The best Stripe analytics software of 2026
ChartMogul is the best pick for most Stripe businesses: it is free until you reach $10K in MRR and can add other billing systems as you grow. Baremetrics adds paid tools for failed payments and cancellations; confirm its price with the company, because its own pages disagree. ProfitWell Metrics from Paddle is free with no revenue cap listed. If you bill through Stripe Billing, look at the Billing analytics already in your Stripe Dashboard before you pay for anything.

ChartMogul: best for most Stripe subscription businesses
ChartMogul reads your Stripe subscriptions and turns them into MRR, ARR, churn and other SaaS metrics, with filters for segmenting customers and revenue. It can also pull lead and trial data from HubSpot or Intercom and join it to billing, so you can follow a trial through to the revenue it brings in. Workflow automations can act on subscriber activity, and updates can go to Slack.
The Free plan covers you until $10K in MRR ($120K ARR) with one billing source. Starter starts at $69 a month, or $57 a month billed annually, and adds CRM sync and Slack sharing for three team members. It allows one billing system such as Stripe plus two custom or third-party sources. Pro starts at $119 a month ($99 billed annually) and adds unlimited team members, up to five billing systems in one view, two-way CRM sync and warehouse export. Both paid plans rise with your ARR, up to $849 a month for Starter and $1,439 for Pro at $10M ARR. Enterprise starts at $19,900 a year.
The reason to pick ChartMogul over the other Stripe tools here is how far it stretches. It imports from more than 30 billing, payment and accounting systems, including Chargebee, Recurly, Paddle, PayPal, App Store Connect and Google Play, so adding a second way to bill doesn't mean switching analytics tools. There's a 14-day trial with no card, and eligible early-stage startups get $50 a month off a paid plan for 12 months.
- Free until $10K MRR
- Imports from more than 30 billing and payment systems besides Stripe
- Joins HubSpot and Intercom lead and trial data to revenue
- 14-day trial without a card
- Free plan ends at $10K MRR
- A second billing system means paying for Pro
- Starter caps you at three team members
Free up to $10K MRR. Starter from $69 a month ($57 billed annually); Pro from $119 a month ($99 billed annually); both rise with ARR. Enterprise from $19,900 a year. Checked November 4, 2026.
Baremetrics: best for Stripe metrics plus failed-payment recovery
Baremetrics connects to Stripe and reports more than 28 subscription metrics, including MRR, ARR, churn and LTV. Every plan includes trial insights, automatic segments, customer data enrichment through Clearbit, email reports and chat support. Its price follows the ARR it tracks for you, never seats, so your whole team can log in.
Baremetrics' own pages disagree on price, so ask for a quote in writing before you budget. Its integrations page says it is free until you reach $180K ARR, which the pricing page doesn't repeat. The pricing page's plan cards list Launch from $75 a month for up to $360K ARR, Growth from $255 a month up to $3.6M ARR, adding custom dashboards, unlimited segmentation, benchmarks, goal tracking, advanced exports and Slack and Intercom integrations, and Scale from $1,152 a month, adding scenario planning, budget and expense tracking, an analytics API and a dedicated support rep. The same page's FAQ quotes lower starting prices of $49, $189 and $749, and annual billing can take up to 35% off the listed price (checked November 4, 2026).
Baremetrics also sells tools to fix the leaks it shows you. Payment Recovery chases failed payments with timed reminders, card update forms and in-app paywalls, for a flat $129 a month or 10% of what it recovers. On the flat price, if it recovers less than your Baremetrics subscription costs, your next month is free. Cancellation Insights ($129 a month) collects cancellation reasons and sends follow-up emails after someone cancels.
Besides Stripe, Baremetrics lists Braintree, Chargebee and Recurly, with Paddle and Rebill in beta and PayPal marked as coming soon.
- Priced by tracked ARR, so seats cost nothing
- Payment Recovery with a money-back style guarantee on the flat price
- Cancellation feedback and follow-up emails as an add-on
- Its pricing page, FAQ and integrations page give different starting prices
- Each add-on costs $129 a month on top of the plan
- PayPal isn't connected yet
- Custom dashboards and benchmarks start on Growth
- Baremetrics doesn't say how long its free trial lasts
Pages disagree: plan cards list Launch from $75, Growth from $255 and Scale from $1,152 a month; the FAQ quotes $49, $189 and $749; the integrations page says free up to $180K ARR. Up to 35% off yearly. Payment Recovery $129 a month or 10% of recovered revenue; Cancellation Insights $129 a month. Checked November 4, 2026.
