A simpler Rewardful alternative for SaaS on Stripe
TinyAffiliate helps founders launch affiliates without enterprise setup: an affiliate signup page, trackable links, last-click attribution from Stripe events, and CSV exports for manual payouts.
At a glance
A quick comparison of the day-to-day workflow most Stripe SaaS teams care about.
