" I had tried several referral marketing platforms before committing to GrowSurf. The UI/UX is much better than any of the competitors in the market, and integration was done quickly without much developer help. You can't beat it."
" 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."
" 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."
