GrowPanel vs Shorttags SaaS Metrics

GrowPanel provides subscription analytics for SaaS businesses through web and API access. It reports real-time MRR, ARR, LTV, churn, and customer lifetime metrics, alongside recurring and one-time revenue, refunds, discounts, fees, taxes, and foreign exchange. Forecasts cover MRR and cashflow. Cohort analysis, trial tracking, conversion rates, retention trends, and cancellation comments help teams examine customer behavior. Billing data connections include Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, Alunta, Google Sheets, and a custom API; other listed integrations include HubSpot, Slack, Microsoft Teams, n8n, Make, Zapier, webhooks, and Google Data Studio. GrowPanel AI answers questions about account data and can propose actions for approval. An MCP server connects compatible AI assistants to GrowPanel data. Billing connections have read-only access and cannot create or modify subscriptions or charge customers. The service offers a free plan and a 14-day trial. Paid plans start at $49/mo billed annually. GrowPanel says persistent customer data is stored in the EU and account data is deleted from production systems within 30 days after account deletion.

Shorttags SaaS Metrics is a web dashboard for combining subscription, growth, revenue, traffic, and custom measurements. Its Stripe connection tracks MRR, ARR, churn, subscriptions, charges, and invoice payments. Cloudflare and Plausible integrations are also listed, and an API accepts custom metrics. The service provides real-time alerts for MRR drops, churn spikes, and revenue milestones, along with MRR goals and cohort analysis. Custom dashboards can be shared through public links or embedded websites. Webhooks can send notifications to Slack, Discord, or other services. The free plan costs nothing and covers up to three projects, 500 events per month, 40 days of retention, and email notifications. Pro costs $9 a month for 25 projects, 50,000 events monthly, 90 days of retention, and push, email, and webhook notifications. Retention varies by plan from 7 to 365 days.
