Referral AI
Features Pricing How It Works FAQ

Turn your happiest customers into your sales team

Referral AI automates the entire referral program lifecycle: enrollment, tracking, rewards, and payouts. Grow through word-of-mouth without the operational headache.

Team collaboration

Built for growth without the overhead

Instant Enrollment

One-click referral link generation. Customers become advocates in seconds, not weeks of manual setup. No code required. Your best customers can start referring immediately after they sign up.

Smart Tracking

Automatic attribution across web, email, and social. Know exactly which referral brought which customer, with zero setup on your end. Multi-touch attribution that actually works.

Flexible Rewards

Commission structures that match your economics. Fixed bounty, tiered commission, revenue share, or hybrid models. Change rewards mid-program without rebuilding your entire system.

Instant Payouts

Automated reward payouts via Stripe, PayPal, or ACH. No manual reconciliation, no angry ambassadors waiting for checks. Payouts process weekly on your schedule.

Public Leaderboard

Gamification that works. Referrers see rankings, compete, and stay engaged. Optional anonymous mode for privacy-conscious teams. Monthly rewards for top performers.

API-First Design

Integrate in minutes. Full REST API, webhook events, and native Slack integration for real-time program visibility. Zapier, Make, and native Salesforce integration included.

The Problem

Referral programs are one of the highest-ROI acquisition channels. But running one manually is chaos: spreadsheet tracking, manual payouts, commission disputes, and customers asking did my referral count every week.

You're leaving money on the table because your referral program is too clunky to scale. Your sales team spends time answering questions instead of selling. Referrers get frustrated and stop recommending.

The Solution

Referral AI removes every friction point. Automate everything from enrollment to payout. Your customers see real-time tracking of their referrals. Your team gets 10 hours back per week. Commission disputes disappear.

Companies using Referral AI see 3x higher referral participation rates and 40% more referred customers within 90 days. Setup takes 2 hours. First referral closed deal within 48 hours.

Referral AI cut our program setup from 6 weeks to 2 hours. We've already attributed $47K in new ARR to referrals we would have missed. Our advocates love the real-time dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?

Most teams are live within 2 hours. We have a setup wizard that guides you through creating your first program, defining rewards, and sending referral links to customers. No development work required.

Can I integrate with my CRM?

Yes. We have native Salesforce integration, plus Zapier and Make for anything else. All our data is accessible via REST API for custom integrations.

What if I already have a referral program?

We can import your historical data and your advocates' identities. No customer friction, no starting from zero. You own all your data and can export anytime.

Can I change rewards mid-program?

Yes. You can run A/B tests on different reward structures, change payouts, and adjust eligibility criteria without losing historical attribution or frustrating your advocates.

What about compliance?

We handle FTC affiliate disclosures, payout compliance, and tax reporting for you. Detailed audit logs for every transaction.

How is this different from a marketing platform?

Marketing platforms treat referrals as one campaign type. We're built from the ground up for referral-specific workflows: real-time tracking, instant payouts, gamification, and advocate engagement. That focus drives 3x higher participation.
