The Problem

82% of consumers trust referrals from friends. But building referral programs requires custom engineering — tracking links, reward fulfillment, fraud detection, and analytics. ReferralCandy charges $47+/mo with limited customization. No plug-and-play solution works for SaaS and e-commerce equally. Double-sided rewards (referrer + referred) are complex to implement.

The Solution

Referral program platform with customizable rewards, unique tracking links, fraud detection, and embeddable referral widgets — launching a complete referral program in minutes, not months.

Target Audience

SaaS companies wanting to add referral programs, D2C brands leveraging customer advocacy for growth, and subscription businesses reducing CAC through referrals
