The best PayPal analytics tools of 2026

Putler combines PayPal with Stripe, Braintree, 2Checkout, WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, eBay, Etsy, Google Analytics and Mailchimp, then cleans the data into one set of reports. It converts currencies and time zones, merges duplicate customer records, and reports on sales, refunds, products, customer lifetime value and subscription metrics such as MRR and churn across all your stores. RFM segments and revenue forecasts are included too.

When you connect PayPal you can choose to import refunds along with transactions, products and customers. Your support team can also search orders, issue refunds and manage subscriptions from inside Putler instead of logging in to PayPal, and you can share access with your team while limiting what each person can do.

Pricing follows your monthly revenue, with unlimited orders on every plan. It costs $20 a month up to $10,000 in revenue, $50 for $10,000 to $30,000, $100 for $30,000 to $50,000 and $150 for $50,000 to $100,000, rising to $2,250 for $3 million to $5 million. The 14-day trial needs no card and builds reports from your previous 90 days of data.

Putler says plans allow different numbers of data sources but doesn't publish the count for each plan, so check before you connect a long list of stores.

ChartMogul turns subscription billing data into MRR, ARR, churn, lifetime value and per-customer MRR movements. Its PayPal integration reads data from PayPal's Subscriptions API, billing agreements and Smart Payment Buttons set up for subscriptions.

It covers PayPal subscriptions only. One-off payment buttons don't come through, so a store that mostly sells single orders through PayPal will get more from Putler. Setup has two quirks worth knowing. You upload your PayPal subscription profile IDs as CSV files, and ChartMogul imports three years of history for each one. PayPal also allows a single IPN address per account, so if another tool already uses it you'll need to forward notifications. New PayPal activity shows up in ChartMogul about three hours after it happens.

The free plan covers businesses up to $10,000 in MRR ($120,000 ARR) with one billing source. Starter costs $69 a month, or $57 billed yearly, for up to three team members. Pro costs $119 a month, or $99 billed yearly, with unlimited team members and five billing sources. Those are starting prices; both plans rise in tiers as your revenue grows. Enterprise starts at $19,900 a year. Paid plans have a 14-day trial with no card.

ChartMogul connects to 30+ billing systems, so it also works if you bill some customers through Stripe, Paddle or Chargebee.

Databox is a reporting dashboard that pulls figures from many tools into one screen. Its PayPal connection brings in transaction figures such as gross amount, fees, refunds, shipping costs, pending payments, balance and average selling price, with breakdowns such as balance by currency.

The point of Databox is putting those PayPal numbers beside the rest of your business. You can show PayPal revenue next to ad spend, email results or CRM deals, then send a scheduled report to your team. It also has an AI analyst that writes performance summaries and flags unusual changes.

The free plan covers one user, three data sources, one dashboard and report, and daily syncing. Paid plans start with Analyst at $71 a month billed yearly; the pricing page's FAQ quotes different figures for the team plans, so confirm the price at checkout. Any plan can be trialled for 14 days without a card, though your data stops syncing at the end if you haven't added payment details.

The PayPal metrics Databox lists are transaction figures. If you need MRR and churn from PayPal subscriptions, ChartMogul goes further.

Before paying for another tool, look at what PayPal already gives you. The Reporting Dashboard in a PayPal business account holds a set of downloadable reports, and some can be scheduled to arrive by SFTP.

The Balance Reconciliation Report matches payments, fees, refunds, disputes and withdrawals, and PayPal recommends it for daily reconciliation. The Activity Download Report lists every transaction that affects your balance, plus pending and declined activity. The Disbursement Reconciliation Report tracks payouts to your bank, including failed payouts. There is also a Case Report for disputes and chargebacks, an Attempts and Declines report with decline reasons, a Monthly Statement, and a Recurring Payments Profile report for older subscription setups.

These reports answer accounting questions well: where did this payout come from, what did PayPal charge in fees, which disputes are open. They don't give you trend charts, MRR, or a view that includes your Stripe or Shopify sales. For that, export them to a spreadsheet or connect one of the tools above.

If your real question is what PayPal did to your profit and loss, an accounting tool answers it better than an analytics dashboard. Xero has a PayPal app, published by PayPal itself and listed in the Xero App Store since June 2015. It brings PayPal transactions into Xero so you can view and reconcile them there, and it adds a Pay now button to your invoices so clients can pay through PayPal, PayPal Credit or Venmo.

Once PayPal sits in your books next to your bank accounts, Xero's standard reports show revenue, fees and cash flow with PayPal included. That is the view your accountant wants at tax time, with PayPal's fees recorded alongside the income.

Xero's US plans cost $27 a month for Early, $59 for Growing and $97 for Established. When we checked, Xero was offering 80% off the first three months for new subscribers.

Xero won't show you customer lifetime value, top products or subscription churn. Use it alongside Putler or ChartMogul if you need both views.

If you haven't set up recurring billing yet, Pabbly Subscription Billing can run it through PayPal and report on it in the same place. It supports PayPal among 35+ gateways, including Stripe, Square, Razorpay and Authorize.net, so you can offer PayPal and card payments side by side and see the results together.

You build embedded, pop-up or hosted checkout pages, and Pabbly handles renewals, a self-service customer portal and dunning emails with automatic payment retries on paid plans. Its reporting covers payment analytics in real time. Pabbly doesn't list MRR or churn reports, so treat this as billing with basic reporting rather than a full analytics tool.

The free plan covers up to 50 customers. Standard costs $19 a month for up to 1,000 customers, or $14 a month on a three-year prepay. Unlimited costs $79 a month and adds a multi-tier affiliate module for paying referral commissions. Pabbly charges no transaction fee on any plan, though PayPal still takes its own.
