7 Best SaaS Analytics Tools for MRR, Churn and ARR

The quick answer

Quick answer: for subscription metrics such as MRR, ARR, churn and expansion, ChartMogul is free up to $10K MRR and then scales with your revenue (Starter from $57 a month billed annually), and ProfitWell Metrics from Paddle is free and connects to Stripe, Chargebee and other billing tools. Baremetrics starts at $75 a month and adds trial insights and forecasting on higher plans. If you bill on Stripe, its Billing Analytics dashboard already shows MRR, churn and retention, and Stripe Sigma adds SQL reports from $10 a month on an annual plan. Chargebee, Maxio and Recurly include SaaS metrics inside their billing platforms. Prices are as of October 2026, checked on each vendor's own site.

SaaS analytics vs product analytics

"SaaS analytics" usually means revenue and subscription metrics computed from billing data: MRR and ARR, new, expansion, contraction and churned MRR, customer and revenue churn, net revenue retention, average revenue per account, trial conversion and lifetime value. These tools read your billing system, clean up the edge cases (refunds, discounts, annual plans spread across months, currency) and give you one number the finance team and the board can agree on.

Product analytics answers a different question: what users do inside the product, which features they adopt and where they drop off. A complete picture needs both, because a churn number tells you that revenue left and product data tells you why. For the product side, see our comparison of product analytics tools. For definitions of the metrics themselves, our guides to monthly recurring revenue and churn rate cover the formulas.

SaaS analytics tools compared

1. ChartMogul

Who it is for: SaaS companies that want one trusted source for MRR, ARR and churn, especially with more than one billing system.

Pricing: Free up to $10K MRR (up to $120K ARR tracked). Starter starts at $69 a month billed monthly or $57 billed annually, with up to 3 team members and one billing system plus two custom or third-party sources. Pro starts at $119 a month monthly or $99 annually, with unlimited team members and several billing systems. Paid prices rise with the ARR you track. Enterprise starts at $19,900 a year for companies over $10M ARR. Source: ChartMogul pricing.

Strengths: billing sources such as Stripe and Chargebee connect natively, and partner-built sources cover Paddle and Xero. Data can also arrive by API, CSV, Google Sheets, n8n or Zapier. Starter syncs data to your CRM and shares updates in Slack; Pro adds two-way CRM sync and pushes data to your warehouse.

Limits: price is tied to ARR, so costs grow as you do, and multiple billing systems need Pro.

2. Baremetrics

Who it is for: founders and small finance teams that want subscription metrics plus forecasting and failed-payment recovery from one vendor.

Pricing: Launch starts at $75 a month for $0 to $360K ARR with one integration. Growth starts at $255 a month for $360K to $3.6M ARR, and Scale at $1,152 a month for over $3.6M ARR. The page advertises a 35% annual discount. Payment Recovery is a $129 a month add-on. Source: Baremetrics pricing.

Strengths: over 28 subscription metrics on Launch, including MRR, ARR, churn, upgrades and downgrades, plus trial insights, automated email reports and segments enriched with Clearbit data. Growth adds custom dashboards, benchmarks, goal tracking and Slack and Intercom integrations; Scale adds scenario planning, budget tracking and an analytics API. Integrations include Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, Chargebee, the App Store and Google Play.

Limits: the plan is set by ARR band, and the number of billing integrations is capped on lower plans.

3. ProfitWell Metrics (Paddle)

Who it is for: early-stage teams that want accurate subscription reporting without paying for it.

Pricing: free. Paddle describes ProfitWell Metrics as real-time subscription analytics, completely free. Source: ProfitWell Metrics.

Strengths: revenue reporting for subscription and SaaS businesses that integrates with Stripe, Chargebee and other payment and billing tools, not only Paddle.

Limits: it is a reporting product inside Paddle's wider billing business, so check which extras need a Paddle product before you plan around them.

4. Stripe Billing Analytics and Stripe Sigma

Who it is for: companies that already run subscriptions on Stripe Billing.

Pricing: Stripe Billing is pay as you go at 0.7% of Billing volume, according to Stripe's Billing pricing page. Stripe Sigma, for custom reports, starts at $15 a month on a monthly subscription or $10 a month on an annual one for up to 250 charges a month, with a free trial, according to Stripe's Sigma pricing page.

Strengths: the Billing Analytics dashboard has Revenue, Subscribers, Trials, Churn and Usage pages, lets you filter, group and benchmark your metrics against similar businesses on Stripe, and offers prebuilt reports such as MRR per subscriber per month, an MRR roll-forward with retention, and a log of every customer MRR change. Sigma lets you query your Stripe data with SQL or natural language prompts. Source: Stripe Billing Analytics docs.

Limits: it only sees Stripe data, and usage-based MRR is still in a preview program.

5. Chargebee

Who it is for: SaaS teams that want billing and SaaS metrics from the same platform.

Pricing: the Billing Flow plan is either $0 a month plus 0.80% or $99 a month plus 0.65% of monthly invoicing volume, and includes 100M usage events a month. Enterprise is by demo. Source: Chargebee pricing.

Strengths: the pricing page lists SaaS metrics, flexible MRR calculations, A/R aging, a basic report builder and RevenueStory integrated analytics on both Flow and Enterprise, plus usage and revenue analytics for metered plans.

Limits: data export to GCS, Amazon S3, Snowflake and BI tools is an Enterprise feature, and the metrics only cover what Chargebee bills. If you are reviewing billing too, see our Chargebee alternatives.

6. Maxio

Who it is for: finance-led B2B SaaS companies that want billing, revenue recognition and investor-grade SaaS metrics together.

Pricing: Grow is $599 a month for up to $100K in monthly billings; Scale (over $100K) is quote-based. Default agreements are paid annually, and Maxio says there is no charge for additional users. Source: Maxio pricing.

Strengths: SaaS metric reports including MRR and ARR computations, projections, renewal rates and a subscription momentum report showing opening, new, lost, expansion and contraction balances, alongside ASC 606 and IFRS 15 revenue recognition.

Limits: built for finance teams rather than a quick self-serve start, with annual contracts by default.

7. Recurly

Who it is for: subscription businesses with enough volume to want analytics and churn tools inside their billing platform.

Pricing: Starter is $249 a month plus 0.9% of billing volume, with the first $40K of billings each month included at no charge and a 90-day free trial. All-Access has a $1M billing volume minimum and is priced at as low as under 1% of billing volume, billed annually. Source: Recurly pricing.

Strengths: All-Access adds AI-powered analytics and insights, custom reporting, additional analytics and automated exports, plus intelligent churn-prevention tools.

Limits: the deeper analytics are on All-Access, so smaller teams on Starter may still want a separate metrics tool.

How to choose a SaaS analytics tool

Start with your billing setup. If everything runs through one Stripe account and you need standard metrics, Stripe's own Billing Analytics may be enough, with Sigma for custom questions. If you have more than one billing source, or want CRM and warehouse sync, look at ChartMogul or Baremetrics. If budget is the constraint, ProfitWell Metrics and ChartMogul's free tier cover early stages. If finance needs revenue recognition and audit-ready reports, Maxio, Chargebee or Recurly keep metrics next to the ledger.

Then check that the tool's definitions match yours: how it treats annual plans, discounts, refunds, trials and paused subscriptions, and whether you can see the customer-level changes behind each number. Revenue metrics show where retention is slipping; connecting that to behaviour inside the product is the next step, and our guide to gross revenue retention explains the related metric. If you want to show metrics to your own customers inside your app, that is a job for embedded analytics platforms. To hear from customers directly about why they cancel or stay, pair the numbers with website feedback tools.
