Gophish vs MetaCompliance

Gophish is an open-source framework for testing an organization's exposure to phishing through simulations. It is intended for penetration testers and businesses conducting real-world exercises. Users can create or import phishing templates and edit them in a browser-based HTML editor. Campaigns send emails in the background and can be scheduled. Results arrive near real time: recipient timelines show email opens, link clicks, and submitted credentials, and campaign results can be exported for reports. For programmatic work, Gophish provides a REST API and a Python client. It can run from a downloaded binary or the official Docker container, across API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, and Windows environments. The Gophish Community Edition repository includes an MIT License, permitting use, copying, modification, distribution, and sale subject to its terms. The plan is free at free. Listed attachment tracking covers docx, docm, pptx, xlsx, xlsm, txt, html, and ics files. Version 0.12.1 added configurable trusted origins to the CSRF handler for configurations where TLS terminates at an upstream load balancer.
