What GrowSurf does
GrowSurf is software for running referral and affiliate programs. Companies with an existing base of customers, users, patients, members or partners can give each person a personal share link and reward them when someone they referred signs up or buys.
The vendor describes the product as white-labeled, so the program appears inside your own product under your brand. Links are generated automatically, rewards can be sent automatically, and Zapier or webhooks cover other reward types. Reward formats include single-sided, double-sided, milestone and leaderboard, and the site lists AI help for reward ideas and promotional copy, plus fraud controls and an analytics dashboard. For developers there is a REST API, a JavaScript SDK, iOS and Android SDKs, and webhooks.
The Startup plan starts at $179 per month billed monthly, or $125 per month billed yearly, and covers up to 5,000 participants. The Business plan starts at $449 per month billed monthly, or $314 per month billed yearly, with tiers up to 150,000 participants. Larger programs get a custom quote. There is no free referral plan, but a 14-day free trial is offered with no credit card required.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can evaluate before paying
- Pricing is based on participants rather than your whole user base
- Supports several reward types, including double-sided, milestone and leaderboard rewards
- Offers a REST API, webhooks and SDKs for web, iOS and Android
- Both referral and affiliate programs are available from the same vendor
Cons
- No free plan for referral programs; every referral plan is paid
- Cost rises with participant tiers, and exceeding a limit can trigger a prorated upgrade
- Tax forms and 1099 filing are charged separately
- Some integrations, such as Salesforce and Marketo, require an annual plan
- Programs above 150,000 participants need a custom quote with no published price
Our take
GrowSurf suits companies that already have customers, users or partners who could refer others and that want a branded program running inside their product without building tracking and reward logic themselves. Developers get an API and SDKs, and non-developers get a dashboard. It fits less well if you want a free referral plan: referral pricing is paid, and because it scales with participants, the monthly bill rises as the program grows. Tax forms and 1099 filing are charged separately, and a few integrations need an annual plan. The pricing page only lists plan prices, so check whether the tiers fit your expected participant count before committing.
