Choose RefCampaign if...
RefCampaign is more opinionated around SaaS subscription tracking and lean program operations.
- Stripe billing events should drive attribution, commission eligibility and payout review.
- You want fewer generic settings and more guidance for a SaaS affiliate workflow.
- You need EU-hosted positioning and French support for a European SaaS program.
