Subscription reporting is the key to growing a SaaS business, but how do you know which analytics platform is right for you? Baremetrics, ChartMogul, and SaaSOptics are three popular solutions to consider.

Read on to learn more about the differences between these platforms in terms of capabilities, ease of use, UI, customer support, and price. This will help you decide which tool fits the unique needs of your SaaS or subscription business.

About Baremetrics

Baremetrics is a metrics, engagement, and dunning platform built from the ground up for SaaS and subscription companies. The platform’s Smart Dashboards provide a simple and intuitive view of your metrics to drive smarter business decisions.

Besides tracking SaaS metrics, Baremetrics also provides automated capabilities for improving revenue recovery and reducing churn. By giving you the dunning and customer engagement tools you need to take action, you can adopt a data-driven approach to scale your SaaS business.

About ChartMogul

ChartMogul is a SaaS analytics tool for measuring, understanding, and growing subscription revenue. The platform is primarily focused on providing accurate metrics that can be viewed using data analysis tools and charts.

While ChartMogul has a lot of great visualization features, it doesn’t have as many features for taking action on the data when compared to a platform like Baremetrics. That means SaaS companies will likely need to pair ChartMogul with another platform for automated dunning and revenue recovery.

About SaaSOptics

However, with so many options comes complexity. In contrast, Baremetrics focuses on the most essential metrics and offers automated features. The result is a much simpler learning curve that reduces the time required to start generating insights.

Which Is Right for You: Baremetrics, ChartMogul, or SaaSOptics?

While all three platforms are built for SaaS and subscription businesses, each one has different strengths and weaknesses depending on what you’re looking for. 

ChartMogul offers data analytics and segmentation, but it doesn’t provide many features for taking action on these insights. SaaSOptics has comprehensive features for B2B SaaS companies and might be a bit complicated for small to mid-sized companies.

Baremetrics is an easy-to-use analytics platform that tracks all of the most essential metrics for SaaS and subscription businesses. The platform also goes beyond subscription analytics by providing automated tools for dunning and churn insights, as well as advanced financial forecasting and scenario planning.
