GrowSurf vs. Referral Rock

For where our company is at, GrowSurf fit nicely into what we needed and wanted to spend. It allows us to have enough campaigns (currently) to support the needs of our company. Managing the system for payout has not been as easy as anticipated.

Referral Rock is very relevant in cases where you already use Salesforce or HubSpot and want to integrate/streamline your Referral Marketing process with your Sales Management process (which is where Salesforce and Hub Spot are mainstream). Referral Rock might be less relevant if you don’t use Salesforce or HubSpot, but in that case, the pricing is also much lower, and you still get great value for the cost.

Incentivized

• Just a few minor missing features that I have been told are on the roadmap. Certainly not blockers.
• Gift card payouts that work internationally, even if the currency selected is specific to a certain country (i.e. a $100 USD gift card payout amount should still result in the ability for the recipient to choose a gift card worth $100 USD, but available in their home country. Right now we are limited to only those gift cards available within the payout currency country).

Setting up GrowSurf was a breeze! The user-friendly interface made it easy for our team to customize our referral page and integrate it seamlessly into our website

Overall usability is solid. Their customer support and success team made it super easy for me to understand the software, how to use each feature, and how to get the most out of the product.

They are very responsive and prompt when we had questions come up. Support has been great.

We selected GrowSurf because of their pricing and ROI calculator present on their website today. It made the decision clear and easy for our finance and business stakeholders. Overall, the tool is great. It is easy to use, manage and train others on. It's a great starting point for someone new to digital marketing and it's a great arrow in the quiver for our most seasoned team members.

Referral Rock is overall a better platform. It provides more and better-implemented functionalities. It also provides much better integration with Salesforce/HubSpot and better user support.
