Affordable referral marketing software for indie hackers

Hey everyone! For the past few months I've been building an open-source, affordable and privacy-friendly affiliate and referral program creator for SaaS called Reflio.

I built Reflio because as an indie hacker I couldn't find an affiliate marketing tool for my multiple SaaS products that wouldn't cost me over $100+/month. Since I didn't know if affiliate marketing would work for me as a sales channel, I really wanted to find a tool where, instead of a fixed monthly fee, I could instead pay a % per successful referral to test the waters.

Referral marketing is such a powerful marketing channel for SaaS companies. For example, referral leads for B2B have a 70% higher conversion rate than leads from any other sales channel, and when referred by other customers, that customer typically has a 37% higher retention rate.

The setup process for Reflio is nice and easy. You simply signup, connect your Stripe account, create your first campaign, add the tracking script to your website and then fire the Reflio.convert('[email protected]') function from your thank you page. Once you've done those steps, you can either invite affiliates manually, or send them your unique Reflio invite signup page URL.

It's quite hard for me to list in sentences some of the cool features that make up Reflio, so here's a list:

• Pricing from $0/month
• Automatic Stripe sync
• Works for both subscriptions and one-time charges
• Embed script is lightweight and only ~13kb
• Privacy-friendly, automated GDPR compliance built in
• Manage multiple affiliate programs for different SaaS products from one dashboard
• Open-source software

Since we're in public beta, getting feedback right now is my top priority. I'd appreciate it so much if you sign up via Reflio.com and let me know how you get on / your initial thoughts 😄
