### "Extraordinary Support"

May 26, 2026

5.0

Solid out of the box product features, many ways to connect and technically set up the platform to get what you need. Extraordinary account manager and technical support which is extremely rare in the SaaS world of today.

Pros

The thing that stands out about Referral Rock is the support, and particularly from the technical standpoint. In my many years of working with SaaS companies I can't remember any with better technical knowledge and bright thinking right at the account representative level, with developers ready to assist as the backup. We have had three account representatives in our time with Referral Rock and each shocks me with how outstanding they are.

Cons

Really I don't have any significant drawbacks or downsides to report. So far everything has worked as expected.

### "Outstanding support!"

June 25, 2026

5.0

From initial demo call to onboarding, its been a great experience. One of our goals was to launch this without the use of our internal technical team and that was accomplished. Referral Rock supported us throughout the process. We had an internal rewards program and Referral Rock's platform has modernized our rewards program and provided our clients with multiple ways to refer our business to their contacts.

Pros

The onboarding process was one of the best I've experienced. Our account manager already had a download from our Referral Rock sales representative so we didn't have to repeat things. It was very well organized and after each meeting there was a summary and next steps. Referral Rock supported us in connecting Marketo to Referral Rock via Zapier and helped us through the complex parts. It was a time saver that Referral Rock set-up the emails and landing pages for and we could easily make any minor modifications.

Cons

I don't really have any major cons. There is a lot of functionality so sometimes it takes me a little time to find where I need to go when I haven't been in the platform in awhile. That said they also have a very good AI chat help that will quickly tell you where you need to look.

We were using a rewards platform and our own campaigns we built out in Marketo. Referral Rock puts more control in the hands of our clients and allows them to recommend us beyond just email.

### "Software Feels Like It's In Development Phase"

April 12, 2021

3.0

I feel like I'm trial testing an affiliate software that's not quite ready to launch. There's glitches and broken functionality everywhere. It will likely work for what we're hoping to do, but I'm disapointed in the overall experience.

Pros

I interviewed a lot of referral softwares before going with this one and am relatively happy with my choice. It has good features for the price point. The sales team was helpful and awesome. In general, it probably will work for our purposes. That being said, it falls short of the professionalism and "finished" product I was hoping for.

Cons

I feel like this software is a bit antequated in the design and is overall in development stage. There are several places where functionality just isn't quite seamless - I can ALMOST do what I need to do, but not quite. Features such as limited custom fields, awkward formatting, lacking conversion script instructions, etc made the set up process frustrating. I switched to this software so I wouldn't have to take so many shortcuts with our referral program and I feel like I'm having to hack my way into getting it to do what I need it to do. I've submitted over 20 feature requests since starting to use the software just a week ago. We'll see if they make adjustments as we go on.

It has been an amazing addition to our company's marketing efforts; the number of referrals, and of referrals who end up purchasing from us has significantly increased since we began using Referral Rock.

Pros

It provides leads with the highest conversion rate across all lead sources and many of these referrals become members themselves.

Cons

The one thing I'm not crazy about is the new dashboard, as the older one provides more insights, not only on referrals captured, but those qualified, approved or denied.

### "RR is great for syncing with a HubSpot CRM"

July 7, 2023

5.0

RR support has been great. Our support person has answered all questions in a quick and timely manner and has really been able to help us make changes and understand how to use

Pros

As an admin, RR is great for managing and tracking referrals and affiliate data. I enjoy being able to keep up with all details in real-time and seeing referrals come in for our affiliates. As an affiliate, I enjoy the features RR offers when allowing me to see my referral data and all info I need to be a successful affiliate right on my dashboard as soon as I log in to the portal.

Cons

As an admin, RR is very difficult to navigate. I struggled to understand where to find settings changes, how to set up the program and save edits I made to our program, among other things. The different options RR offers are great, but I found it extremely difficult to navigate and understand as a potential first-time affiliate admin user.

