Baremetrics

Subscription analytics and insights for SaaS businesses

PaidAdded Jan 1, 2014

About

Baremetrics connects to your payment processor (Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, etc.) and gives you real-time analytics on MRR, churn, LTV, and other key SaaS metrics. Features include forecasting, cancellation insights, and benchmark data. Originally started as a side project because the founder was too lazy to build his own cohort charts.

Was running a SaaS and couldn't be bothered to build his own MRR dashboard. Figured other founders had the same problem.

First Customer

Shared the product on Hacker News and got paying customers within the first day.

What It Means

An early example of building in public and radical transparency as a growth strategy.

The Dream

To give every subscription business instant clarity on their most important metrics.
