Tolt is a solid affiliate marketing platform for SaaS, but its earnings-capped pricing and tier-gated limits can add friction as you scale. Referello keeps affiliate tracking simple with a flat plan designed for unlimited growth.
Why Comparison Matters
Choosing the right affiliate software is critical for your margins and workflow. Here is what you should consider before making a decision.
Integration Ease
Many legacy platforms require complex developer work, placing pixels on every page. Modern tools like Referello integrate directly with payment processors (like Stripe) for 100% accurate tracking without the code bloat.
Attribution Accuracy
Cookie tracking is getting harder with modern privacy laws. Look for software that utilizes first-party cookies and server-side verification to ensure your affiliates get credited correctly (and you don't overpay).
Transparent Pricing
Avoid platforms that tax your growth. Some competitors charge transaction fees on every sale *plus* a monthly subscription. We believe in flat pricing so your costs don't scale linearly with your success.
Payout Flexibility
Managing payouts can be a nightmare. The best tools generate mass payout files (CSV) compatible with PayPal or Wise, allowing you to pay hundreds of affiliates in minutes rather than hours.
