A Viral Loops alternative, built for events
Viral Loops is a good product and it has been doing this for years. If you are an online shop running a refer-a-friend offer, they are probably still your answer. We built ViralTree for a narrower case: a festival, a club night, a conference, a course — a sign-up campaign where the people who join can bring the next ones, and where the tickets are sold somewhere we do not control.
What is actually different
It works with the ticketing you already use
Add one line to your own page, or send people to a page we host. You do not have to move off Eventbrite, DICE, Skiddle or anything else.
The free tier runs a real campaign
250 people, no time limit. Enough to run a small event end to end and find out whether it actually brings anyone.
A clear free-to-paid start
Start free through 250 people, then £27/month for 1,000 total. Add a card and explicitly authorise billing at person 251 when you are ready.
What each costs
ViralTree counts stored people once per workspace and adds workspace totals across your organisation. Joining several campaigns in one workspace counts once; the same email in two workspaces counts twice. Free includes 250 people with no time limit. Starter is £27/month for 1,000 total including the first 250.
| Plan | People | Paying monthly | Paying annually |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 250 | £0 | £0 |
| Starter | 1,000 | £27 | Monthly only |
| Growth | 5,000 | £77 | £57 |
| Scale | 15,000 | £129 | £96 |
| Max | 40,000 | £219 | £164 |
Starter is monthly only. Growth, Scale and Max retain annual billing. For current competitor prices and counting terms, check Viral Loops’ pricing.
Where Viral Loops is the better choice
- You sell online, not tickets. They have a Shopify integration and templates built around e-commerce. We have neither.
- You need it wired into your existing stack today. They integrate with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ConvertKit, Substack and around a dozen others. We have a webhook and a CSV export.
- You want someone to set it up for you. Their upper tiers include an account manager. We are new, and we are self-serve.
- You need a track record. They have years of customers behind them. We are launching this month, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
