Subscription analytics software turns billing events into MRR, churn, and cohort views. It is not the payment processor, unless the vendor sells both and the page separates them.
Every entry uses the same fields: published pricing, free plan or trial, what the fee buys, and the main limitation. The order is not a quality ranking. Public $0 / published price first, quote-led last. Each row is a distinct company.

Pricing checked on October 4, 2026. ChartMogul and Baremetrics figures are the morning read. Paddle Metrics is the product-menu label on paddle.com the same day, after profitwell.com/pricing showed checkout fees rather than a metrics seat. RevenueCat figures are revenuecat.com/pricing. Free means a standing free plan or a stated 100% free product, not a trial we inferred.
Four companies. A payments fee is not a metrics seat price.
How this market is priced
Some analytics products are free because the vendor sells billing or retention next to them. Others scale with MRR, ARR, or a percentage of tracked revenue. Paddle Metrics and ChartMogul publish a $0 start. RevenueCat publishes a free band, then 1%. Baremetrics publishes a paid floor, so it is last.
The 4 companies in detail
1. Paddle Metrics
100% FREE ON THE PRODUCT MENU
Best for: a team that wants subscription analytics without a metrics seat price.
| Published pricing | Paddleβs product menu, checked October 4, 2026, labels Metrics as βReal-time subscription analytics, 100% free.β We did not find a metrics seat price. Paddle Billing itself is a separate merchant-of-record fee, not this row. |
| Free plan or trial | Described as 100% free on paddle.com. No metrics dollar amount on the pages we opened. |
| What the fee buys | Subscription analytics. Retain, Paddleβs dunning product, is a different line and is not priced on this card. |
| Limitation | Free metrics is not a free payments stack. Using Paddle Billing is a separate commercial decision. |
- The Paddle site labels Metrics as real-time subscription analytics, 100% free.
- profitwell.com/pricing redirected into Paddle checkout pricing, which is why the morning draft excluded it.
- This row is the Metrics label, not the 5% plus 50Β’ payments fee.
2. ChartMogul
$0 UNTIL $10K MRR
Best for: an early SaaS company that wants investor-style metrics before it pays.
| Published pricing | Free $0 up to $10K MRR. Starter $57 per month, billed annually. Pro $99 per month, billed annually, on the $450K ARR slider loaded on October 4, 2026. Enterprise from $19,900 per year. |
| Free plan or trial | Standing Free plan to $10K MRR. Paid plans offer a free trial button. |
| What the fee buys | Free: 1 billing source, unlimited team members, up to $120K ARR tracked. Starter: 3 team members, 1 billing source, 2 custom sources. Pro: unlimited members, up to 5 billing sources, warehouse destinations. |
| Limitation | The Pro dollar amount moves with the ARR slider. Enterprise is a published floor, then a demo. |
- ChartMogulβs page said Free covers up to $10K MRR.
- Starter was $57 per month billed annually and caps the team at 3.
- Enterprise starts at $19,900 per year for companies over $10M ARR.
3. RevenueCat
FREE TO $2,500 MTR, THEN 1%
Best for: an app business that tracks subscription revenue and can accept a percentage above the free band.
| Published pricing | Pro is free up to $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue. Above that, 1% of tracked revenue. Growth tools are also 1% of MTR on what you track. Enterprise is custom. |
| Free plan or trial | Standing free band to $2,500 MTR. Not a timed trial. |
| What the fee buys | Subscription infrastructure and analytics for app revenue. The 1% applies after the free band, on tracked revenue, not as a seat. |
| Limitation | The price is a percentage of tracked revenue after $2,500 MTR. A high-revenue app should not read βfreeβ as the whole invoice. |
- Pro is free up to $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue.
- Above that band the page says 1% of what you track.
- Enterprise is custom, with volume discounts described but not listed.
4. Baremetrics
FROM $49 A MONTH
Best for: a subscription business that has already passed a free tier and wants a listed start.
| Published pricing | Launch starts at $49/month for $0β$360K ARR and one integration. Growth starts at $189/month for $360Kβ$3.6M ARR and two integrations. Scale starts at $749/month for $3.6M+ ARR and unlimited integrations. A 35% annual discount control was on the page. |
| Free plan or trial | No standing $0 plan on the pricing page we loaded. |
| What the fee buys | Launch: subscription analytics, trial insights, email reports, segments. Growth adds custom dashboards, benchmarks, Slack, Intercom. Scale adds scenario planning and an analytics API. Payment recovery and cancellation insights were +$129/month each. |
| Limitation | βStarts atβ means the price can rise inside the ARR band. We did not toggle the annual control, so $49 may be monthly list. |
- Baremetrics listed Launch at $49 a month for up to $360K ARR.
- Growth is the next published band, from $189 a month.
- Failed-payment recovery is an add-on at $129 a month, not inside Launch.

Buying tip
Read the unit. ChartMogul and Baremetrics move with ARR. RevenueCat becomes 1% of tracked revenue after $2,500. Paddleβs payments fee is not the Metrics price.
How this comparison was put together
We read ChartMogul, Baremetrics, Paddle, and RevenueCat pages on October 4, 2026. The morning draft stopped at two companies because the ProfitWell URL showed checkout pricing. The product menu still labels Metrics as 100% free, so it is included as its own row. No badges. No quality ranking.
FAQ
Is ChartMogul Pro always $99?
No. $99 was the Pro amount on the annual view with the slider at $450K ARR. The page changes the price as ARR changes.
Is Paddle Metrics the same as Paddleβs 5% fee?
No. The product menu calls Metrics 100% free. The payments fee is Paddle Billing, a different product.
When does RevenueCat stop being free?
Pro is free up to $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue. Above that, the page says 1% of what you track.
Does Baremetrics have a $0 plan?
Not on the page we loaded. Launch starts at $49 per month for the $0β$360K ARR band.
