Comparison
PromoteKit vs Reditus
Another infrastructure-versus-distribution pairing, colored by strong niche identities. PromoteKit builds the best Paddle-native tracking experience for indie SaaS — focused, modern, minimal. Reditus builds a marketplace where B2B affiliates discover products — supply-first, free to start.
PromoteKit users arrive with recruits (their audiences, customers, creator friends) and need pleasant infrastructure honoring Paddle's merchant-of-record quirks. Reditus users arrive with nothing but a product and need introductions more than features.
Ownership economics differ sharply: PromoteKit keeps your program wholly yours on friendly fixed pricing; Reditus trades partial relationship-mediation and network-norm commission expectations for immediate reach, on MRR-tiered pricing that starts at zero.
Both stay deliberately light on heavy operations (fraud queues, automated clawbacks, tax pipelines) — fine at indie scale, structural limits beyond it. Sequencing advice applies: source anywhere, but run the program on infrastructure you own.
