Dub

Dub is a modern, open-source link management and attribution platform designed for marketing teams, developers, and creators. Unlike traditional URL shorteners, Dub focuses on deep attribution, allowing users to track the entire customer journey from a simple click to a final conversion, whether that occurs in Stripe or Shopify. The platform is divided into two core segments: Dub Links, for high-performance branded links and analytics, and Dub Partners, a comprehensive infrastructure for managing affiliate and referral programs.

The Dub Affiliate Program offers a performance-based opportunity for partners to promote a best-in-class link infrastructure tool. Affiliates earn a recurring commission for the first year of a referred customer's subscription. The program is built on Dub's own "Dub Partners" technology, providing a transparent and developer-friendly dashboard where affiliates can monitor clicks, leads, and sales in real-time. This level of granular data is a significant advantage for affiliates who rely on precise data to optimize their promotional strategies across different channels.

Partners benefit from a dual-sided incentive model. While affiliates earn a percentage of the revenue, new users who sign up through an affiliate link receive a discount on their initial subscription months, making the conversion path more attractive. The program supports global payouts and handles tax compliance automatically. Accepted partners typically include content creators, agencies, and SaaS founders who cater to a technical or marketing-focused audience. The platform's open-core nature and high-quality API make it particularly appealing to the developer community and indie hackers looking for a robust alternative to legacy tools like Bitly.
