I'll ask the obvious question, because this looks great, how long is it going to be free? If it ever shuts down, will we be able to get a good dump of all of our data?
Thanks for providing this for free.
@gregghoush One of the reasons we built this was because we always thought there should be a free referral service out there. That's why we intend on always having a forever free plan. The plan for the future will probably be a premium plan (remove badge, etc).
As far as data goes, you can always export your contacts as a CSV at anytime. If we ever shut down, we'll give you a lengthy heads up so that you have enough time to do so :)
Thanks for hunting @thisdickie, it looks really straight forward, I can see anyone setting up a referral campaign in just a few minutes. A useful tool you're giving away for free @demelvin@kevinyun -- what's your long term vision for GrowSurf?
Thanks @abadesi! No long term vision just yet. Although there is a long list of features. Listening to our users and continuing to improve the product is our only foreseeable future at the moment.

@phucfl You can try Growth Connections as well, we also have a free plan.
Love the idea! I use Viral Loops but will definitely give it a go for my next contest

I have been working with a ton of different referral programs for the past year and Growsurf takes pretty much all the development work out of setting up a seemingly integrated referral program.
I was set up in less than 12 hours, and that includes making user journeys and finishing design and copy of the landing pages.
Most of what I have been building myself over tons, and tons of iterations are available within the platform, and its very easy to use.
I will continue to push for more features, specifically towards ongoing referral programs, as this seems to be missing in the platform as of now. Also, translation files set up with a platform like Crowdin or an open translation community would be greatly appreciated.
To summarise:
hats off to you guys, for building what I think is a very unique product.
Pros:
Fantastic interface and features, easy to customize for a specific user journey and ridiculously quick to set up with copy/paste code.
Cons:
Limited campaign goals and documentation. No chat within the platform. Not built for translations.
@tuanh_beu there’s no dashboard for your contacts to see, however you can customize your website to have a widget show up for returning contacts. They will be able to see their referral status and progress, and copy their unique share link as well.
