Where Simple Referral is different
Built for referrals, not reviews
NiceJob grew up as a review tool. Referrals are an add-on to its top plan. Simple Referral is only a referral tool, so every screen is about getting customers to send you friends.
Start without paying
You can launch a real campaign on the free plan. Upgrade when you outgrow 50 referrers or want a second campaign.
Runs without a team
Most referral software assumes someone owns the program. Simple Referral is built for owners who do the work themselves. Set it up once and it keeps running.
When NiceJob is the better choice
You want reviews and referrals in one tool
NiceJob does both. Simple Referral does not send review requests. If you only want one login, NiceJob Pro is the simpler choice.
Reviews are your bigger problem right now
If your Google profile has few reviews, fix that first. NiceJob Starter at $75 a month may be the better first spend.
You already pay for NiceJob Pro
Then referral campaigns are already in your plan. Try them before adding another tool.
What Simple Referral doesn’t do
- Simple Referral rewards the referrer only. The new customer does not get a reward today.
- Simple Referral does not collect reviews.
How it works
- Create a campaign and choose the reward your customers earn.
- Import your customer list.
- Each customer gets an email with their own referral link.
- Friends use the link to reach you, and you see who sent them.
- You reward the customer who made the referral.
