Numok vs Solid Affiliate

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.

Solid Affiliate is a WordPress plugin for building and managing an affiliate program for WooCommerce stores. A four-step setup wizard is provided, and the maker says coding is not needed. Store owners can create registration forms and give affiliates a portal with activity feeds, notifications, and marketing assets. Commission rules can be set by affiliate, group, product, variation, or category, with options for lifetime commissions and revenue sharing. Affiliates can use referral links, custom slugs, coupons, or personalized landing pages; cookie duration is configurable. Payouts include PayPal, manual processing, and store credits from the WordPress dashboard. Fraud controls include self-referral prevention, refund protection, commission grace periods, and optional IP logging. Listed out-of-the-box integrations are WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions. Solid Affiliate says it uses first-party cookies and does not store or process users’ personal data. It is paid, has a free trial, and charges no monthly fee. Annual plans are $149.60 a year for one site, $174.65 a year for three sites, and $224.70 a year for ten sites. It does not support multi-currency WooCommerce stores or multi-level marketing.
