The Tapfiliate alternative: per-link pricing, no click caps.
Tapfiliate charges a flat $89–$179 a month and then meters your traffic on top: the $89 Launch plan caps you at 5,000 clicks and 500 conversions a month, with overage fees past that ($1.50 per 1,000 extra clicks, $15 per 1,000 extra conversions). RefDaddy flips the model: $12.99 a month, clicks are free and unlimited, and the only meter is 50¢ per credited link. The math below uses Tapfiliate's published monthly pricing.

The honest breakevens: past ~152 credited links a month Tapfiliate's $89 Launch plan beats our meter (while you stay under its 5,000-click cap), and past ~332 the $179 Scale plan does. Our billing is public, so you'd see either line coming on your own stats page — and we'll say so before you cross it.
Where metered stops winning, tier by tier.
At $12.99 base, RefDaddy stays cheaper than a given flat fee until (flat fee − $12.99) ÷ 50¢ links a month. Here’s that math at Tapfiliate’s numbers:
| Tapfiliate price point | RefDaddy is cheaper until |
|---|---|
| $89/mo Launch | ~152 links minted / month |
| $179/mo Scale | ~332 links minted / month |
Formula: (flat fee − $12.99) ÷ $0.50. Below the breakeven you keep the difference every month; above it, Tapfiliatewins on price and we’ll tell you so.

Different tools for different jobs.
Tapfiliateand RefDaddy overlap on tracking, not on scope. If you need what they sell, buy it — this page exists for platforms that only need the infrastructure and shouldn’t pay program-suite prices for it.
- What Tapfiliate is
- An affiliate marketing suite with 30+ pre-built integrations (Shopify, Stripe, WooCommerce and friends), multi-level marketing structures, group commissions, and automated affiliate payouts via Trolley. Built around recruited affiliates and campaign management.
- What RefDaddy is
- Referral infrastructure for platforms: we mint a link for every one of your users via API, serve the redirects, log every click, first-touch match conversions, and report. Clicks are never metered or capped — a viral spike costs you nothing until it converts.
- When Tapfiliate wins
- You need MLM commission structures, e-commerce plugin integrations, or automated affiliate payouts — or you're past ~332 credited links a month while staying inside Scale's click caps, where their flat fee beats our meter.
