Pricing entry tiers: Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy at Free, Shopify Audiences at Free. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy has the larger user base (1,076 reviews vs 23), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy and Shopify Audiences both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV.