### "Loved using Referral Rock, Great Integration with HubSpot"

July 5, 2023

5.0

We've loved our experience with Referral Rock! The implementation team is very helpful and our specialist, \[sensitive content hidden\], is super responsive and willing to help. She didn't overwhelm us with emails or resources, but we always knew we could go to her with any questions. Overall, a really great experience and we definitely recommend!

Pros

We needed an easy-to-use affiliate management and payout software that integrated seamlessly with our CRM, HubSpot. We've loved our experience so far and it's been easy for our affiliates to use!

Cons

Because we are new to the system, it's sometimes hard to find the settings we're looking for within the system. Also, I wish it were possible for our affiliates to update all of their personal info in their account settings (such as email and Paypal address). Other than that, we are loving it!

Alternatives considered

[LeadDyno](https://www.capterra.com/p/145778/LeadDyno/)

Reason for choosing Referral Rock

We loved LeadDyno and were going to go through with it, but it didn't have a 2-way sync with HubSpot so we couldn't make it work with the way our systems are set up. Also, RR support was more timely and consistent even though LeadDyno was great too.

### "Referral Rock: "

April 11, 2024

5.0

I really enjoyed my experience with Referral Rock to date. \[sensitive content hidden\]l was on it from the get go and really helped us develop a member portal that met all of our needs. Will be highly recommending Referral Rock to other attorneys.

Pros

I really enjoyed how quick the onboarding was and the customer support I got from \[sensitive content hidden\].

Cons

I think it needs to have better referral form fields and allow for more customization for businesses like ours that are just doing B2B marketing.

### "Excellent person-to-person referral platform"

April 26, 2024

5.0

It's been very easy and great support. We launched it and are very happy so far.

Pros

No app to install. Easy to set up and use once it was up and running.

Cons

Would like an easier way for our members to get to their portal with their phone. Some solution so they can pop to their portal and send a referral text on the fly. Also, would love to see campaigns that allow members to compete with others with First name and last name initial. Kind of a barometer of how others are doing with referrals against other members for a specific period of time. Kind of like how sales teams compete internally to build strong marketing campaigns.

### "Frictionless for the Customer!"

June 6, 2023

5.0

Overall great experience. Great customer service and our account manager \[sensitive content hidden\] was super helpful and knows her product very well!

Pros

The best thing is how easy it is for a customer to sign up with a single click and use their dashboard link to check their stats. Our goal was to make it frictionless for the Referring member and Referral Rock certainly does that.

Cons

We had to host the landing page within Referral Rock instead of our domain for tracking purposes. This was not ideal but it was the only way to make it work with our system.

December 7, 2022

Both the sales rep and my account manager have been excellent!

Pros

Referral Rock's Hubspot connection is unlike anything on the market that I've seen (at this price point).

Cons

Documentation for setup could be improved. The resources center is dense, but I really needed more resources and a clear "how to" documentation to get going faster and smoother.

April 11, 2024

5.0

Referral Rock is a game-changer for businesses seeking to harness the power of referrals. Its intuitive platform simplifies the management of referral programs, making it effortless for both businesses and customers to participate. The platform's tracking and analytics features provide valuable insights into the performance of referral campaigns, allowing businesses to optimize their strategies for maximum impact. What sets Referral Rock apart is its user-friendly interface, robust functionality, and exceptional customer support. Overall, it's a must-have tool for any business looking to leverage the potential of word-of-mouth marketing effectively.

Pros

With Referral Rock, we can design and launch custom referral programs tailored to their needs, incentivizing existing customers to spread the word and acquire new leads. HubSpot integration was critical to us and it's a good integration. Kudos to \[sensitive content hidden\], our Onboarding specialist.

Cons

Having to create (and pay) one program for each set of rules and rewards.

### "A great, easy to use referral software!"

December 18, 2022

4.0

It has been a great few months using the system. As a marketer, it has cut down my time for affiliate management immensely and allowed me to focus on other aspects of growing our affiliate program.The customer support team has also been incredible in assisting with any questions, along with going above and beyond to build snippets of custom code where needed in order to achieve our objectives!

