OpenPartner vs PartnerStack

OpenPartner is a partner attribution platform for tracking clicks, identity, revenue, and payouts. It is positioned for SaaS, ecommerce, and other businesses running partner programs, as well as creators promoting brands. Brands can optionally list offerings on the OpenPartner Network, where creators can browse programs and apply. Brands pay partners directly through Stripe Connect; OpenPartner does not hold money. Listed integrations include Stripe Billing webhooks and CRM workflows for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, and Copper, as well as Zapier and Make. The browser SDK is installed as @openpartner/sdk and ships ESM and CJS bundles with no runtime dependencies. Self-hosting uses Docker Compose for Postgres, the API, click router, and portal on one machine, and requires Docker 24+ with 2GB RAM minimum. Hosted data residency is in the US today; SOC 2 Type II is planned, and DPA support is available on request. Hosted Revshare is priced at 3% of GMV with no monthly fee; Flex is $49 per month plus 1.5% of GMV. A free self-hosted core is listed.

PartnerStack is a partner relationship management platform for SaaS companies building or scaling partner programs. It supports affiliate, referral, co-sell and influencer relationships, with multiple programs managed side by side. Companies can promote programs to active partners and use partner discovery and invitations to recruit. Automated onboarding journeys, training and resources help partners get started. The platform tracks partner-sourced leads and reports revenue, rewards paid and lifecycle stages. It calculates commissions and pays partners through the platform, while the company receives a single invoice. PartnerStack connects with marketing, sales, account mapping and AI visibility tools, and provides an API for custom integrations. It is available on web and API, and includes a partner portal, automated payouts and fraud prevention. PartnerStack says accounts have no limit on partners or internal users. Pricing is paid and confirmed during a demo, based on program size, feature needs and support level; there is no free plan. All plans include guided onboarding and initial setup.
