Referral OS provides tools for creating and managing affiliate programs and partner ecosystems. It is in public beta and can be used in the cloud or self-hosted; the project describes itself as open source, with code users can review, modify, and host. A central dashboard supports partner onboarding, approvals, and management, while tracking covers referral activity, analytics, and conversions. The platform automates commission calculations and partner payment workflows, and includes systems intended to detect referral-program abuse. Integrations are available through webhooks, an API, and SDKs. The partner portal can be customized to match a customer's brand, and deployment documentation describes subdomain-based multi-tenancy and tenant custom domains. The Free plan includes up to 100 tracked referrals, five partner accounts, basic API access, and community support. Pro costs 99.00 USD per month, billed annually; Enterprise costs 1000.00 USD per month. Support varies by plan, from community assistance to email and chat or a dedicated account manager.
