Grow your business overnight, every night

A participant is anyone who either receives a unique referral link (referrer) or signs up through one (referred). We count participants based on unique email addresses. Referral links are generated in real-time only when a logged-in user visits your referral portal, signaling their intent to share. Learn more here

For example: If you have 10,000 users, then 20% of your users may show interest in making a referral, so you would have 2,000 participants (that each get their own unique referral link to share). Then every referral that signs up also gets added as a participant.

If you exceed your participant limit, we’ll automatically upgrade you to the next tier, prorated. This means you can start on our lowest tier and automatically scale as you grow.

A campaign is simply a referral program. You would want multiple campaigns if you develop in a staging and production environment.

GrowSurf can be fully implemented in an afternoon. Many GrowSurf customers get up and running within a day. Teams may take a few days due to back-and-forth communication. Technical implementation includes campaign setup and customization, referral tracking installation, setting up a referral portal, and automating reward fulfillment.

After technical implementation, launching your customer referral program takes planning and consideration. See Referral Program Checklist to see a comprehensive list of things to consider.

Yes, we provide a 14-day free trial. When you sign up, you'll automatically be enrolled into the GrowSurf Business plan so that you have access to all features and integrations. No credit card is required during the trial. You can also downgrade to the Startup plan during this time.

No, your referral program can live within your product or web app. GrowSurf automatically gives your signed-in users a unique share link without them needing to sign up for your referral program on a separate website. Further, there is flexibility on whether you want this process to be automatic or manual. Learn more here.

If you ever go over your participant limit, we will automatically upgrade you to the next plan up, prorated. You can start as small as possible and automatically scale with your growth. We'll send you email notifications when you've reached 50%, 90%, and 100% of your participant limit. You must have a payment method on file to get auto-upgraded and can opt-out anytime from automatic upgrades.

Yes, you can remove participants from your admin dashboard or by using the REST API.

GrowSurf provides four different reward types (double-sided, single-sided, milestone, and leaderboard) that are included in all plans. You can automate fulfillment for any type of reward through our third-party integrations. Learn about how reward automation works.
