OpenPartner vs Post Affiliate Pro

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.
