Stripe is excellent for processing payments, but its analytics fall short for businesses looking to grow and optimize their revenue. Sure, Stripe’s built-in dashboard offers useful overviews, but they are pretty limited when it comes to in-depth analysis. Need more advanced reporting? You’d have to pay extra for Stripe Sigma and know SQL.
Even with those options, getting the real-time metrics SaaS businesses rely on, like MRR, LTV, or customer churn, becomes time-consuming. This is where Baremetrics shines. By connecting Stripe to Baremetrics, you instantly unlock real-time updates and detailed reports that let you focus on what really matters—growing your business.

Stripe users need to stay focused on the metrics that matter to make informed decisions. Let’s explore the most important reports and metrics and how Baremetrics simplifies access to these insights.
Your customers’ billing history is vital for managing revenue, handling disputes, and reconciling accounts. With Baremetrics, you can quickly access a detailed breakdown of every customer’s payment history in seconds.

Churn—whether it’s customer churn or revenue churn—can make or break a subscription business. However, manually calculating churn is both time-consuming and error-prone. Baremetrics automates this process, providing up-to-date customer and revenue churn rates at a glance so you can focus on reducing churn instead of calculating it.

Tracking your customer acquisition cost (CAC) manually, especially when combining data from different channels, is tricky. Baremetrics automatically tracks your acquisition costs, giving you insights into how much you spend to bring in new customers. It even breaks down CAC by different segments, helping you optimize your marketing spend. For example, you may discover you’re spending more to acquire customers through mobile app stores, even though they don’t retain as long as those you convert on your website.
See how Stripe users can calculate CAC with Baremetrics.
Lifetime value (LTV) is another difficult-to-calculate metric, yet another that’s always readily available and up-to-date within the Baremetrics dashboard.
This is particularly important because the metrics used to calculate LTV aren’t fixed and are often in flux. Businesses need to make sure they have current and accurate information when making strategic business decisions.
Check out our guide on calculating LTV with Baremetrics and Stripe.
