    ReferralCandy is overall a great tool that saves me time and money. Creating a referral program on your own is incredibly difficult and this tool allows for an automated system to send us an option to opt into the referral program. Their customer success team is very helpful and they're quick to get back to us when we have a question. We also love the ban feature when a customer abuses the referral program.

    Tremendous is well suited for businesses giving gift cards to employees as a reward or to research participants as thanks/compensation for their time. It's not like a cash sharing software between friends. It is also best for relatively small amounts of money because the sender runs the risk of sending the reward to the wrong email

    Cons
    ReferralCandy
    • I would love to see a multi-tiered referral or reward system so that we can offer certain customer groups unique offers.
    • I would love a feature where you can issue a reward to a customer without them "qualifying for it".

    • We do not have insight into whether a customer has redeemed a reward or not
    • Unredeemed rewards kind of go into a void, we cannot get funds back for unclaimed rewards

    They have a lot of rules around spending. You cannot use the card for funds that are greater than the amount you want to spend and do a split payment transaction. This makes it virtually impossible to use all of the funds on the card

    ReferralCandy went above and beyond when it came to the initial integration of their app with our e-commerce store. They walked us through, step by step, how to install it, and then spent time helping track down a display bug that had popped up, giving us a couple free months for our trouble even!

    Tremendous allowed us for more customization to the email and landing page, Rybbon had their own branding on the email and page which was something we did not want. One of the main selling points for us with Tremendous was the ability to use our own firm's email domain. This allowed us to send an email coming from our firm, so our clients and prospects recognized the domain.

    • ReferralCandy has been positive because it allows customers to refer new customers to discover our brand.
    • We'd love to know more about how this affects our customer acquisition cost.

    • The fact that it's free to use means Tremendous has had a very positive ROI on our research operations. We've gained much and lost nothing.
