| Decision criteria | Growave | Affiliatly |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Shopify stores that want loyalty, referral, reviews and wishlist consolidation rather than multiple separate apps. | Budget-conscious online stores testing a trackable affiliate program and wanting simple coupon/link attribution. |
| Paid entry / monthly | $15/month | $0/month |
| Billing detail | Entry $15/month includes 500 monthly orders with $20 per extra 100 orders; Growth $199 includes 1,500 orders; Plus $499 includes 3,000; Unlimited $999/month. | Free plan $0 up to 50 tracked orders; Starter $16/month for up to 50 affiliates with unlimited tracked orders; Advanced $24/month for up to 200 affiliates. |
| Free plan | No | Yes |
| Free plan detail | No permanent free plan confirmed on the current pricing page. A 14-day free trial is advertised. | A permanent free tier is publicly listed, with a cap of 50 tracked orders. It should not be interpreted as unlimited affiliate transactions. |
| Commissions | Customer loyalty points, friend referrals, discounts, store credits, VIP and review rewards are its core mechanisms, not a standalone influencer bank-commission network. | Merchants can set percentage or fixed-order commissions with configurable commission rules. The primary use case is ecommerce order attribution, not recurring SaaS billing. |
| Tracking method | Tracks customer referrals, loyalty actions, photo/video reviews and wishlists within one Shopify customer profile, with fraud protection and promotional nudges. | Affiliate links, email, coupon and QR attribution with affiliate dashboards, purchase reports, marketing assets and configurable program settings. |
| Payouts | Rewards primarily take the form of Shopify loyalty points, discounts, store credit and other store benefits. Do not assume international affiliate bank payouts or mass commissions. | Vendor lists gift cards and store rewards, and PayPal Mass Payout on Advanced. Actual transfer charges and affiliate-region support depend on payout providers. |
| Integrations | Shopify-native platform with email/retention integrations, Shopify POS and selected marketing apps. Headless Shopify/API options are listed on Plus. | Official integrations list Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Ecwid and others; custom stores require implementation validation. |
| API available | Yes | No |
| Consider the limitation | SaaS-only subscription businesses or merchants expecting uncapped order volume on the $15 plan. | Subscription SaaS merchants requiring native recurring billing commission logic or enterprise channel deal registration. |
