Total cost, not list price
Platform fee, percent of revenue, payout fees and seat limits are recorded separately, so you can compare what a program really costs.
Documented facts, not a quality ranking. Pricing and rights depend on the selected plan.
| Decision criteria | Kademi | BixGrow |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | B2B software suppliers, distributors and trade/retail brands running structured partner enablement, certification and incentive programs. | Small Shopify merchants seeking inexpensive customer referral programs that can graduate from one affiliate to many. |
| Paid entry / monthly | Not verified | $0/month |
| Billing detail | No consistent public monthly subscription price verified. Vendor-led demo and modular quote required for channel management, rewards, education and add-on components. | Free $0/month; Scale $19.99/month, Pro $29.99/month, Advanced $49.99/month on monthly billing. Annual plans are discounted separately. |
| Free plan | No | Yes |
| Free plan detail | No permanent free package confirmed in the cited vendor pages. Demo requests are available but do not establish an unrestricted free trial. | Free allows ONE affiliate, one affiliate program, and up to 50 referred orders per month. Paid plans advertise a 14-day trial. |
| Commissions | Referral and commission program modules reward partners for converted leads. Dealer or channel incentive programs may use points, sales-based rewards and targeted campaigns rather than standard recurring SaaS invoice payouts. | Basic affiliate commission rules, with advanced product-specific commission flows on Scale and tier/multilevel incentives on Pro. |
| Tracking method | Partner portals, deal registration, training/certifications, leaderboards, sales incentive performance, program resources and channel engagement are documented. | Referral links, tracked coupon codes, post-purchase referral widget and email-based marketing automation for store customers. |
| Payouts | The site references commissions, incentives and channel loyalty, but it does not establish a universal managed cash payout service in every package. Validate funding, approval and reconciliation. | PayPal automatic payouts are reserved for Advanced, while other tiers use supported manual or other methods. Payment provider fees are external. |
| Integrations | Vendor promotes modular web portals and workflow automation; exact CRM, billing-provider and SSO connectors require vendor confirmation because public pages do not establish all plan-level combinations. | Shopify affiliate and customer referral flows; Paddle Billing SaaS renewal attribution is not documented as native. |
| API available | No | Yes |
| Consider the limitation | Ecommerce-only merchants wanting self-service coupon affiliate links with a transparent $20 monthly subscription. | Large programs needing unlimited referrals on Free, automated PayPal payouts without Advanced, or direct Stripe SaaS/Paddle subscription tracking. |
