It excels at managing affiliate, reseller, and co-sell partnerships across ecosystems, but for teams who want a marketer-friendly referral engine with AI optimization and enterprise-grade flexibility, GrowSurf stands out.

Pricing: Custom pricing only — no publicly listed plans. Most companies must book a demo.
Target Audience: Enterprise and large-scale B2B SaaS companies looking to scale revenue through partner ecosystems, co-sell, affiliate, influencer, and customer referral programs.
Core Features: Partner ecosystem management and automation, onboarding and communication tools, automated payouts & commission management, in-app messaging, resource center, automated onboarding, and a marketplace with 600+ B2B SaaS partners.
Pros: Best for B2B SaaS partnerships, excellent onboarding & support, intuitive UI, powerful automation.
Cons: Enterprise-focused, potentially complex for small businesses, pricing is undisclosed.
Pricing transparency: GrowSurf clearly publishes its tiers and enterprise options. PartnerStack’s pricing is custom and not public, requiring a demo.
AI & automation: GrowSurf offers AI-driven reward recommendations, landing page checks, and campaign optimization. PartnerStack automates payouts and onboarding but does not offer branded AI features for referral campaigns.
Ease of setup: GrowSurf is built for marketers to launch programs quickly without engineering bottlenecks. PartnerStack’s PRM suite is powerful but heavier to implement.
Fraud protection: GrowSurf blocks suspicious referrals with IP thresholds, email burn detection, and manual tagging. PartnerStack includes standard partner vetting but offers fewer granular fraud controls for referral campaigns.
Integrations: GrowSurf offers REST API, SDKs, webhooks, and native integrations. PartnerStack integrates with CRM and payment systems to manage partners but is not built as a dedicated referral engine.
Flexibility & rewards: GrowSurf supports multi-step campaigns, dynamic rewards, automated payouts, and manual triggers. PartnerStack supports managing multiple affiliate or reseller programs but is not optimized for customer referrals.
" I had about ten other referral software providers I looked at. We chose GrowSurf because it was something we could customize without having to get developers to build the whole thing out. The price was another big plus for us."
"We use Growsurf to track ALL of our referrals, from paid acquisition channels to newsletters. GrowSurf is responsible for 15% of our new ARR from the last six weeks."
" No need to compare other referral marketing solutions. I've compared them all, and we went with GrowSurf.…Their quick-campaign creation and super fast customer support are amazing. Value for price is also unmatched."
