OpenPartner vs Simple Kuma

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.

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.
