# Cloud MLM Software: Expanded Reference ## What it is Cloud MLM Software is a multi-level marketing platform for network marketing companies. It was launched in 2015 and now serves MLM companies worldwide. The platform supports the seven main compensation plan types used in the industry: binary, unilevel, matrix, monoline, board, generation and hybrid. It is built as a single integrated system covering genealogy, commissions, payouts, e-commerce, replicated distributor sites, KYC, tax compliance, AI-assisted administration and dozens of other modules. The platform is recognized by GoodFirms as a "Top MLM Software", and it is listed on G2 (https://www.g2.com/products/cloud-mlm/reviews) and Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/cloudmlmsoftware.com). On GetApp, Cloud MLM Software holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 39 reviews. Companies using Cloud MLM Software include Healy, Bitcointaf, Sparismo, UP1, RMX, Grinity, IPRX and NYX. ## Pricing and demo Cloud MLM Software is licensed once, not subscribed to. The one-time licence starts at USD 750 with no monthly or annual fee. There is a free live demo with full feature access and no signup required. Support is included with the licence. Add-ons such as mobile apps, e-wallet, custom themes and integrations are quoted separately. Refunds are available within seven days of launch where the product does not function as documented. See https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/pricing/ for current details. ## Source code and ownership Cloud MLM Software is delivered as a self-hostable application. On final payment the buyer receives the full Laravel (PHP) application source code and the database schema, and may host it on their own infrastructure, modify it, and put their own developers on it. Self-hosted deployments keep the database in the customer's own custody. This pairs a source-code grant with data ownership in a way most vendors in this market do not offer. See https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/mlm-software-source-code/. ## The seven supported compensation plans ### Binary MLM Plan Distributors build two legs (left and right). Commissions are calculated on the weaker leg with carry-forward and spillover logic. Common variants include 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 matching ratios. Australian binary, click binary and stair-step binary variants are all supported. ### Unilevel MLM Plan Each distributor has unlimited width on the first level. Commissions are paid by level (e.g. 10% on level 1, 5% on level 2, etc.). Best suited for relationship-driven recruiting where uplines actively coach width rather than depth. ### Matrix MLM Plan A forced matrix with a fixed width and depth (e.g. 3x9, 4x7, 5x5). Recruits beyond the configured width spill into the next available slot. Pays compressed commissions for each filled level. ### Monoline MLM Plan A single line of sponsorship across the entire company. Every new distributor is added to the bottom of one line, so commissions flow up automatically to existing distributors regardless of who personally sponsored whom. ### Board MLM Plan Cycle-based revolving matrix. Each board fills, splits or pays out, and qualifying distributors re-enter at the top of a new board. Variants include 2x2, 3x3 and ladder boards. ### Generation MLM Plan Pays overrides on a "generation" basis: a generation is defined by the depth at which the first qualifying distributor appears in each leg. Used by companies that want to reward leadership development across many levels. ### Hybrid MLM Plan Custom combinations of the above. Cloud MLM Software supports configurable rules so a single plan can include binary commission on the front end and unilevel or matrix bonuses on the back end. ## Module surface - Genealogy and downline visualization (binary, unilevel, matrix, board and monoline trees) - Commission engine with daily, weekly and monthly run modes - E-wallet with internal transfers, withdrawals and currency conversion - Payouts to 100+ payment providers and country-specific gateways - KYC and AML compliance workflows - Replicated distributor websites with editable templates per locale - E-commerce storefront with cart, coupons, subscriptions and dropship support - Order management, returns and refunds - Inventory and warehouse management with multi-location support - Tax compliance: GST, VAT, sales tax engines per region - Affiliate, broadcaster and influencer modules - Lead capture, CRM and email/SMS automation - Training center with courses, certificates and gamification - Rank advancement engine with badges, leaderboards and quotas - AI Agent for administrators (formerly "AI Copilot"): natural language commands for reporting, audits and rule changes - Mobile apps (iOS and Android) for distributors and admins - Multi-currency, multi-language and multi-tenant support - Custom reports and dashboards - API access and webhook integrations Dedicated module pages: - [Compensation Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/compensation-module/): Configurable commission, bonus and rank calculation engine. - [E-Commerce Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/ecommerce-module/): Integrated storefront, shopping cart, subscriptions and order management. - [E-Wallet Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/e-wallet-module-for-mlm-software/): Internal distributor ledger for commissions, transfers and withdrawal requests. - [Genealogy Tree](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/genealogy/): Interactive visual tree for binary, unilevel, matrix, board and monoline networks. - [KYC Documentation](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/kyc-documentation/): Identity document upload, review and approval workflows for distributors. - [Compliance Modules](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/compliance-modules/): Tax calculation, income disclosure and jurisdictional rule enforcement tools. - [Marketing Automation](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/marketing-automation/): Lead capture pages, referral funnels and automated campaign triggers. - [Analytics](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/analytics/): Dashboards and exports for sales volume, commission liability and distributor activity. - [Customer Engagement Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/customer-engagement-module/): Loyalty, onboarding and retention workflows for customers and distributors. - [Emails](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/emails/): Event-driven transactional email notifications and templates. - [Mass Email Sending Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/mass-email-sending-module/): Bulk broadcast email tool for field announcements and promotions. - [Auto-Responder](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/auto-responder/): Scheduled follow-up sequences for leads and newly enrolled distributors. - [E-Voucher Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/e-voucher-for-mlm-software/): E-pin and voucher generation for enrollment and product checkout. - [Ticket System Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/ticket-system-module-for-mlm-software/): Internal helpdesk with ticket categories, assignments and status tracking. - [Multi-Currency Module](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/multi-currency-module/): Multi-currency product pricing, exchange rates and payout ledgers. - [Multi-Lingual System](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/multi-lingual-system/): Localized interface and content management across supported languages. - [Backup Manager](https://cloudmlmsoftware.com/backup-manager/): Scheduled database backups and recovery point management. ## Integrations - Payment gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Finpay, plus 100+ regional providers - Accounting: QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Zoho Books - CRM: HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce - Communication: Twilio, WhatsApp Business, SendGrid, Mailchimp - E-commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart - Authentication: Google, Facebook, Apple, OTP via SMS and email - Crypto wallets and exchanges for crypto-paying plans ## AI Agent (renamed from AI Copilot) The AI Agent is an in-product assistant for company administrators.
