Launch and scale your affiliate program with AFFY. Track referrals, automate payouts, and manage partners with our intuitive affiliate management software.
Both tools track affiliate commissions. The differences that matter are mobile management, payment processor coverage, tax compliance, and invoice automation.
Rewardful data from their public pricing and feature pages. Last checked May 2026.
AFFY is the only affiliate platform with a native Telegram management bot. When a new affiliate applies, a new lead comes in, or a conversion fires, you receive a Telegram notification with full details and inline action buttons. Approve or reject with one tap — no browser, no dashboard login. Rewardful has no Telegram integration at any tier. Managing your program requires a desktop browser session every time.
AFFY starts at €29/mo — a flat subscription. Rewardful starts at $49/mo with a $7,500/mo affiliate revenue cap on the Starter plan. Once your affiliates drive more than $7,500/mo in revenue, Rewardful forces an upgrade to $99/mo (Growth). Both use monthly subscriptions with no per-affiliate or per-commission fees, but Rewardful's revenue caps mean your software cost scales as your affiliate channel succeeds. AFFY also gives every new account 2 full months of the PRO plan free with no credit card; Rewardful gives 14 days.
Rewardful is a Stripe Premier Partner — its architecture is built entirely around Stripe. The only other processor supported is Paddle Classic, not modern Paddle Billing. There is no Chargebee support. AFFY supports Stripe, Paddle Billing, Chargebee, and PayPal natively in a single account — handling recurring webhook events, refunds, and disputes from all four simultaneously. If you use Paddle Billing for EU merchant-of-record compliance, or Chargebee for complex subscription management, Rewardful cannot track those commissions.
Rewardful offers manual PayPal export (all plans) and managed payouts in beta (Growth+, with a 3% processing fee per payout on top of the monthly subscription). One-click PayPal batch payouts require the Enterprise plan ($149+/mo). AFFY includes one-click PayPal bulk payouts at the Pro plan (€79/mo). AFFY also auto-generates a PDF self-billing invoice for every payout on every plan — emailed to both you and the affiliate automatically. Rewardful does not generate self-billing invoices.
This is a complete gap in Rewardful. There is no W-9 collection, no W-8BEN collection, and no 1099-NEC generation on any Rewardful plan. US companies paying affiliates over $600/year need those forms — Rewardful exports data and leaves the paperwork to you. AFFY includes W-9 and W-8BEN collection as core features, with 1099-NEC generation at the Premium plan — no third-party paymaster required. Payouts are automatically blocked until the affiliate's tax form is on file, and W-8BEN expiry is tracked with automatic reminders. For GDPR, AFFY ships a dedicated affiliate self-service portal — affiliates can download their data and submit erasure requests without contacting you. Rewardful has no equivalent.
AFFY has both Telegram and Slack integrations. Telegram delivers real-time notifications with inline approval buttons for instant decisions from your phone; Slack sends channel alerts for new leads and conversions so your whole team sees affiliate activity in real time. Rewardful has neither. AFFY also includes fraud and self-referral detection on all plans; Rewardful has fraud detection but custom portal domains require the Growth plan ($99/mo), while AFFY includes this on lower tiers.
