Binom
Self-hosted PHP-based affiliate tracker.
Binom is a self-hosted (you-own-the-VPS) affiliate tracker, popular with high-volume operators who want to avoid per-event cloud-tracker fees. One-time license $109/mo or a perpetual license. Strong on speed (sub-10ms redirects on a $20 VPS). Tracker code lives on your domain → cleaner from a network-policy perspective. Trade-off: ops-heavy if you don't run a VPS already.
Example
Search-arb operator at 10M clicks/month moves from Voluum ($1,800/mo at that volume) to Binom ($109/mo + $50 VPS). Saves $20k+/year, gains direct DB access for custom reporting.
