Comparison
RewardBase vs Stickly
These two products are the same shape and almost the same price, and they disagree about exactly one thing: proof. RewardBase has your user submit a screenshot, a URL or a note, and you approve or reject it in a dashboard. Stickly has no submission and no queue — a click grants the credit. That single difference decides which one you want, and nothing else on this page matters as much.

Choose RewardBase if
- You need evidence a task was done, and you are willing to review it.
- Your rewards are large enough that someone would bother faking them.
- You want more than one kind of reward — discount codes, access unlocks, a points wallet.
- You are running one-off campaigns where a human eye on each entry is the point.
Choose Stickly if
- You will not realistically keep up with an approval queue, and you know it.
- Your rewards are small — a few credits — so the cost of a fake claim is a few credits.
- You want the user rewarded the moment they act, not the next time you log in.
- You pay in your own product’s credits and want nothing else in the loop.
Side by side
| RewardBase | Stickly | |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of completion | User submits a screenshot, URL or text; you approve or reject it | None. A click grants the credit |
| Work per claim, for you | One review, every claim | Zero |
| Time to reward, for the user | Whenever you next open the dashboard | Immediate |
| Free tier | 100 participants / month | 1,000 participants / month |
| Reward types | Credits, discount codes, points wallet, access unlocks. Gift cards and bank payouts listed as coming soon | Your own credits, one currency, nothing else |
| Program types available today | Manual submissions. Their FAQ states in-app event tracking and referrals are still being built | 26 link task templates plus any custom URL |
| Identity | User details passed at widget init, or an email + one-time-code fallback | A JWT you sign server-side on live keys; the user id never comes from the browser |
| Backend work to install | None required — the OTP fallback covers it | You must mint a signed token |
| Revenue share | None | None |
The darker column in each row is the one we think wins it. Several of them are theirs.

Where RewardBase is better
A comparison page with no section like this one is an advertisement. These are the places we would tell you to use them instead.
They can actually prove it happened
This is the real one. If you are paying $25 for a G2 review, the honour system is the wrong tool and RewardBase is the right one. Stickly has no answer here beyond "price the task so low that lying is not worth it" — which works for a $2 follow and does not work for a $25 review.
A wider reward menu
Discount codes, access unlocks and a points wallet are things Stickly deliberately does not have. We took one currency on purpose, and that cut is a limitation as much as it is a simplification.
No backend work to install
Their email-and-code fallback means a front-end developer can finish the integration alone. Stickly requires a signed token on live keys, which means touching your server. That is a deliberate trade — without verification, identity is the only thing stopping an unbounded credit mint — but it is more work.
Questions people actually ask
- Is Stickly cheaper than RewardBase?
- The headline numbers are the same — $19 a month, $199 for lifetime. The volume you get for them is not. RewardBase’s free tier is 100 participants a month and Stickly’s is 1,000; RewardBase’s $19 covers 1,000 and meters upward from there ($29 at 2,500, $49 at 5,000, $99 at 10,000), while Stickly’s $19 covers 10,000. Stickly bills in Indian rupees through Razorpay, which RewardBase does not.
- Which one actually checks that a user followed you?
- RewardBase, by having the user upload proof and having you look at it. Stickly does not check, and says so on its own pricing page. Neither of us can check automatically — no social platform exposes an API that would let anyone verify a follow or a star reliably, so the real choice is between a human review queue and no queue at all.
- Can I move from one to the other?
- Both are a script tag and a webhook, so the integration work is a day either way. The part that does not move is the history: claims and approvals live in whichever dashboard recorded them.
- Does either take a cut of revenue?
- No. Neither RewardBase nor Stickly charges a revenue share or a transaction fee. That is worth knowing because the referral tools people compare these against — Cello, PartnerStack, Rewardful — generally do.
Try it before you decide.
The free plan covers 1,000 participants a month and takes one script tag. That is a cheaper way to settle this than reading another comparison page.
