• The success fee applies only to net-new customers and only to their first three orders.
• The published ladder is Basic at $39 per month plus a 10.5% success fee, Grow at $79 per month plus 3.5%, Scale at $249 per month plus 1.5%, and Enter

Referral Rock suits teams that want one flat monthly number and no surprises when referral volume grows. The Operator Plan costs $250 per month and includes unlimited referrals, with no referral caps, no overage fees, and no setup fee. That flat price suits B2B, services, and franchise teams, where volume can spike without warning.

• Every plan also includes a program advisor who sets the program up one on one.
• The limit is that only one plan is published, so the $250 entry point is high for a small store, and anything beyond the base allowance costs extra.
• Each additional program adds $100 per month, and each extra 10,000 base members adds $125 per month.
• A franchise team running several locations should add those numbers up before committing.

Affiliate, referral, and other performance-based partner programs sit in one platform, and there is no stated limit on the number of partners or internal users, . Guided onboarding is included on all plans, so a team moving from spreadsheets or a simpler tool gets help with the switch.

• The main drawback is the absence of any published price.
• Launch, Growth, and Enterprise are the three tiers, but none carries a dollar figure, and pricing is based on partner program size, feature needs, and

• No free trial is stated on the page, so ask about trial terms during the sales conversation.

Extole is an enterprise offer-management platform for B2C brands that run referral and loyalty at scale and want those programs to work from the same base. Referral, loyalty, reward-for-action, welcome-offer, and ambassador programs share the same customer data, rules, rewards, and reporting. APIs and SDKs are available for teams that need to connect the platform to their own systems, and configurable fraud and quality rules help a large program keep rewards going to real customers.

• No pricing page was found on the vendor site, and the homepage opened for this review shows no published pricing, tiers, free plan, or trial.
• That puts Extole firmly in the demo-gated enterprise group: the only way to learn the cost is to talk to the vendor.
• For a smaller brand that needs a number before it can plan, the lack of any published figure makes Extole hard to compare against tools that do publis

• The only route on the page is “Request a Demo”, so a brand has to go through the vendor to learn the cost and start a program.
• That is a normal path for an enterprise tool, but it means Duel cannot be compared on price against the tools here that publish a starting figure.
