AdvocatePilot difference
Where AdvocatePilot is different
AdvocatePilot is strongest once the program is live and real money is involved: which referrals are genuine, which rewards to approve or hold, and what finance needs exported at the end of the month.
One flat price with the API and webhooks included, not sold per integration.
Advocates get a personal portal link with no login to forget.
Campaigns, referrals, and rewards live in one workspace instead of separate modules.
