What referral marketing software should do

  • Customer segmentation and journeys
  • Email, SMS, WhatsApp, push and in-app

  • CRM and e-commerce integrations
  • Consent and DND management

How to choose referral marketing software

Decide whether you are B2B lead nurturing or B2C lifecycle marketing. The products are different — one revolves around forms and scoring, the other around app events and push.

Count contacts, not features; most pricing scales with monthly active users or contacts, and the bill grows with your list.

Check DND, consent and template-approval handling for SMS and WhatsApp, which are regulated channels in India.

BudgetEntry pricing starts at ₹800/month in this list.

Referral marketing software — frequently asked questions

Which referral marketing software is best in India?+

On App Advisor's ranking, Zoho Marketing Automation, CleverTap, Freshmarketer lead this list of 111 products. "Best" depends on your size and workflow, so use the shortlist tool with your budget and team size rather than taking a ranking at face value.

How much does referral marketing software cost?+

Published pricing in this list starts at ₹800 per month. 47 of the 111 products have a free plan. Products sold only on request show "On request" — we never estimate a price a vendor has not published.

Is there free referral marketing software?+

Yes — 47 of the 111 products here have a real free tier, not just a trial. Free plans usually cap users, records or transactions, so check the limit against your monthly volume before you commit.

Is there referral marketing software made in India?+

29 of the 111 products listed are built in India. That usually means GST, TDS and UPI are handled natively, support runs in Indian hours and invoices come in rupees.

What is the difference between CRM and marketing automation?+

CRM records relationships and deals for salespeople; marketing automation sends and sequences messages to segments at scale. Many suites bundle both, but the strong products in each are usually different.
