How the two platforms compare at a glance
What each tool fundamentally is, who it serves, and how it is structured, before the feature-by-feature detail.
How each platform describes itself
Straight from each company's own marketing: their positioning, in their words, before our side-by-side take.
Most referral software is built for tech and e-commerce use cases. We support those too, but we believe everyday, non-tech businesses deserve more help getting referrals right.
The reward best practices, the messaging, the integrations: none of it is plug-and-play. So every Referral Rock plan includes a dedicated 1:1 advisor, not just chat support.
Referral Rock is built for operators and service teams that earn referrals through their work and want to give customers multiple opportunities to share without getting in the way.

When Referral Rock is the right fit
Six situations Referral Rock is built for.
Concierge setup and launch support
Every Referral Rock plan comes with a dedicated specialist who helps plan your rewards, write your launch messaging, and configure your program before you go live.
Referral tools for frontline and field teams
Frontline and service employees get their own portal and shareable link to enroll customers right after a service call or job. The people closest to your customers become part of the program, no custom engineering required.
Reliable connectivity to existing systems
Native HubSpot, Salesforce, and 50+ integrations keep referral data flowing between the tools you already run, and rewards can fire at any CRM stage, not just at checkout.
Sharing that's easy to access by customers
A branded member portal, passwordless magic-link access with no account to create, and a share-only mode let customers spread the word in a single tap.
Built-in email activation without a separate tool
Built-in email campaigns promote your program and fire automatic welcome, reward, and re-engagement messages, with no separate email tool to set up or pay for.
Support for multiple locations & organizations
Multi-location and multi-org support lets you run a separate program for each franchise, branch, or brand under one account, each with its own rewards and reporting, managed from a single admin dashboard.
When GetTheReferral is the right fit
GetTheReferral is the stronger pick in a few clear situations.
A dedicated app on your customers' phones
GetTheReferral builds a custom iOS and Android app under your brand. Customers submit referrals, track project status, and collect rewards inside the app, and push notifications keep your program in front of them without depending on email open rates.
Referral capture built for the job site
The Sales Rep App lets technicians and canvassers sign up new advocates and log referrals in seconds during a service call, and it ties into the trades CRMs your crews already use, including Leap, JobNimbus, and CompanyCam. For trades businesses where referrals happen face to face, that on-site capture is the feature everything else hangs on.
Workflows that match how contractors operate
Project paths per service line, integrations with trades CRMs like Leap, JobNimbus, and CompanyCam, status tracking from lead to estimate to sold, and automated reward delivery through GTR Wallet. If you run a roofing, solar, or remodeling company, the product speaks your language from day one.
