How much does Rewardful cost?

Rewardful costs $49/mo on Starter for up to $7,500/mo in affiliate revenue, $99 on Growth for up to $15,000, and $149+ on Enterprise above that. All plans include a 0% transaction fee and a 14-day trial, and annual billing gives two months free. Checked 2026-08-10.

What happens when I go over the Rewardful plan limit?

You move to the next tier. Crossing $7,500/mo in affiliate revenue takes you from Starter at $49 to Growth at $99, a doubling triggered by $1 of extra revenue. Crossing $15,000 moves you to Enterprise at $149 or more, which is demo-gated rather than self-serve.

Does Rewardful charge a transaction fee?

No. Rewardful advertises a 0% transaction fee on every plan and it is genuine: no percentage of sales, affiliate revenue or commission volume. This is one of the better answers in the category and matches Referly's, which is also 0% on every plan.

Is there a free plan or a free trial?

There is no free plan. There is a 14-day free trial on all plans, plus a 30-day no-questions-asked refund on monthly billing, which nobody else in this price band offers and which effectively extends your evaluation to six weeks.

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

Yes to both. Their published policy: contact them within 30 days on a monthly plan and they refund with no questions asked. If you are moving an existing program, Referly ships a direct Rewardful importer that carries affiliates, links and commission rates across, free on every plan.

Does Rewardful work with Shopify?

No. Their own FAQ answers it directly: "Not at this time. We currently support only Stripe or Paddle." There is no plan or add-on that adds storefront tracking, so revenue through a Shopify or WooCommerce store is revenue the tool cannot see.

The meter

Rewardful doesn't charge per affiliate. It charges per dollar they earn you.

Affiliate revenue is the meter, and the first cliff lands at $7,500 a month.

Affiliates are unlimited on every Rewardful plan. The meter is monthly revenue attributed to affiliates, and it has two hard steps: $7,500 and $15,000.

At $7,400/mo you pay $49. At $7,600 you pay $99. That $200 of extra affiliate revenue costs you $50/mo, and nothing about your usage changed. Every vendor in this band prices this way, Referly included. Rewardful's first step is simply earlier than most.

RewardfulReferly

Both ladders at their published rates. Rewardful's Starter covers $7,500/mo and Referly's Startup covers $10,000, so between those two figures the cheaper sticker is the dearer bill.

The fees on top

There is one thing to say here and it is short, because Rewardful's answer is good.

0% transaction fee

$0 at any volume

Advertised on every plan and genuinely true: Rewardful takes no percentage of your sales, your affiliate revenue or your commission volume. Credit where it is due: this is parity with Referly, not a difference.

Payment-rail costs you still pay

Varies by rail

PayPal fees, FX spread and bank charges on affiliate payouts are yours regardless of platform. These are not Rewardful's fee and it would be misleading to present them as one, but they belong in any honest total.

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

Starter is a real plan, not a demo, but four things people expect in it are not.

Features and the plan each one starts on
Feature		Starts on
More than one campaign		Growth ($99)
More than two team members		Growth ($99)
Branded affiliate portal		Growth ($99)
Custom domain		Growth ($99)
Private invite-only campaigns		Growth ($99)
Custom rewards and custom scripts		Growth ($99)
One-click PayPal payouts		Enterprise ($149+)
Chat, email and phone support		Enterprise ($149+)
W-9 / W-8 tax-form collection		Not available on any 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 Rewardful worth the money?

Rewardful is good value if

You're under $7,500/mo in affiliate revenue, where $49 is the cheapest serious option
You bill entirely through Stripe or Paddle and expect that to stay true
One campaign and two seats is genuinely enough for how you work
You want the shortest install in the category, measured at 15 to 20 minutes

It stops being good value when

You cross $7,500/mo and the bill doubles to $99 with no change in what you get
You need a branded portal or custom domain, both of which are Growth features
You add a Shopify or WooCommerce store, which no Rewardful plan can track
You start paying US affiliates enough that W-9s matter, because no plan collects them

Referly is $75/mo and caps at $10,000/mo in affiliate revenue on Startup, the same shape of plan with a higher first cliff. What differs: it tracks Shopify as well as Stripe, collects W-9 and W-8 forms from the Business plan, includes a marketplace, and charges no per-sale fee on any plan.
