Rewardful vs FirstPromoter
The two list identical prices at $49, $99 and $149 a month, but cap different things. Rewardful limits the affiliate-attributed revenue each tier tracks, and FirstPromoter limits affiliates and revenue on its entry plan. Both pages name the same company, Igil Webs SRL, so the choice rests on features and caps.