ProfitWell Metrics: best for free MRR and churn reporting at any size
ProfitWell Metrics is Paddle's free revenue reporting tool, and Paddle calls it completely free. You connect Stripe in one click and get MRR, churn, upgrades and downgrades, customer lifetime value, active customers and revenue per customer. On top of the core numbers it adds customer health scores, alerts for customers who look likely to cancel, segments by cohort and pricing plan, and benchmarks against about 30,000 companies.
You don't need to bill through Paddle to use it. Paddle lists Stripe, Chargebee, Braintree, Zuora and Recurly alongside its own billing, so the tool keeps working if you later move off Stripe. There's an API for sending the data to other tools.
Paddle's page lists no usage limits, revenue cap or paid tier for Metrics, which makes it the obvious first stop for a company that has outgrown spreadsheets but doesn't want another monthly bill. The trade-off is that you get a fixed product: there's no published plan with CRM sync, warehouse export or a named support rep, which are the things ChartMogul and Baremetrics charge for. If your board pack needs those, budget for one of the paid tools.
- Free, with no revenue cap listed
- Connects to Stripe in one click
- Health scores and at-risk alerts as well as MRR and churn
- Works with Chargebee, Braintree, Zuora and Recurly too
- No published support plan
- No paid tier to upgrade to for extras such as a dedicated rep
- Fewer billing sources than ChartMogul
Free. Checked November 4, 2026.
Stripe Billing analytics: best if you want no extra tool
If you bill subscriptions with Stripe Billing, open the Billing overview in your Stripe Dashboard before you sign up for anything else. It shows MRR and MRR growth, active and new subscribers, ARPU, subscriber lifetime value, trials and trial conversion, churn rate, churned revenue, and subscriber and revenue retention by cohort. It also compares your metrics with similar businesses on Stripe.
On the MRR growth and churned revenue charts you can drill down to see which customers expanded or left in a period, and filter or group some charts by product or price. Exports come as CSVs, including MRR per subscriber per month, monthly subscription metrics and a log of every MRR change by customer. You can also decide whether discounts come off MRR and whether a subscriber counts as active when the subscription starts or when the first payment arrives. Changes to those settings take 24 to 48 hours to show.
Before you rely on it, check its limits. The numbers come from Stripe subscriptions, so revenue from PayPal, an app store or another billing system won't appear. MRR leaves out usage-based products, and usage-based MRR is still a preview you have to request. Filtering and grouping stop working if you bill subscriptions in more than one currency. When any of those bites, ChartMogul or Baremetrics is the next step.
- Already in your Stripe Dashboard if you use Stripe Billing
- Cohort retention and benchmarks against similar Stripe businesses
- Configurable rules for discounts and when a subscriber counts as active
- Ready-made CSV reports of MRR changes by customer
- Only sees Stripe subscriptions
- Usage-based revenue is outside MRR unless you join the preview
- No filtering or grouping when you bill in several currencies
Part of the Stripe Dashboard for Stripe Billing users; Stripe Billing charges its own fee. US pricing was not confirmed. Checked November 4, 2026.
Stripe Sigma: best for custom questions about your Stripe data
Stripe Sigma is for the questions the standard Billing charts can't answer. You can write SQL against your Stripe data, start from a prebuilt template, or ask the built-in AI assistant in plain language and let it build the report. Results can become charts, and you can share queries, publish custom reports in the Dashboard and schedule reports to arrive in your team's inboxes.
Developers can run the same SQL through the Query Run API and feed the results into other systems, and the assistant can connect to an agent through MCP. That makes Sigma a good fit for a finance lead or analyst who already knows the question, such as refunds by product for customers who signed up with a particular coupon, and would rather not export everything to a spreadsheet first.
The flip side is that you build the reports yourself. If what you want is a monthly MRR, churn and LTV dashboard, Billing analytics or a tool like ChartMogul gets you there faster.
