### "Great additional to our tech stack"

December 7, 2022

4.0

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

Pros

'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 21, 2026

5.0

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 .

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.

### "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.

### "Referral Rock Review"

March 14, 2026

5.0

Pros

Been using for over a year now. It just works. We set it up, integrated it with HubSpot, and it runs in the background. Support has been responsive the couple times we've needed them.

Cons

Not well known, wish I had found it earlier. The initial learning curve can be a bit steep, especially when navigating the more advanced campaign settings and reward rules.

### "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 ! 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!

[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.

April 11, 2024

5.0

I really enjoyed my experience with 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 certainly does that.

Cons

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

### "Best-in-class client support! "

March 26, 2026

5.0

Overall, I have had a very good experience! I strongly recommend for your organizations!

Pros

They have the best-in-class client support. Very responsive and helpful all along the process with clear next steps and ready to answer any question.

Cons

The user interface could be simplified and be more user-friendly. It looks a bit "scary" at first as an admin. However, the onboarding and the excellent client service compensated a lot!

### "Customer Service has been beyond my wildest dreams."

April 29, 2020

5.0

Really awesome experience so far in the set up of our referral program. We are just about to launch, so I can't say anything about our results - but this is exactly what we've been looking to set up for a while and I'm super excited to get this ball rolling.

Pros

Hands down the thing I like most about is the customer service. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been a godsend. He's been so easy to communicate with, is available for video/screen share calls and happily answers any little question I've had. It's been such a big help to have that, because there's so much you can do with Referral Rock, but without someone who knows it inside and out it would be easy to miss a lot - and set it up with only a fraction of its potential.

Cons

I felt like there were a number of things that weren't ready to go right off the bat - like an anchor link to take users from the referral page to the top (to see the form again). A random field that appeared in the member registration form. All of these were minor and there was a workaround in place, would have been \*ideal\* if these were in place but nothing was a dealbreaker, just a minor inconvenience. And again, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was a huge help with communicating this with me, and with the dev team to set up an official solution.

February 27, 2023

5.0

Our business is complicated and is in a crucial transitioning phase. \[sensitive content hidden\] and the integration experts were able to help us strategize, suggest edits and test/incorporate our functions and were available to assist with all the questions we had.

Pros

\-the integration allows for automation through the referral journey-friendly staff-vast experienced in the referral world-incredibly cost efficient -tracking-member dashboards -customizable experience

Cons

\-formatting on registration/member pages when editing. Long-ish load times and changes to text were often difficult to incorporate. Needs more capable, user friendly formatting for ease of transferring text edits

We purchased two plans with . With both implementations, the Referral Rock team has been great to work with. They are very patient and responsive when we have questions. I would give them 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Representative is fantastic!

Pros

The software is easy to use and we like the ability to generate reports within the Admin dashboard. It is very reliable for our users.

Cons

We bought a more "entry level" plan so we don't have a lot of options to customize multiple fields. There is an upgrade coming in a few months so that may give us more flexibility.

Automated program for rewarding product exposure and customer networking with minimal effort internally.

Pros

Automated notifications with the ability to theme your offerings. Tremendous customer support and technical ability. Integration with Woo Commerce is very helpful.

Cons

Just need more clients on it, lol Advanced training or consulting session based on your specific industry, audience, and key employee skill set would be a welcome addition. This could assist each business individually in taking their specific program to the next level.

April 23, 2024

4.0

Onboarding with \[sensitive content hidden\] was great. He was patient and ensured that we stayed on track and launched succesfully. The comparably lower price allowed us to give this a try -- a lower barrier to entry.

Pros

The team was helpful in quickly understanding our use case and helping us get everything implemented.

Cons

We understand that RR doesn't integrate with Instagram, for reasons beyond RR's control, but would be great to have a workaround for this.

Reason for choosing Referral Rock

The price was much better than the others.

July 5, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very reliable, easy-to-use product. has made it easy for us to streamline our online member referral program and significantly simplify the process. The user interface is well-designed and makes launching, monitoring, and editing referral campaigns effortless. Their support team was extremely helpful in walking us through custom campaign setup and answering any questions we had throughout the process. Would definitely recommend this product to any size business or non-profit organization looking to expand their reach through referral programs! After using the product for nearly 2 years, we've never received any negative feedback from our members or experienced any down-time with Referral Rock's hosting platform.

Cons

I wish there were more options to customize the layout and look of the rewards landing pages and automated emails. Other than that -- the software and support have been great!

Our goal was to tap into our most valuable resource, our members, to spread the word about Show-Score. provided a lightweight, yet highly customizable solution. I highly recommend Referral Rock.

Pros

Once the initial setup is complete, is highly automated and makes it easy for referrers to sign up and promote your brand.

Cons

The setup is somewhat involved, but the Customer Success Team is invaluable. Rep was highly responsive, thorough, and offered great insights. There's a bit of a learning curve in regards to the nomenclature used in RR, but otherwise it's a solid program.

March 20, 2017

3.0

Our biggest complaint is that once a member us added there is not easy for them to add a referral. It's not like people go to the site everyday and remember the URL:, username an PW. Please add and App! Our other is that a program is difficult to build as it is difficult to see the "whole picture" without creating test member and sending test referrals...

Response from Referral Rock

April 19, 2017

Thanks Chris. We've thought about adding an App for the member to download. In our early testing and surveying, only 3% of people said they would download an app, so we scrapped the idea. That was 2 years ago, so it may be different now. We'll do another survey. In regards to the "whole picture" you're right, that is an active area we are looking to improve. There are many nobs and dials to turn for a effective referral program, most of our time has been spent building out these features. Once there are so many, it becomes more difficult to navigate. We are at that stage where we will be consolidating many of the pages and making it easier to "see the whole picture" Thank you for your honest feedback! It helps us get better!
