Rewardful asked 10 SaaS growth leaders about what's working in 2026, and expected some overlap.

Rewardful is a simple way for SaaS companies to setup affiliate and referral programs with Stripe and Paddle. Just connect your account and let us track referrals, discounts, and commissions for you! Everyone knows it’s hard (and expensive) to grow a SaaS business, especially in the early days. We have limited time and resources, so we need all the help we can get. One of the most untapped sources of new customers is your existing customers and network. There’s a ton of noise in the market and prospects often aren’t familiar with your brand. Luckily, buyers rely on word-of-mouth 2-10x more than paid media and 92% of consumers trust referrals from people they know. As a cherry on top, referred customers have a 25% higher LTV and are 18% less likely to churn. And best of all, your customer acquisition cost becomes locked-in at a specific % of revenue and you don’t pay for marketing that doesn’t lead to paying customers.
