How much does Refersion cost?

Refersion is $39/mo on Launch ($29 billed annually) plus 3% of affiliate-driven sales, or $199/mo on Growth ($159 annually) plus 2%. Scale is custom pricing for brands above $1M GMV per year. At $10,000/mo in affiliate-driven sales, Launch comes to $339 a month. Checked 2026-08-10.

What happens when I go over the Refersion plan limit?

There is no volume limit to go over. Affiliates and conversions are unlimited from Launch. What changes is the fee, which rises continuously with sales rather than stepping. The only reason to move to Growth at $199 is the lower 2% rate or the gated features, and on rate alone that pays off around $16,000/mo in affiliate sales.

Is there a free plan or a free trial?

There is a free Marketplace listing, which puts your brand in front of affiliates but does not let you run a program. No free trial length is stated on the pricing page or homepage for the paid plans, which is unusual in this category.

Can I cancel Refersion, and do I get a refund?

Cancellation and refund terms are not published on the pricing page. If you are moving an existing roster, there is no direct Refersion importer into Referly. Migration is by CSV, which is free on every plan and carries affiliates, links and commission rates.

Does Refersion work with Stripe?

Yes. Their homepage now advertises "Easy install with Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, and more," so the older characterisation of Refersion as ecommerce-only is out of date. What remains store-shaped is the model itself: pricing is quoted against GMV and subscription mechanics like renewals and churn are not the centre of the product.

Refersion Pricing

Q: Does Refersion charge a transaction fee?

Yes. 3% of affiliate-driven sales on Launch and 2% on Growth, on top of the subscription and uncapped. Their page notes it applies to affiliate-driven sales rather than total store revenue, which is a fairer base than it could be. It is still the highest percentage in this comparison set. Referly's is 0% on every plan.

What Refersion costs once the 3% is counted

A $39 sticker, a 3% cut of every affiliate sale, and a five-fold jump to the next plan.

The meter

The subscription is a tenth of the bill

Refersion charges a percentage of affiliate-driven sales, and it is the largest one here.

Refersion is clear about the mechanism: you are charged a percentage of affiliate-driven sales, not of total store revenue. That distinction is real and worth crediting. The percentage is still 3%.

On Launch that 3% is uncapped and sits on top of the $39 base. At $10,000/mo in affiliate sales the fee is $300 and the bill is $339. The next published rung is Growth at $199/mo plus 2%, which only becomes the cheaper option past roughly $16,000/mo.

The steep line is the 3%. A percentage of sales does not step. It climbs continuously, which is why the gap widens rather than jumping.

The fees on top

One fee, and it is the largest percentage in this comparison set.

3% of affiliate-driven sales (Launch)

$300/mo at $10,000 in affiliate sales; $600 at $20,000

Charged on top of the $39 subscription with no upper bound. Their page is explicit that it applies to affiliate-driven sales rather than total store revenue, which is a meaningfully narrower base than it could be.

2% of affiliate-driven sales (Growth)

$200/mo at $10,000 in affiliate sales

The rate drops on the $199 plan, so total cost crosses over around $16,000/mo in affiliate sales. Below that, Launch's higher percentage still beats Growth's higher base.

Marketplace listing: free

A public brand listing in the Refersion Marketplace costs nothing and is a genuine recruitment channel. It is not a program plan, so you still need Launch or above to run one.

Referly's own fees, in the same format: 0% transaction fee on every plan, meaning no cut of sales, affiliate revenue or commission volume. Two optional charges do carry a percentage and neither is a transaction fee: agency client billing at 5% / 2.5% / 1%, only if an agency invoices its clients through Referly, and Referly Payouts at 5% bank/ACH and 8% card, only if you use the managed payout rail.

Plan boundaries

What's included, and what's on a higher plan

The Launch plan is generous on volume and thin on control.

Features and the plan each one starts on
Feature		Starts on
Unlimited affiliates and conversions		Launch ($39), included
Advanced tracking by product and customer email		Growth ($199)
API access		Growth ($199)
30+ marketing app integrations		Growth ($199)
White-glove onboarding		Scale (custom)
A rate below 2% of affiliate-driven sales		Not available on any published plan

Referly gates things too, and on the same basis: automated payouts, EU self-billing invoices, W-9/W-8 collection and the custom portal domain all start on Business at $149. Coupon tracking and link tracking are on every plan, and sub-affiliate tiers are 2 levels, not unlimited.

Is Refersion worth the money?

Refersion is good value if

Affiliate-driven sales are under about $1,200/mo, where $39 plus 3% beats a flat $75
The free Marketplace listing is a recruitment channel you'd actually use
You're a DTC store on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce or Magento
Unlimited affiliates and conversions at the entry price matters more than the rate

It stops being good value when

Affiliate sales pass roughly $1,200/mo and the 3% overtakes a flat fee entirely
You need the API or per-product tracking, both of which cost $199
You sell subscriptions, where renewals and churn sit outside a store-shaped model
You reach $10,000/mo referred and the bill is $339 for what a flat plan does for less

Referly is $75/mo with a 0% transaction fee and caps at $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue on Startup. It takes no percentage of any sale on any plan, tracks Stripe subscriptions alongside Shopify orders, and includes API access on every plan rather than gating it behind a $199 tier.

Referly is $264/mo less at this size, which is $3,168 over a year.

Refersion's plan is picked as the cheapest total at your volume, so it switches from Launch to Growth automatically around $16,000/mo. The free Marketplace listing is not a program plan and is excluded.

At $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue with 200 affiliates and a 20% commission, Refersion comes to $339/mo on Launch and Referly to $75/mo on Startup. Drag the sliders to your own numbers.
