RedChurn vs Shorttags SaaS Metrics

RedChurn is a subscription analytics and retention platform for mobile apps. It tracks MRR, churn, trials, and cohorts, and automates flows for billing recovery, cancellation saves, trial retention, and win-back. Billing issues detected through webhooks can trigger dunning emails or an in-app card-update prompt at the subscriber’s next app opening. Cancellation tools include native iOS and Android save screens and email follow-ups within 48 hours. Trial cancellation flows can send J-3 and J-1 reminder emails and offer an in-app save flow. For expired subscriptions, multi-step emails and in-app prompts can encourage a return, with reactivation tracked in Red Center. The dashboard provides live metrics and segments by country, store, and plan, plus retention-flow and save attribution. Integrations listed are RevenueCat, Superwall, and Polar; email and in-app flow support varies by integration. Starter is free, billed monthly, for up to 50 active subscribers and one app, with 30 days of retention history. Growth is listed as available from 500 subscribers.

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.