New users get a 30-day free trial. After that you pay a monthly fee based on your average number of charges each month, on a monthly or cheaper annual plan, plus a small fee for each charge above your tier. If you use Stripe Data Pipeline to sync data to your own warehouse, Sigma access is included. Stripe's pricing page showed only euro prices when we checked, so confirm the US rate in your Dashboard.
- SQL or plain-language questions on all your Stripe data
- Scheduled reports sent to your team
- Query Run API for automation
- Included with Stripe Data Pipeline
- You build the reports yourself
- Only covers Stripe data
- US dollar pricing was not confirmed
30-day free trial for new users, then a monthly or annual plan priced by monthly charge volume; included with Stripe Data Pipeline. US dollar prices were not confirmed. Checked November 4, 2026.
Putler: best for Stripe plus PayPal and store sales in one report
Putler is the pick when Stripe is only one of the places you get paid. It syncs Stripe with PayPal, Braintree and 2Checkout, with stores such as WooCommerce, Shopify and BigCommerce, with eBay and Etsy, and with Google Analytics and Mailchimp. It then merges duplicates and converts currencies, so one sale doesn't appear twice and every figure is in the same currency.
Every plan includes analytics for sales, customers, products and subscriptions, enriched customer profiles, a sales heatmap, top products and 80-20 analysis, and drill-downs by order status and customer location. You also get a weekly email report, forecasting and revenue goals. You can issue refunds and manage subscriptions from inside Putler, which saves logging into each gateway.
Pricing follows your monthly revenue, and orders are unlimited on every plan: $20 a month up to $10K, $50 up to $30K, $100 up to $50K, $150 up to $100K and $250 up to $200K, rising to $2,250 a month at $3M to $5M. Plans also differ in how many data sources you can connect, but Putler doesn't publish the numbers. The 14-day trial needs no card, although trial reports only cover the last 90 days.
Putler's pricing page talks mostly to online stores. A SaaS business that bills only through Stripe and cares most about MRR movements and cohorts will get more from ChartMogul or Baremetrics.
- Combines Stripe, PayPal, stores and marketplaces
- Removes duplicates and converts currencies
- Refunds and subscription changes from one screen
- Unlimited orders on every plan
- No free plan
- Data source limits per plan aren't published
- Price climbs steeply with revenue
- Trial reports only cover the last 90 days
$20 a month up to $10K monthly revenue, $50 to $30K, $100 to $50K, $150 to $100K, up to $2,250 a month at $3M to $5M; custom above that. 14-day free trial. Checked November 4, 2026.
RevenueCat: best for apps that also take Stripe payments on the web
RevenueCat belongs on this list if you sell an app subscription in the stores and also take payments through Stripe on the web. It receives purchase events from the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Stripe and Paddle, and gives you cross-platform customer insights, so a customer who subscribed on iPhone and upgraded on the web isn't split in two.
The dashboard reports more than 40 metrics, and RevenueCat adds predictive LTV cohort analysis, daily data delivery to your cloud storage, webhooks and a REST API. It also handles the purchase side: open-source SDKs, a subscription backend, its own web billing and a paywall editor.
RevenueCat is free until you track $2,500 in revenue a month, then charges 1% of tracked revenue. Paywalls, web-to-app funnels and A/B tests are an optional Growth Tools add-on, charged at 1% of tracked revenue from conversions those tools bring in. Enterprise plans are custom.
If you only sell on the web, RevenueCat is more than you need, since most of what you pay for is app purchase handling. A web-only Stripe business is better served by ChartMogul, Baremetrics or ProfitWell Metrics.
- Free until $2,500 tracked revenue a month
- App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Stripe and Paddle in one view
- More than 40 metrics plus predictive LTV cohorts
- Built for apps; web-only businesses pay for features they won't use
- The 1% fee grows with your revenue
- Paywalls and A/B tests cost another 1% of the revenue they drive
Free up to $2,500 monthly tracked revenue, then 1% of tracked revenue. Growth Tools add-on 1% of tracked revenue from its conversions. Enterprise custom. Checked November 4, 2026.
What to look for
Most Stripe analytics tools show the same headline numbers: MRR, ARR, churn, LTV and ARPU. The differences that matter show up when your billing gets messier or your team gets bigger.
