Comparison
AffGo vs Rewardful
Rewardful is one of the best-known affiliate tools for SaaS, built around a native Stripe integration. You connect Stripe, set a commission, and it tracks referrals against your subscriptions.
The difference that matters is not tracking — both products do that. It is what happens either side of it: where your affiliates come from, and who moves the money.
Rewardful describes itself as “All-in-One Affiliate Management Software for SaaS”. Everything on this page about them was read from their site on 16 September 2026. Products change — if something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Side by side
| AffGo | Rewardful | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding affiliates | A two-sided marketplace: creators browse programs and apply, and AI matching suggests creators whose audience fits. | Their site lists an Affiliate Finder for discovering affiliates; the program itself is one you recruit into. |
| Who pays the affiliates | You do, directly. AffGo calculates, documents and chases — it never holds your money. | Rewardful offers managed payouts and mass payouts through PayPal and Wise, so the platform can send the money for you. |
| Connecting your billing | A Stripe webhook with no backend code, a JavaScript pixel, or a server-to-server API call — so any billing stack works. | Native Stripe integration; they are a Stripe Premier Partner. |
| Commission handling | Commissions hold through your refund window, refunds claw back automatically, and each amount shows its status. | Their site lists automated refund handling and self-referral fraud detection. |
| Fees on commissions | None. A flat subscription; we take no percentage and never touch the money. | 0% transaction fees, on a subscription from $49/month at list price. |
| Starting price | $0 to start, then $59/month. See pricing | See their pricing — it is theirs to change. |
Where Rewardful is the better choice
They can pay your affiliates for you
This is the big one. Rewardful's managed payouts send money to your affiliates through PayPal or Wise. AffGo deliberately does not: you pay people directly. If you want one button that pays everybody, they have it and we do not.
A longer track record
Rewardful advertises 3,000+ teams and years of Stripe-specific work behind it. AffGo is newer, and you should weigh that.
Where AffGo is different
The affiliates come with it
Your program is listed in a marketplace creators already browse, and matching puts it in front of people whose audience fits — instead of starting with an empty program and a cold outreach list.
Nobody sits on your money
Because commissions never pass through us, there is no float, no payout fee and no platform between you and the person you are paying.
Which one you want
Choose AffGo if…
- You are starting a program and do not already have affiliates to invite
- You want creators to find you rather than recruiting every one yourself
- You are happy paying affiliates yourself, and would rather not have a platform hold the money
Choose Rewardful if…
- You want the platform to send payouts on your behalf
- Your billing is entirely Stripe and you want the deepest Stripe integration available
- You already have affiliates and only need the tracking
Moving from Rewardful
Invite your existing affiliates by email, or add them through the API, and each gets a new AffGo link. Past conversions can be imported from a CSV so your reporting keeps its history. Links issued by your old platform keep pointing there until you replace them, so run both for a cycle if that suits you.