Pros

The product is really easy to use! As a marketer, it was great that I could be hands-on with the set up of all our programs. The code needed for our website was also relatively simple for our developer to implement- making the process of setting up referral rock smooth.I also really like that the system updates all the members of their rewards statuses, giving them some motivation to drive more referrals!

Cons

The system is easy to use but at some points, can be slow to load.

Reason for choosing Referral Rock

The pricing model at Referral Rock was much more accessible and fair practices. I also liked that referral rocks system was simple and easy to use.

### "Love Referral Rock!"

February 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

We had been manually tracking referrals and referral payouts before Referral Rock. We shopped around for a better referral system and landed on Referral Rock. We love it! Very easy to use and the support team has been great at answering questions. This system has helped us streamline the referral process and earn more referral revenue.

Cons

The navigation on the back end wasn't initially the most straightforward. Some pages are found in the main tab while other pages are found in the settings and there are more pages under the edit the program section. I think the structure makes sense for those that have multiple programs. It was just a bit confusing for us at first since we only had one program. I kept wanting to go to the settings section to edit the program, but that was all found in a different area. It's become easier to navigate with training.

### "Your Success is Their Success"

May 25, 2017

5.0

Pros

In 2016, we did a deep analysis of our Word-of-Mouth marketing and found it to be one of our most profitable lead gen channels. So, we began the hunt to find a referral program software company who could rally behind us just as our customers do. After speaking with more than 4 other companies, we signed on with Referral Rock. Why? For a few reasons: Price is competitive for what you receive UI is clean and easy to navigate They offer key feature sets which include: easy to embed widgets, single- or double-sided referral program options, one-click call-to-action for quick sign up, automated templated email messages, unique tracking for sharing, API integration, conversion tracking, reporting, etc. Weve been using Referral Rock for a few months now and I have to say that if you want stellar customer service these guys deliver on all levels. They are attentive. Will customize anything you need on the fly. By far, their team is awesome to work with and will help you get results. Also, if you provide them with feedback it doesnt get lost. Its seen as valuable and taken into consideration when they update their software.

Cons

The only con would be their reporting its limited.

### "Transformed our Referral Process"

January 5, 2023

5.0

Overall, Referral Rock had a strong positive impact on our hiring process. Reduced a lot of additional tasks and streamlined the entire process.

Pros

The overall functions and product have helped us streamline our referral process. Not only is it easy for the organisation to track and manage the referrals, but it also offers the referrers visibility and transparency. The options to issue rewards seamlessly also helped reduce a lot of time for our internal teams.

Cons

I think there is some room for improvement to the user experience of the website. It can be slightly tricky to find your way around the website.

Pros

I love the flexibility of the software and it provides just what we need for internal purposes and helps create a better experience for our members.

April 26, 2023

Honestly, getting started with RR was kind of rocky. It took much longer to implement than expected. That said, after implementing it, it seems to have brought more value to our business and our customers seem to love it. We still have some work to do with internal usage, but overall it seems to have been a good investment.

Pros

Once set up, RR is quite easy to use. Customer service is very efficient and responsive.

Cons

I found there to be quite a learning curve with this program, specifically with regard to the integration with Salesforce.

The demo was helpful and thorough, the onboarding support and set-up timeline worked well, and we received great customer service before, during, and after onboarding. The system is simple to use and the pricing model suits our franchise structure well.

Pros

Cons

The referral landing page is awkward to style and to personalise to the degree that we'd like.

People trust referrals but hate using the correct link.

Pros

Your team is phenomenally supportive, ranging between my very dumb and basic questions to the slightly more technical inquiries. Always patient, never seem frustrated, and consistently beyond helpful.

Cons

The jump from basic plan to middle is huge, it should have a step between the two.

August 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

I was looking for a tool that could help launch a member referral program. This type of tool is often found in different sectors and not necessarily in the non-profit space, so I wasn't sure it would work as effectively as it does for say, ecommerce. I needed an inexpensive, plug-and-play solution and found referral rock. It has worked as advertised.

Cons

It was not as intuitive to set the referral logic, but the rep on the customer success team was very helpful!
