Where customers come from
Refgrow’s AI Recruiter searches X, LinkedIn, YouTube and other platforms for people who write about a product’s space, then scores how well each person fits. The visible acquisition surface includes searching for and scoring potential partners.
Programs can also be listed in the Partner Network. Partners browse programs by niche and receive notifications according to their preferences, while the product includes an API, MCP server, CLI and webhooks.
What stands out
Refgrow covers the affiliate workflow from partner discovery and referral tracking to commission review and payouts. Partners can receive a widget inside the customer’s app or use a standalone portal.
Its integrations include Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar and Dodo Payments. Sales from these payment providers can be reported by webhook.

Where it sits in the data
Refgrow — Modern Affiliate Software's $2.4K MRR is higher than 84% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Marketing” category (897 projects) it is higher than 79% (category median $198). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, there is clear demand among SaaS and AI products that want structured affiliate programs. The buyer is an online product team responsible for recruiting partners, tracking referrals, setting commissions and handling payouts.
Distribution could come from the Partner Network, partner discovery, developer resources and integrations with payment providers. The difficult parts include commission rules, fraud review, payout controls, payment-provider connections, support and competition in affiliate software. Regulation adds another consideration when programs operate across jurisdictions.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
In my view, the strongest lesson is to package a business workflow rather than a single feature. Refgrow connects partner recruitment, referral tracking, commissions, review and payouts within one product for SaaS and AI products sold online.
