Turn your biggest fans into your best marketers. Rewardful is a simple way for SaaS companies to setup affiliate and referral programs with Stripe.
Built from the ground up for subscriptions, Rewardful automatically adjusts commissions for downgrades, upgrades, free trials, cancellations and refunds.
👋Hello Product Hunt — we’re excited to show you Rewardful!
We started Rewardful to make it simple and affordable for bootstrappers and early-stage SaaS companies to setup affiliate and referral programs.
Current affiliate software is expensive, clunky, and usually handles subscription billing as an after-thought. Rewardful is affordable, ultra simple, and focuses exclusively on subscription-based billing with Stripe. Just connect with Stripe, drop in a few lines of code, and you're all set.
We want referral marketing to be available to companies of all sizes, so we’ve included a performance-based pricing plan starting at $0. There’s no fixed fee — you pay nothing until your affiliate program is profitable, which removes the biggest barrier to getting started.
Here’s a highlight of some of Rewardful’s best features so far:
✅Customer lifecycle tracking built for subscription billing: We handle recurring commissions, trial periods, upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and refunds.
✅Deep Stripe integration with our two-way Stripe sync: We make Rewardful data easily accessible directly from your Stripe dashboard, and everything in Rewardful links back to Stripe.
✅Simple, clean URL parameters that link directly to your root domain (ie. getrewardful.com?via=justin). No ugly redirects or 3rd party subdomains.
✅Link to any page on your domain. No need to generate a new affiliate link.
✅Affiliate link A/B testing: affiliates can create as many vanity URLs as they want, allowing them to measure the effectiveness of different marketing channels
✅Reminder emails when it’s time to pay affiliates
We have a LOT of other cool stuff waiting in the pipeline too — stay tuned!
🎉 To celebrate our launch on Product Hunt, we’re offering the first 6-months free for anyone that signs up and installs before August 31. Note: you need to click the Product Hunt link or follow this URL to activate the offer: https://www.getrewardful.com/?vi...
@kylefox Love this! I've been looking into affiliate program builders for awhile and they're all quite expensive or harder to set up. You're definitely a top pick for us over at https://findaffiliateprograms.co...

@kylefox Just 2 lines and you are sorted. Amazing product :)
Few thoughts if you are planning to B2B sales :
a) Reach out to recently funded SaaS start-ups. Since they have raised funding, they will have to strengthen their user base. Product like yours will be best for them.
b) Reach out to SaaS companies who are hiring for marketing, performance marketing and product managers. Since these companies are willing to invest money in product and marketing, Rewardful will be best for them.
@kylefox Hey Kyle, is the performance-based pricing plan still available? I looked on the site and all of them seem to start at a set price, regardless of having 0 affiliates or more.
We switched to Rewardful about a month ago and have been loving it. It's such a welcome change from the clunky, complex and stale feel of most affiliate platforms.
Pros:
Incredibly simple to use, far easier on the eyes than any other affiliate platform 😍
Cons:
None. It does what it says on the box, and it does so beautifully.
We went looking for an affiliate system at Podia a while ago and the options ranged from 'terrible' to 'expensive AND terrible'. The affiliate systems we looked at didn't seem to belong to the modern Stripe-based subscription world.
Like, why couldn't this all happen transparently by connecting to our Stripe account?
Kyle had that thought and ran with it. I love where Rewardful has ended up
Oh wow, it's just literally two lines of code?
I remember @kylefox mentioning he was working on this a while back, but I never envisioned how easy it would be to use. Can't wait to use this when I next want to spin up an affiliate program.
Looks killer, props Kyle 🙌
Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective marketing channels for MANY SaaS businesses, but for some reason, affiliate software tends to either be (1) prohibitively expensive for smaller companies or (2) confusing and ugly.
(2) wouldn't be such an issue if it were just an internal tool, but our affiliates have to use this software, too, so having something that's easy to use and polished-looking is really important.
I didn't think we'd find something like that without ponying up for one of the (1) options, but Rewardful saved the day.
We love it, our affiliates love it, and I'm happy to see it on here today.
Congrats @kylefox and @bradycassidy!
I'd pondered & also did some initial research on this problem for quite some time, Even thought of building initial MVP but never found the time. I feel bad that I didn't make it, at the same time I feel great at least someone made it. Kudos :). I'm definitely going to use it in my current SaaS application.
Are there plans to support Paddle.com in near future? We don't have Stripe in our country.
@bilalbudhani To be honest it was a lot more work than I was expecting at first, haha! Unfortunately we don't have any immediate plans to integrate with Paddle, sorry 😞But it's something we might consider for the future.
@bilalbudhani By the way, Paddle has their own built-in affiliate feature. However, there's almost no information about it on their website, and I've heard from a couple Paddle users that it's extremely basic with limited functionality. Have you checked it out?
@kylefox I'm sure you must have put a lot of hard work before bringing this product to us. I can understand supporting another platform would require significant effort from your side. Thanks for considering thou.
@kylefox oh I see. I did not have any notion that they support affiliate feature as well. It can be also because I've not explored Paddle.com completely, I'm in infancy state right now with their platform. I will look into this feature as well, thanks for pointing it out.
@bilalbudhani@kylefox As a paddle customer having tried their referral feature, I confirm it is very basic, and a lot more complex to understand than what it should be. It's fine as you get it for free along all other Paddle features, but I'd certainly not recommend it on itself.
🔥 AWWW YEAAH! Kyle demoed this for me back in April and we started using it with Transistor soon after.
If you run a SaaS this is everything you've wanted in affiliate software:
- simple setup
- deep integration with Stripe
- well-designed
This is an area that's ripe for disruption. Rewardful is going to be the new standard. 👍
