If a referral isn’t tracked, you can’t reward it. And if you don’t reward it, it doesn’t happen again.
Every advocate gets a unique link to share by text, email, or social media. Every click and conversion is credited automatically.
Print a personal QR code on business cards, door hangers, yard signs, invoices, truck wraps, and direct mail. Every scan is tracked like a click.
When a new customer says “my neighbor Sarah recommended you,” ReferralHero credits that referral by name. No link needed.
Customers who'd rather make the introduction themselves can add a neighbor's name and contact info in seconds.
GTR: Tracks referrals that are entered in its app, shared through a link or QR code, or logged by your sales reps. There’s no name-based attribution, so when a new customer says “my neighbor Sarah recommended you,” that referral only counts if someone remembers to enter it into the app.
Book A DemoCRM matching: credits every referral to the closed sale, job, or deal.
Works with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Workiz, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Zoho, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, Zapier, n8n, and Make, plus 500+ more integrations.
We're biased but we're not blind. Here's the honest side-by-side.
Last updated October 2026.
You know your customers love your business… and you want to reward them for sharing that love with their neighbors.
You're already getting referrals… but can't tell who sent them, so they never get rewarded.
You're on GTR and not seeing the referrals you expected.
You want QR codes on your trucks, invoices, and yard signs bringing in booked jobs.

ReferralHero starts at $249/mo with no setup fee. GTR starts at $399/mo plus a $500 setup fee.
GTR publishes its pricing, but the monthly number isn’t the whole story. Every GTR plan adds a one-time setup fee of $500 to $2,500, and there’s no free trial. Here’s how the plans line up.

ReferralHero tracks all 14 events below, including offline purchases and phone calls. GTR fully tracks 6.
Knowing which conversion events to track is what separates a referral program that grows your service business from one that just generates noise. Ask yourself: “Which touchpoints actually drive new customers?” Here’s how each platform handles event tracking.

ReferralHero supports all 9 features below, with 13 social sharing options. GTR fully supports 1 and partly supports 2, and its API isn’t included on the Starter plan.
Building a successful referral program for a service business isn’t just about handing customers an app. ReferralHero lets you customize every widget, form, and reward rule yourself, so your program fits your brand and the way you sell. With GTR, the app is configured for you, and changes go through their team.

ReferralHero is fully white-label on the Pro plan ($399/mo). GTR brands its app with your logo and colors, but its emails send from donotreply@getthereferral.com.
Your brand. Your customers. ReferralHero is 100% white-label on Pro ($399/mo), from the widget to the emails to the link your customers share, so you own the brand experience from day one.

ReferralHero sends all 14 messages below by email and SMS. GTR sends 6, mostly by email only.
ReferralHero is built to grow your service business through automated touchpoints that keep customers engaged at every stage of the referral journey, not just when a reward is sent. GTR emails advocates when a referral’s status changes or a reward is paid, and its texts are mostly about downloading the app. Here’s how the two platforms compare on engagement automation.

ReferralHero connects to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, and GoHighLevel, plus every tool below and 500+ more. Of the 21 tools listed, GTR lists 7: JobNimbus, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Zapier, and webhooks.
When choosing the right platform you want to make sure it connects to your existing marketing stack. GTR focuses on home improvement CRMs like Leap and MarketSharp. If you run on ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro, it doesn’t list either.