Where your revenue comes from
If every dollar runs through Stripe subscriptions, Stripe's own Billing analytics or ProfitWell Metrics may be all you need. Add PayPal, an app store, a second Stripe account or a billing system such as Chargebee, and you need a tool that merges them. ChartMogul imports from more than 30 sources, Putler combines gateways with online stores, and RevenueCat covers the app stores. Baremetrics lists PayPal as coming soon, so check that before you commit.
How the price grows
ChartMogul and Baremetrics charge by the revenue they track, so your bill rises as you grow even if nothing else changes. Putler does the same with monthly revenue bands, and RevenueCat takes 1% above $2,500 a month. Work out what you'd pay at twice your current revenue, not just today.
How each tool defines MRR
Two tools can show different MRR for the same Stripe account. Look for settings that control how discounts, free trials, past-due invoices and annual plans count. Stripe lets you choose whether discounts come off MRR and when a subscriber counts as active; the paid tools have similar settings. Pick one definition and stick with it, especially if investors see the numbers.
Failed payments and cancellations
Some of the revenue you lose comes from failed card payments rather than customers choosing to leave. Baremetrics sells Payment Recovery and Cancellation Insights as add-ons. Stripe Billing has its own automatic reminders and Smart Retries for failed payments.
Who needs access
Starter on ChartMogul allows three team members; Baremetrics doesn't charge by seat. If sales, support and finance all want the numbers, ChartMogul's CRM sync (Starter and up) and Baremetrics' Intercom integration (Growth and up) send revenue data to the tools those teams already use.
Exports and custom questions
Sooner or later someone asks a question the dashboard can't answer. Stripe Sigma answers it with SQL or plain-language prompts against your Stripe data. ChartMogul Pro pushes data to your warehouse, and Baremetrics Scale has an analytics API.
Try it on your own data
Most of these tools connect to Stripe in a few clicks and import your history. Connect two of them during their trials and compare the MRR they report with what you expect. The one whose numbers you can explain is the one to keep.
How we chose
We started with the tools that connect to Stripe directly and report subscription metrics, then checked each vendor's pricing page, integration list and documentation on November 4, 2026. We favored tools with a free tier or a clear published price, and we noted where pricing scales with your revenue. Billing platforms that happen to include reports, such as Chargebee, are covered in our guide to subscription analytics tools, which also handles businesses that bill in several places.
Questions people ask
Does Stripe have built-in analytics?
Yes. If you use Stripe Billing, the Billing overview in your Dashboard shows MRR, subscribers, trials, churn, cohort retention and benchmarks against similar businesses on Stripe, with CSV exports. For custom reports, Stripe Sigma lets you query your Stripe data with SQL or plain-language prompts and has a 30-day free trial for new users.
What is the best free Stripe analytics tool?
ProfitWell Metrics from Paddle is free and lists no revenue cap. ChartMogul is free up to $10K MRR, and Baremetrics' integrations page says it is free up to $180K ARR, though its pricing page doesn't repeat that. Stripe Billing users also get Billing analytics in the Dashboard.
How does Stripe calculate MRR?
Stripe adds up the monthly-normalized value of all subscriptions that are active or past due. It leaves out tax, subscribers on free plans and usage-based products, and a subscription stops counting when it is canceled or marked unpaid. A yearly $600 plan counts as $50 of MRR.
Is ChartMogul or Baremetrics better for Stripe?
Both connect to Stripe and report the core SaaS metrics. ChartMogul handles more billing sources and joins CRM data from HubSpot and Intercom, so it suits companies that bill in several places. Baremetrics sells payment recovery and cancellation tools, so it suits Stripe businesses that want to cut churn as well as measure it.
Can I see PayPal and Stripe revenue together?
Yes, with ChartMogul or Putler. ChartMogul lists PayPal among its billing sources, and Putler syncs PayPal, Stripe, Braintree and online stores into one set of reports. Baremetrics lists PayPal as coming soon.
Is ProfitWell still free?
Yes. Paddle owns ProfitWell, and its ProfitWell Metrics page describes the product as completely free. It connects to Stripe, Chargebee, Braintree, Zuora, Recurly and Paddle.
Do I need Stripe Sigma if I use ChartMogul or Baremetrics?
Usually not for standard SaaS metrics, which those tools calculate for you. Sigma is worth having when you need answers about raw Stripe data that no dashboard covers, such as refunds by coupon or charges by card country.
