Numok vs Post Affiliate Pro

Numok is an open-source affiliate platform that connects to Stripe to track sales, calculate commissions, and queue payouts. Its reporting includes conversion rates, revenue by affiliate, and click-to-sale timelines. Affiliates get tracking links, an earnings dashboard, and payout history. The site says an affiliate program can be launched in under 15 minutes, and an admin dashboard and affiliate portal demo can be viewed without signup using live data. The free plan is self-hosted and includes the full source code for customization; the listed Open Source plan has unlimited affiliates and no per-seat fees, though no plan price is stated. Numok runs on the web or on your own servers. Installation calls for PHP 8.1 or higher, MySQL 5.7 or higher, Apache or Nginx, Composer, an SSL certificate, and a Stripe account. Setup also requires configuring Stripe webhook events. Its security checklist recommends HTTPS, secure file permissions, changing default database credentials, and using a server firewall. Bug reports and feature requests go through GitHub Issues.
