What you receive
Every build includes the same foundations. The mockups on this page are coded components with sample data, not screenshots of someone else's system.

Compensation plans
Volume is attributed once per period, then every bonus family computes from that single attribution. That is what makes hybrids safe: no double counting, no drift between bonuses.
| Plan | Structure | Primary payout | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binary | Two legs, weaker leg matching | Pairing bonus with caps and carryover | Details |
| Unilevel | Unlimited width by level | Level percentages plus matching bonuses | Details |
| Matrix | Fixed width and depth, forced fill | Level payouts inside the matrix | Details |
| Board | Boards that split when full | Board completion and re-entry bonuses | Details |
| Monoline | One global line | Depth levels from the single line | Details |
| Hybrid | Two or more bonus families | For example binary pairs plus unilevel matching | Details |
| Party plan | Host led events | Host rewards plus consultant commission | Details |

Delivery process
The same sequence for every build, whether the scope is one unilevel plan or a hybrid with crypto payouts.
1 to 2 weeks
We write your compensation plan down as testable rules: every bonus formula, rank requirement, cap, carryover rule and refund behavior. You review and sign off before any code is written.
2 to 3 weeks
We map the plan to modules, design the database around your genealogy structure, and build the back office and storefront interfaces in the design system you approve.
8 to 14 weeks
The commission engine comes first, with a test suite that runs your plan against hundreds of scenarios including edge cases like mid-period rank changes and cross-leg volume.
3 to 6 weeks
Ecommerce, payment processing, tax and payout rails connect to the engine. Mobile apps ship against the same API the web back office uses.
2 to 4 weeks
We load your real genealogy and run parallel commission cycles: our engine against your current payouts, reconciled line by line, until the numbers match. Then you launch.
Replacing an existing platform? The migration process adds genealogy extraction and a parallel run before cutover.
Apps and integrations
The apps are native experiences over the same API as the back office: rank progress, earnings, team activity and sharing tools that pre-fill compliant copy.
Shopify and WooCommerce attribution, autoship, tax and inventory.
Token or stablecoin rails with a dedicated ledger and per wallet audit.
Rank progress and volume trends for distributors, cohort views for corporate.
Argon2id password hashing, encrypted PII, SSO and enforced 2FA for corporate users.
Deeper dives: MLM mobile apps, replicated websites, crypto and blockchain payouts and ecommerce integration.

Licensed platforms are the right answer for standard plans and fast launches. Custom development wins when the plan is unusual, the integrations are deep, or per distributor fees are outrunning value.
| Factor | Custom build | Licensed platform |
|---|---|---|
| Compensation plan fit | Your exact rules, including edge cases | Closest template; edge cases often unsupported |
| Cost over 3 years | 12,000 to 120,000 dollars build plus maintenance | 1,000 to 10,000 dollars setup plus 500 to 5,000 dollars monthly |
| Time to launch | 3 to 6 months | 2 to 8 weeks |
| Source code | You own it | Vendor owns it |
| Plan changes | Configuration or a scoped change | Often a change request on the vendor roadmap |
| Scaling | Built for your distributor count from day one | Per distributor fees grow with success |
Work through the decision with the MLM software buyer checklist, then compare pricing models.
Engagement model
Projects run with a named delivery lead and a named engineer from first call to launch. You get weekly demos against the plan specification, a shared issue tracker your team can see, and a decision log recording every plan rule and why it was configured the way it was.
Payment follows milestones tied to working software: specification sign off, engine acceptance after the scenario suite passes, integration acceptance, and launch after the parallel run reconciles. If a milestone fails, the next invoice waits until it passes.
After launch the support window covers fixes, monitoring and plan adjustments. From there you either take the handover documentation and run it with your team, or continue on a monthly maintenance retainer that includes a change allowance. Both paths are priced in the open, in the contract, before work starts.

Most custom builds fall between 12,000 and 120,000 dollars. The main drivers are compensation plan complexity, ecommerce integrations and whether you need iOS and Android apps. Our pricing page breaks down each tier and what it includes.
A first release with one compensation plan, a distributor back office and standard integrations typically takes 3 to 6 months. Additional plan types, mobile apps or a platform migration add 1 to 3 months each.
Binary, unilevel, matrix, board, monoline, hybrid and party plan structures. Each plan ships with its exact rules: pairing and carryover for binaries, level payouts and matching for unilevel, width and depth caps for matrix plans.
Yes. We integrate distributor attribution, volume tracking and commission calculation with Shopify, WooCommerce and custom storefronts, so customer and distributor orders both pay into the tree correctly.
Yes. Migrations include genealogy with placement data (not just sponsorship), historical commission summaries and a parallel commission run so you can verify payouts match before going live.
Yes. Book a demo and we walk you through a working system with your compensation plan rules configured, including a commission run on sample data. Demo access is free and there is no obligation.
Bring your draft plan. In a 30 minute call we map it to software modules, flag the edge cases that break generic platforms, and give you a delivery estimate with timelines and costs.
