How is Prefinery different from InviteReferrals?

  • Prefinery allows you to run unlimited campaigns. InviteReferrals puts a cap on the number of campaigns you can run and you need their Enterprise plan if you want to run more than 6 campaigns.
  • Prefinery is hyper-customizable and 100% unbranded for any subscription plan. InviteReferrals is lacking customization options such as the ability to add code injection and custom CSS to end-user-facing widgets.
  • Prefinery allows you to run custom drip campaigns using unlimited email automation setups. InviteReferrals only supports 4 built-in emails (enrollment, friend, reminder, and coupon). However, InviteReferrals does support in-app and SMS messages in addition to email (Prefinery only supports email).
  • Prefinery allows you to add custom questions to your form (to collect more than just name/email from your users) whereas InviteReferrals does not.
  • Prefinery has an easy, visual, block-based email layout editor. InviteReferrals does not let you create reusable email layouts and you have limited control over the design of the email (you can only edit the body copy).
  • Prefinery has pre-launch & beta management features not offered elsewhere. InviteReferrals does not support pre-launch / waitlist campaigns.
  • Both Prefinery and InviteReferrals provide comprehensive analytics around conversions, shares and referrals.
  • Prefinery provides email analytics (open, bounce, click). It does not appear that InviteReferrals provides email analytics.
  • Prefinery lets you easily create single-sided, double-sided, and milestone rewards which can be earned when the invitee signs up or performs a custom event. It appears that InviteReferrals does not support these reward types.
  • Prefinery lets you reward your users with anything you want. InviteReferrals limits the rewards to either a coupon code or money via Paytm or Paypal.
  • Prefinery supports two event types that determine when a referral conversion occurs -- registration and custom event. InviteReferrals supports these types, plus sale, app install and WhatsApp event types.
  • InviteReferrals supports uploading a list of coupon codes to be delivered to your users. Prefinery does not yet have this support, instead requiring that you use 3rd party solutions like Zapier or Coupon Carrier to create and deliver unique, dynamic coupon codes.
  • Prefinery shows much more information about your users (location, browser, OS, language, UTM parameters), whereas InviteReferrals only shows you name, email, shares/clicks, and referrals/invites.
  • Prefinery has the more robust API. InviteReferrals only has a single "confirm conversion" endpoint. However, InviteReferrals does have native SKDs for iOS and Android, whereas Prefinery does not.
  • InviteReferrals has deeper integration with mobile apps.
  • Prefinery has multi-user support with no cap on the number of team members. InviteReferrals places a cap on the number of team members.
  • Prefinery supports two-factor authentication (2FA), whereas InviteReferrals does not.
  • Prefinery takes data privacy and security seriously. InviteReferrals has no published Data Protection Agreement or Security Policy.
  • Prefinery offers free email support for all customers with an average response time of under 1 hour. InviteReferrals' email support policy states a 24 hour response time.
