tapfiliate ignores your revenue entirely. High traffic with modest revenue favours the revenue meter; high revenue with modest traffic favours Tapfiliate.

Monthly prices; Tapfiliate's annual billing drops Launch to $74/mo and Scale to $149/mo. Overage rates are Tapfiliate's own published numbers. They are the only vendor in the category that publishes any.

Rewardful vs Tapfiliate: which should you pick?

Choose Rewardful if

Your affiliate revenue is modest relative to your traffic
You're on Stripe or Paddle

Choose Tapfiliate if

You need MLM, deeplinks or 30+ ecommerce integrations

Links remap on import; allow a week of parallel tracking.
