I already use Invite-Referrals since last Summer and for me it is one of the best Viral Tools I have ever seen. Mostly because of the "type of referals": Users will see a popup and can direcly send/share/tweet/... the content with one mouse-click. That´s it. And that works great!

InviteReferrals seems to be very similar to Prefinery (which was on LTD a while ago), but in some parts they are different. I own bouth of them and I won´t give away any of them. Another Sumoling compared Invitereferrals to an Affiliate-System and it´s absolutely not! Invitereferrals is not the right software to calculate a commission or something like that, you ONLY count referrals, you can sort them (only count referrals with a minimum order-value), but there is not realy a management for orders and commissions. The goal of Invitereferrals (as well as Prefinery) is to cause massive viral traction by recent Leads and not to pay out long-term-affiliates.

So let´s have a look on the topic that most sumolings will stumble about: The number of referrers.

The highest Tier on Prefinery had up to 50k users/subscribers while on Invitereferrals you only get up to 6k referrers. But even if this numbers are used simular most of the time, there is a difference:

In Prefinery a "Subscriber" is the same as a referrer and a user. Every "contact" counts to the limit. In Invitereferrals there is a difference between the "referrer" and the "referral". If your referrer shares your link and 10 new leads come in, they dont use a "referrer-spot". In fact, you can have Millions of referrals, as long as they come from a maximum of 6k referrers. Because of that the numbers are so different, it makes no sense to compare them. Only if you force EVERY new Lead to be also a referrer, even if he does not share anything, this numbers would get comparable. And in that case, 6k referrers would not be a lot.

One more difference: In prefinery you can delete a Referrer and the spot will be free again. I am not sure but I think (!) this is not possible in Invitereferrals. As far as I know, when the spot is used it is gone and that´s it. So 6k really means 6k for lifetime.

So this would be the first thing I would wish to be changed. If I could simply delete referrers and get the spots free again this would be great. But even if this is not possible: Invitereferrals is a great software for a fair price and should pay-back with one good-running campaign. And as long as you don´t have a good-running campaign, your referral-spots will not be used, so that´s okay. ;)

Here my second wich to change: More stacking! My first (accidentially) great viral campaign was running only three days and I had 1.400 new Leads in those three days. It could happen so fast that you hit your limits, and while they are for a one-time-use, I would stack a software like this to the roof to be absolutely safe when a viral campaign starts in the middle of the night like a rocket.

All the best, Julian!
