Baremetrics vs Submetrics

Baremetrics is subscription analytics software for businesses that track recurring revenue. It reports more than 28 metrics, including MRR, ARR, churn, upgrades and downgrades, alongside cohort analysis, predictive CLV, profitability metrics and customer segmentation. Forecasting addresses hiring, expansion and departmental budgets. Growth includes custom dashboards. Cancellation Insights collects cancellation feedback, shows revenue lost by reason and can send personalized follow-up emails. Payment Recovery supplies automated tools and reminders for failed payments. Native integrations include Stripe, Shopify Partners, Braintree, Recurly, App Store Connect, Google Play and Chargebee. Other data can enter through the API or Intercom and Zapier integrations. The service runs on the web and through an API. Launch starts at $75/mo with one integration, Growth at $255/mo with two, and Scale at $1152/mo with unlimited integrations. Payment Recovery and Cancellation Insights each cost $129/mo as add-ons. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available.

Submetrics is subscription analytics for indie founders, development agencies, and indie hackers, including SaaS products under $50K MRR. It tracks MRR, ARR, churn, customer lifetime value, expansion, and related unit-economics measures from billing data. The dashboard updates revenue metrics in real time as subscriptions start, expand, contract, or churn. Slack or email alerts can report cancellations, with reasons taken from Stripe metadata. Lifetime value can be segmented by plan, cohort, or acquisition channel, while retention is displayed in cohort heatmaps. The Pro plan adds AI revenue projections for three, six, and 12 months with confidence intervals. Stripe and RevenueCat integrations are live; Paddle is in beta, and three other connections are coming soon. Plans start at $19 a month, with a 14-day trial and no credit card required. Supported platforms are web, iOS, Android, and API.
