Partner.io vs Introw
Get the whole partner platform. Not an add-on to your CRM.
Introw runs your partner program inside HubSpot or Salesforce, quote-based, with paid add-ons. Partner.io gives you the whole platform: a portal on your domain, tiers, payouts and Deal Surround, at a published price.

FAQ
Switching questions
- Is Partner.io a good Introw alternative?
- If your team lives in HubSpot or Salesforce and only needs co-selling views, Introw is a strong fit. If you want a standalone portal on your domain, unlimited tiers, built-in payouts and Deal Surround at a published price, Partner.io is the better fit. It still syncs two-way with HubSpot, and with Pipedrive and Shopify too.
- Can I import my existing partners?
- Yes. Send us your Introw export and we import partners, referral links and commission structures for you. Tracking continues during the switch.
- How long does it take to switch?
- Most teams are live within days. Customers switching from other PRMs have gone live in under two weeks including migration.
- Do you charge a fee on partner payouts?
- No. Payouts run through your Stripe account with no Partner.io platform fee on commissions.
- What does Partner.io cost?
- One plan at $79 per seat per month for the people on your team who sign in. Partners are free and unlimited. There is a 7-day trial with no card and no setup fee.
