Numok vs Simple Kuma

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.

Simple Kuma is a self-hosted affiliate tracker for monitoring clicks, costs, and conversions on infrastructure the user controls. Campaigns can include traffic sources, offers, landing pages, and tracking links, with real-time campaign statistics. Server-side JavaScript and PHP capture provide redirectless tracking intended to preserve tracking tokens. Its mobile-friendly dashboard shows clicks, conversions, revenue, ROI, visitor logs, and campaign data. REST API v1 supports campaign, offer, and statistics management using Bearer API keys, with a documented limit of 120 requests per minute per key. The project repository describes Meta/Facebook ad cost sync, Google Ads cost sync, and Google conversion delivery. A guided installer covers requirements, database connection, and administrator setup. Hosting requires PHP 8.2 or later, MySQL 8 or later or MariaDB 10.3 or later, and Apache or Nginx. The maker says data stays on the user's server, and the code is published under AGPL-3.0. The Free forever plan costs nothing and lists unlimited campaigns, clicks, domains, offers, and traffic sources.
