5 best Clicki alternatives

5 tools side by side: what each is best for, what it costs to start, and how you buy it.

By Josh Ho Published Updated

How we researched this list

Clicki is referral software for home service businesses, with personal links and QR codes, referral asks by text and email, instant cash payouts and Apple and Google Wallet passes. Its price is shown after an email and phone form, monthly plans add a one-time setup fee, and there is no free trial.

Service businesses look further when they want to try the software first, give their sales, support and field teams credit for the customers they bring in, or run more than one kind of service. Here are 5 tools we have researched, listed A to Z. We make Referral Rock.
