Best Alternative to Referralkit?

Couple months back I added Referralkit to one of my MailChimp mailings and it started to yield immediately.

😬 In the meantime, Referralkit changed ownership and has been serving problems ever since. The website is unreachable, the dashboard as well and subscribers who want to reach new milestones were already earlier complaining that the personalized links were not reachable from certain countries.

😖 Current owners not responsive (tried email and Twitter) and it is out of Yaro's hands now.

So, what is the best alternative? Preferably one that easily incorporates with MailChimp.

    Hi Jan 👋

    I am the founder of ReferralRocket. We help to succeed using referrals.

    Right now we don't support Mailchimp but I'd love to build that for you!

    Ps: I've written you a message on Twitter.

      Thanks @Businesscoder, looking at your website now... but seems to focus on waiting list / pre-launch audience?

      Have not seen a message on twitter, I am @janvaniperen

        Yeah, we focus on waitlist right now.
        But adding a newsletter don't take that long and I am still in early days and looking for customers I can work closely with.

        I've written a message to you. I am twitter.com/ambitiouspizza

    Rewardful I never used them, but it is on my list to implement one day into my newsletter. As far as I researched, they are the cool kid in the block for affiliate/referral programs.

      Thanks, has a bit more than I require now... but might be interesting later on.

        Yep, it is quite complete suite.

        May I ask how do you leverage referrals in your newsletter? What kind of perks do you offer?

        1. 1

          Yeah sure... As this is a newsletter with a certain industry in focus I offered Mention with name and linked company name in the Friday edition as first tier. Linked headline to company site or article as second tier. 1 week sponsor spot as 3rd tier. All in kind...

          1. 1

            Yep, gotcha! Dank je wel!

    Fully loaded, but again with a starting price that is quite similar to what I am paying MailChimp right now. Would love to see one with similar approach to many mail marketing tools: start paying when you reached an audience of say 3000.
