Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Stefan, CEO & co-founder of Cello here - and stoked to announce that we’ve just hit a milestone of 1 million monthly enabled Cello users! To celebrate, we're offering an awesome deal (details below) but first let me tell you what people are excited about. What is Cello? 💜 Cello is the only all-in-one referral platform to reward your users and affiliates for sharing the product they love - yours! Our platform lets you launch a referral program in hours and run it on autopilot. What problem do we solve? 💡 Great products deserve to be shared. So why is it so hard to let users share the products they love? High customer acquisition costs and pricey marketing channels hinder growth, especially in the B2B SaaS space, where easy-to-set-up referral tools are lacking. As a serial founder and former revenue lead at Shore, I faced the difficulty of scaling word of mouth. We wanted a referral program for our users but couldn't find a suitable tool. Building one internally proved harder than expected. Frustrated by the lack of solutions, I teamed up with my co-founder Bob to create Cello. How do we compare to competitors? ✨ Seamlessly Integrated: Blends naturally with your tool for effortless sharing. 🎁 Personal Rewards: Offer users and affiliates personal monetary rewards for sharing. 🔔 Continuous Engagement: Keep referrals active with notifications. ⚙️ Automated Setup: Easy to set up and fully automated, freeing you to grow your program. 🤖 AI-Based Improvements: Enhance your program with Cello insights and recommendations. ✅ Full Compliance: No worries about tax reporting with personal rewards. 🤝🏻 Success-Based: Test your channel in hours and pay only for success! Who do we solve it for? 🎯 Our focus is B2B SaaS, but we also support platforms and have several B2C customers. How well does Cello work? 😻 Many top SaaS companies, such as Typeform, Butter, Join, and tl;dv, already use Cello. The results are impressive: up to 65% free-to-paid conversion rates and additional monthly revenue growth of > 15% via referrals. Why try Cello today? 🤟🏻 Get started with Cello for free today! For a limited time (until the end of June), enjoy a €1000 discount on any paid plan. Leverage the power of word-of-mouth marketing and watch your customer base grow. We're excited to launch Cello and eager for your feedback after 2.5 years of development. PS: Thanks, @chrismessina, for your trust, support, and brilliant advice. Let's reinvent how companies sell their products together.😍

@chrismessina @stefan_bader Hi Stefan, congrats on hitting 1 million monthly users with Cello! That's a very impressive milestone. As a developer, I'm particularly interested in the features that streamline referral program creation and management. Cello's focus on automation and user engagement seems like a great fit for B2B SaaS companies. Do you have an API or developer program that allows for deeper integration with existing platforms? This could potentially unlock even more powerful referral program customization for Cello users. Looking forward to learning more about Cello and how it can help businesses grow!

💎 Pixel perfection
Heck yeah! I always skimmed the internet for a good referral programme vendor and all of them seemed intransparent, and a shit ton of work to implement.. With cello, it's easy af! I remember we got rolling in a few days on production with tl;dv, and are benefiting from customer-led-growth ever since, thanks to Cello! Also, the team is icing on the cake. Glad to partner with them since 2 Years :)

@raphael_allstadt thanks a ton for trusting in us early on!! I believe I speak for all startup founders, that without the early design partners, the ones who are crazy enough to take the risk of trying new tools and products, startups wouldn't have any chance. Therefore, also kudos to you and the tl;dv team for having the balls :) It's been a pleasure to work with your team since day 1.

Thanks @raphael_allstadt...the Cello team loves tl;dv and collaborating to create such an awesome referral experience together! And yes, you guys might still be the record holder for shortest implementation time mostly done on a hackathon Saturday. 😃

Upviral.com exists since 2005 and it's so much more advanced than whatever appears on the market. Don't believe the hype, the superlatives and the Marketing fluff!

Thanks, for your opinion. We at Cello don't see Upviral as a direct competitor as Cello focuses on SaaS & platform products, whereas Upviral focuses on serving eCommerce businesses. This might sound like a small difference but the actual resulting product differences are huge (in-product implementation, mobile app SDKs, integrations, workflows, payouts & payout compliance ...). If you're interested to learn more about it, please feel free to reach out via LinkedIN :)
