Start with the requirement Rewardful does not meet for your program: a different billing stack, operational AI access, several commerce channels or another payout workflow. A shortlist is useful only when each candidate addresses that requirement.
Rewardful already covers Stripe and Paddle and offers a REST API. Compare a replacement against the plan and payout service you currently use. Rewardful official product and pricing information.

What to bring to a vendor trial
Use the same evidence pack for each candidate: one active affiliate, a referral link, the checkout path, a recurring customer, a refunded sale and an unpaid commission. Record the expected outcome before testing. Keep unsupported requirements visible rather than assuming feature parity.
Narrow this shortlist with three decisions:
Keep your billing provider
Match the operating workload
Run a migration rehearsal
