The problem

Building an audience the old way is broken.

Ads cost more every quarter, reach drops every algorithm update, and the audience you build on someone else's platform isn't really yours.

Ads keep getting more expensive

CPMs are up year over year and conversion rates aren't keeping pace. You're paying more to reach fewer of the right people.

Algorithms decide who sees you

Even subscribers who asked to hear from you only see your posts if a ranking model decides to show them. That isn't a relationship — it's a lottery.

You don't actually own the audience

A platform pivot, a policy change or a single suspended account can wipe out years of work. An email list you export and host is the only audience you truly control.

What you get

Everything you need to grow a list you actually own.

A complete referral marketing platform — campaign pages, share links, reward tiers, analytics and broadcasts — built for creators and small teams who want results without a six-figure martech stack.

High-converting campaign pages

Hosted lead-capture pages designed and tested to turn visitors into subscribers. Set a headline, an incentive and a hero image — your campaign is live.

Built-in viral referrals

Every subscriber automatically gets their own share link. Friends sign up through it, the original subscriber climbs the reward ladder, and your list grows on its own.

Export anytime, no lock-in

Download the full subscriber list as CSV, including referral relationships, whenever you want. Cancel and your data is yours to keep.

Reward tiers that keep people sharing

Configure milestones (3 referrals, 10 referrals, 25 referrals) with the rewards you choose. Subscribers see live progress and unlock perks instantly.

Live analytics

See total subscribers, top referrers, conversion rate and growth-from-referrals on one dashboard. No spreadsheets, no exports needed to know how a campaign is performing.

Email broadcasts through your own SMTP

Send updates to your subscribers through Gmail, Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES — whichever provider you already use. We don't proxy your mail, so deliverability and cost stay with you.

How it works

Up and running in three steps.

Most users have their first campaign live in under 10 minutes. No designer, no developer, no integrations required to get started.

Create a campaign

Pick a name, write a one-line incentive ("Join the waitlist and get early access"), upload a hero image. Your hosted lead-capture page is generated instantly.

Share the link

Drop the campaign URL on social, email it to your existing list, or embed it on your site. Every new signup gets their own personal referral link the moment they subscribe — no setup required from them.

Watch it compound

Subscribers invite friends to climb the reward ladder. You see top referrers, conversion rate and growth from referrals in real time. Export to CSV or push to Mailchimp / ConvertKit / ActiveCampaign whenever you're ready.

How we compare

Built to be the simplest, most honest referral platform on the market.

Most tools in this category either price out small teams or hide the features you actually need behind enterprise tiers. We don't.

Questions before you sign up

Things buyers ask us most often.

How is this different from a regular email tool like Mailchimp or ConvertKit?

We don't replace your email tool — we sit in front of it. Global Web Technologies captures and grows your list using viral referrals, then pushes new subscribers into Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign or whatever you already use. Think of us as the acquisition layer, not the email service.

Do I need a credit card to start the trial?

No. You get 14 days to use the Business or Professional plan with no card on file. Add billing details when you're ready to keep going.

Who actually sends the broadcast emails?

Your SMTP server does. You connect Gmail, Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES or whichever provider you already pay for. We never relay broadcasts through our platform, so deliverability and any sending costs stay with you — not us.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your subscribers and referral data are retained for 30 days after cancellation so you can export them. After 30 days they're permanently deleted. We never sell or share data with third parties.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Yes. EU/EEA/UK visitors see GDPR-specific consent wording; visitors elsewhere see a simpler opt-in. Consent text, timestamp and country are stored with each subscriber. You can permanently delete any subscriber on request from the campaign editor.

Can I run multiple campaigns from one account?

Yes. Business covers up to 5 active campaigns, Professional up to 25, Enterprise unlimited.

What's the difference between this and a "viral loop" tool like Viral Loops or KickoffLabs?

Honest answer: the core referral mechanic is similar across the category. We differentiate on three things — broadcasts through your own SMTP (so you control deliverability and sending costs), unlimited CSV exports with no upsell, and SMS verification plus custom domains included on our starting plan instead of gated behind enterprise tiers or paid add-ons. See the comparison table above for the full picture.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — one click from your Stripe billing portal. No cancellation calls, no retention specialists, no fine print.
