Pricing entry tiers: BUZZ Affiliate Marketing at Free to install, ReferralYard: Referral Program at Free plan available.

The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
