The Stripe-First Alternative to Tolt
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.
Tolt’s pricing is tied to monthly affiliate earnings thresholds, so as your affiliate channel grows you can get pushed into higher tiers to keep tracking and operating normally.
Automatic payouts are available on higher plans but can include an extra processing fee, which means your operational convenience may come with incremental costs as volume increases.
If your customer journey spans multiple distinct domains, you may need extra implementation workarounds because cross-domain tracking support can be limited depending on your setup.

Final Verdict
Migration Steps
- Export your partners, key program settings, and any coupon-code mappings from Tolt (typically via CSV or dashboard exports).
- Import partners into Referello and recreate your commission structure at a high level (tiers, default rates, and any special partner rules).
- Swap your on-site tracking from Tolt to Referello by replacing the existing snippet with the Referello script and validating that referral parameters are captured across your main customer journey.
- Connect Stripe to Referello, run a small end-to-end test flow (click → signup/trial → payment), then roll the change out broadly and notify affiliates of any updated portal or link format.
Historic cookies and prior-attribution sessions will not transfer; new clicks track immediately once Referello is live.
