ERIN

🎯 Should you use ERIN?

Buy if: You need employees to actually open and act on referral requests from their phones without bugging HR.

Skip if: You don't have referral bonuses locked down or your company culture doesn't reward internal sharing.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: No public trial means you're locked into a sales call and custom pricing before seeing the platform.
• ●Referral prompts: Push notifications land on phones, employees swipe matches, submit names in under 90 seconds.
• ●Bonus tracking: Shows employees exactly how much they've earned and when payouts hit, removes the "did my referral count" confusion.

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●No published pricing means you're negotiating blind, and smaller teams report sticker shock after the demo.
• ●AI match recommendations only work if your job descriptions are specific, otherwise employees get spammed with irrelevant suggestions and stop opening the app.

💸 Is it worth the money?

Custom pricing starts somewhere north of $10k annually based on headcount, but no one publishes the floor. If referrals are already 20% of your hires, the ROI math works, but if you're starting from zero culture, you're paying to fix a people problem with software.

🆚 If not this

• ●Boon -> Cheaper referral software with gamification but weaker mobile experience and no AI matching.
• ●Drafted -> Free for small teams, decent tracking, but manual referral prompts instead of smart recommendations.

🎯 Final verdict

Buy if referrals are already working and you want employees to stop ignoring email blasts, skip if you're hoping software will create a referral culture that doesn't exist.
